Today Kayla and I
woke up early so we could hike to the La
Fortuna waterfall. When we got to the park, we were the first ones to enter for
the day. We made it down the countless
stairs in record time and only stopped to take in the surrounding beauty. We
spent a little time at the bottom looking at the falls and bird watching from
the basin. After about 15 minutes we got the courage to take on the stairs
again. Seriously, there were so many!

Kayla and I then
grabbed a quick cup of iced coffee and breakfast before heading back to the
Tabacon Resort. We quickly packed up the room and headed to the hot springs for
one last time before our long trip to San Jose.
After 2 hours of
lounging around, we decided to take the scenic route around Lake Arenal towards
San Jose. Our only flaw was not realizing that this route added about 2.5 hours
onto our trip… We actually were only 1 hour away from Costa de Oro. This unfortunately
made us arrive to San Jose well past dark . Anyone who has been to Costa Rica
knows maneuvering through the capitol during the day is incredibly hard, but at
night it is so much worse. Luckily, my parents were able to book us a hotel
just outside the city and very close to the airport. When we arrived, I
discovered it was the first hotel I had stayed at in Costa Rica 15 years
earlier. It was fun to see how much it had changed.
