Day 5 - La Fortuna

It was time for rainforest bird watching. In the morning after breakfast we went to look for some rainforest animals. 

In the hotel


Our cabin


We had a guide and he was very knowledgeable. He showed us many beautiful birds and few animals. It was great since we were just 5 and guide could show and explain better. 

First animal we saw was basilisque Or Jesus's lizard. Our guide took pictures in my camera attaching to his scope. What a great idea. 


Looking for toucan. We saw 3-4 but couldn't capture it. Actually when we checked in our hotel and were walking in the room, we saw two. It's an amazing bird and not in cage, freely flying.




Baby alligator 


Some butterflies




It's great to see birds and animals in their habitat instead of cage and zoo.
It was great introduction to rainforest animals.

Eat good food at lava rocks!!

Now it was time to experience real rainforest. In the afternoon at 2 we started to see the volcano from the closest point and after that we were going to hike in rainforest. Our hike started with the rain. Shri got ponchos for us. It was totally different experience to walk in rain in rainforest. We headed towards a waterfall and hanging bridge. The hike was good and waterfall was flowing with full force. Jai was sleeping and I was carrying him. Burned lot of calories. 

Ram and Jai loved running on hanging bridge.



Jais nap was done and he was ready rock the remaining hike. He did 
wonderful. 



Jai got many kisses from many people in the trip.

After the hike was best part. The guide took our group to hot springs where they have their spot. It was almost getting dark. We were in the natural hot tub. He lit many candles around and glass of mohito, it was out of the world experience. In the middle of rainforest in the dark in hot tub. He gave the mud mask too. Reached town around 9 And preferred to eat in lava rocks again.
It was a memorable day!!

Puerto Rico - Day 4

Today we woke up and directly went to beach walk. It was our breakfast our day, we went to a very fancy place on Isla Verde. Food was unique and tasty! Walk to castle through stunning old San Juan  Bobba is must! We got ready and headed to castle visits. Both the castles in old San Juan are along ocean, built by local Indian people and then taken over by Spanish people. They are huge and in good space. Views and structure is breathtaking! We booked an underwater walking tour ( introductory scuba) so we went there in the afternoon. I was scared in the beginning but did it later in second round. They give bread in your hand so lots of fishes come near you, it was amazing experience. The resort where it was located was very beautiful! We ended our day by exploring Condado area and eating Asian food! Again the food was great! Day 5 link http://ourweekendsdiary.blogspot.com/2023/02/puerto-rico-day-5.html

This is the story of our enchanting journey to Finnish Lapland, a land where the auroras dance and the spirit of adventure thrives. The Northern Lights: Nature’s Own Festivity Our odyssey began with a promise to witness the ethereal beauty of the  Northern Lights .
