Tortuguero to Arenal, Costa Rica: Friday 19 February

Today we spent most of the day travelling, but before we left we noticed this MASSIVE beetle just outside of our room! It was as big as my palm, I was freaking out a bit when I was taking the photo in case it flew up in to my face!

As we were travelling on to Arenal, rather than return to San Jose I had booked our transport through an agent rather than the hotel - lets just say it wasn't one of greatest experiences and we were glad to finally get to the hotel after 7 hours of travelling! From travelling on the 'public boat' where they crammed loads of people on and the engine of the boat spluttering and slow down for the whole trip, to the tiny mini bus that we were in that had hardly any leg room - we were not impressed!

However, we we very pleased with the hotel in Arenal when we finally arrived - each room is an individual wooden cabin, with its own private deck overlooking the rainforest - it even has its own jacuzzi which me and Peter jumped into as soon as we arrived!
