tortuguero

So yesterday I came back from my 3 day Tortuguero trip and I had so much fun! I saw so many animals 3 out of 4 monkeys who live here in Costa Rica (White Face, Spider Monkey and a sort of howler monkey I guess) than Crocodiles, Arrow Poison Frogs, Snakes, Baby Turtles...

So we started Wednesday in the morning.. A friend slept at my house, because so it was easier for her to get there. We met at 6 ' clock and took a bus in San José who made a stop also in Heredia so everyone had a good opurtunity do get there. On the way we made a stop to have breakfast, there I saw a sloth with a little baby sloth, damn cute! We arrived like.. 10 or 11 o' clock I can't really remember it.. We had time to look around a little. It wasn't really a hotel more like little lodges on stilts (you really need them there.. a hell lot of rain on the caribbean side!!)
After lunch we went to the little town of Tortuguero, where everything was pretty touristic (they could only give us money change in dollars and every second person was from the states or germay)We walked around a little and took some pictures at the beach.
In the evening we played some stupid group games with our organization.. Ok they tried..





Thursday we went on a pretty rainy trip trough the canals of the national park. It was wonderful, though I feared that some crocodiles would kick our little boat all the time, but it didn't happen. Our driver had eagle eyes, he saw even the smallest animals, but taking photos was really hard, because as I said it rained (as the british would say) cats and dogs.
We also walked a little around in the rainforest (but just in the part that belonged to the hotel) earlier, there I saw a poison arrow frog.
In the evening we "danced" a little and had some fun. I stayed up too long..






Friday in the morning I had to get up at 4:30 to see the little baby turtles on their way to the sea. I was tired as hell but this experience was totally worth it! We got back at 6:30 I just fell in my bed because it was freezing cold and all my clothes were wet as hell. But I got up at 7 again to eat. Pretty soon after breakfast we left.


I had wonderful 3 days. I'm really exhausted but yeah totally worth it ;)
