Tuesday, April 29 - afternoon
There was a picnic grove where we were to be served lunch. All these tiny red spider-like insects were crawling all over the picnic tables - creepy welcome. We were also greeted by a baby wild boar - so cute! While the tour guide was explaining the schedule for the day, the little boar settled into the sand in the open-air kitchen to sleep. We had an hour before lunch would be served so we headed out for water activities. Half of us kayaked and the rest snorkeled. I was in the snorkeling group. The water was rather murky so we couldn't see very far into the water. Took us a while to find fish (I was beginning to think that there were no fish to see). But we headed further out keeping close to the rocks where we found finally found fish.
The staff from the ship cooked and served our food. Cerviche with crackers, pasta salad, cosada, cake with lime sauce. Then waiting for sufficient time to pass after eating, we all went snorkeling. This time we headed straight for the spot with fish...only to find very few fish. Alice and Jody did see an iguana on the rocks. Since we weren't having much luck with snorkeling, we headed towards to deserted beach on the other side of the rocks. The sand there was very fine, compared to the other beach. Took a bunch of pictures of us in the water with a cloudy background. By the time we headed back to the other beach, it was time to pack up and sail back to Puntarenas.
We formed a single file line to get on the boat. Before we got on, they hosed our feet for sand. Shally was in front of me and when she stepped up to the gangplank to get hosed, her flipflop fell. Laughing, she put her foot down to put it back on. And then the same flipflop fell again. Now we're both laughing pretty hard, and so were the crew members with the hose. :p
