Monteverde

Highlights:
- An easier than expected crossing (4 buses rather than 5, and not too long at immigration!)
- Monteverde cloud forest hike was beautiful - saw birds, a tarantula, insects, and a capuchin monkey (although sadly no sloth!)
- Ziplining through the forest - expensive but worth it, especially with the superman zipline where you feel like you're flying, and the Tarzan swing at the end which was incredibly scary but so fun
- Watching the sunset from a spot on the hill

Lowlights:
- Having to wait an hour to get into the cloud forest as it was at capacity - although we killed the time watching hummingbirds at the feeders and grabbing a snack so not all bad!

Food and drink:
- Having to cook dinners to save some money, but we enjoyed the pasta and veggies!
- Eating lunch at Sodas, which are family run restaurants which offer cheaper meals - really nice food and very filling
- Serena was craving horchata from Mexico and found a packet mix at the supermarket - not as good as the real thing but still great
- Traditional cake called tamal which was made from corn flour and coconutBaca lagi
