RYAN IN PARADISE (PART 2)

After spending the night at Vista Golfo we decided to try
the Adventure Park Canopy Saturday morning...
25 zip lines & over 11 waterfalls (including 2 repels).

First repelling experience..

Swimming in waterfall was cold but stunning.
Does Elder Pete mean that the water was stunningly cold,
or the scene was stunning? Hmm, probably both.

All good things have to end but this was memorable!

 

Car problems came to a head 3 km past the Crocodile Bridge.
We bought a new battery, but things actually got worse!

The views were still amazing,

 we spent at the Auto Mechanics shop. Believe it or not,

this is our 4th failed attempt to get into Manuel Antonio Park.

 

Monkey crossing the road.  Quepos style

Quepos Branch where we...

preached and teached.

One of the best views in a country of amazing vistas.

 

Must admit that after 4 unsuccessful attempts,

Manuel Antonio was a bit disappointing

In Costa Rica you can see most anything,

even a vendor selling his wares, on a semi.

Final day.. gave Ryan his choice of the days agenda...

you guessed it, he chose another waterfall,

Orosi Tapanti!  The hike was unbelievable!

and the falls, stunning.

 

but ultimately Ryan couldn't let a mountain of jungle, with no

trails, stop him from reaching 1 of the tallest falls in Costa Rica.

 

So we bouldered up the cascades for 50 minutes

When my foot slipped on this moss covered rock and I fell backwards

Ryan yelled,  No!, No!, Nooo..but I survived ok.

Needless to say, Hermana Pete was not too happy when she found out.

One final stop at the Bridge in Orosi.

7 extremely filled days of extreme beauty

in amazing Costa Rica.
