Today we travelled from Arenal to our next destination - Monteverde, a hill top town surrounded by cloud forest. The quickest route between the two towns is a combo of car and boat, so we were driven down to the lake where we had to drag our bags down the side of the bank to hop on the boat - it all felt a bit dodgy as if we were being smuggled on to the boat! The journey across the lake took about half an hour and it was a very scenic.

When we got off at the other side we had to climb another bank to get to the minibus waiting for us - one of the workers took my bag from me and I am glad he did as I could just about get myself up there, it would have been impossible with my bag as well! We then had the bumpiest 2 hour journey to Monteverde - the roads aren't paved so you are being bumped around all over the place.
We are staying in a small boutique hotel where the rooms are made up of tree houses! Our treehouse is lovely, you really feel like you are staying in a little cabin in the woods!

From 5-6pm all the guests get together with the owner and her staff in the main house to have afternoon tea whilst watching the sunset. I had read about this before we had arrived and was looking forward to delights such as sangria, wine and sweet treats whilst watching the sun set but of course, I didn't know I was going to have gastroenteritis and have to keep my diet bland so whilst Peter was enjoying his red wine and delicious cheese cake, I had a cup of tea.....
