New day new luck!
The last night was pretty rough. After my dinner I felt very sick and when I was in bed I felt even worse. I spend the night standing up and throwing up several times until 4.30 a.m.. If the next morning wouldn’t have woken me up with the most beautiful weather I probably couldn’t have got up that easily - I still felt a horrible stomach ache. But still after spending nearly the entire week in the hostel I really felt like going to see some other place - Even if the beach in front of or hostel is incredible. I would say simply the place to be! Together with Aina - a workaway from Spain - I went to the farmacy to get all the medicine I could get just in case to get better. We left early with two other guys from the hostel to go to the Cahuita Beach. It’s like twenty-five minutes bus ride from Puerto Viejo and it took me the whole bus ride to eat an apple - I simply had no appetite and no energy left. I just thought we would stay the whole day at beach and just doing nothing. However, when we got there the others were telling me that there was actually a National Park in Cahuita that included some parts of the ocean side. As I still did not know what expected me I said I would come with them. Actually, it turned out to be a 10 kilometers hike. I don’t know how I did it in the end but somehow I made it all the way like a zombie through the whole park. Still it was simply awesome and astonishing. Costa Rica has a incredible biodiversity: We saw a lot of sloths, monkeys, crabs,…It was simply amazing to walk in the jungle-like forest but still seeing the sea side right beside us. The path sometimes gives chances to quit the track and enjoy one of the very tranquil beaches - until the monkeys get your food. So better watch out! We had to cross to rivers - twice. After we had already passed them, they told us on the way back that they saw a crocodile in one of the rivers the other day. Luckily, it stood away this day! As we got nearly back to the entry we saw a sloth laying on the floor. First we took photos and thought how cute he looked but then another men told us that he probably fell from a tree - like from 5 meters height. As he seemed injured we called a park guard. When we got back to the hostel I just enjoyed the live music but there was no partying for me tonight. I just ate my soup and that’s it - still on recovery..
