Nature Air Hop from Coast to Coast

On Sunday we flew in a 18 passenger plane from Bocas (Caribbean) to San Jose, through customs, then back on the same plane for a 20 minute flight to Quepos (Pacific) through a lightning storm. We are landing there!? A small runway cut into the forest. Quite an experience... more exhilerating than our zip-line or rafting tours! Once in Manuel Antonio, just down the road, we fell in love with the Verde Mar Hotel (right on the beach/in the jungle/upgraded to a suite) so we added a third night. Day one: rafting the class IV Naranjo River. Beach walk in the afternoon during/in and intensive rain and lightning storm¨ON TOP¨of us. Day two: hiking, animal spotting, and beaching it in Manuel Antonio National Park, followed by surfing the head high beach break infront of our hotel. Day three: Heading south for more beach time in Dominical before we head back to San Jose and then off to Ecuador. Having the time of our lives, the tans are coming along nicely!
