We were picked up at 07.05am to depart for the Arenal Volcano. It was a huge good bus for about eight of us. The drive was pretty, but very slow and winding with heavily potholed areas.
We stopped at the Love Cafe, which turned out to be run by Israelis. It was vegetarian kosher. We had coffee there before proceeding to Arenal. We reached our hotel, the Arenal Springs, at about 10.30am.
As our rooms weren't ready, we went to the hot springs while Earle and Jackie wandered around the property looking for tropical birds.
In the afternoon, Gags (Adele), Earle and Jackie went for a guided nature walk. Ingrid and I walked up the road. We saw a sloth, many leaf cutter ants and some hawks.
In the evening we went into town, where we shad dinner at a Soda used by the locals, two blocks off the main drag. It was terrific.
We returned to the hotel where we swam in the hot springs before retiring for an earlyish night.
