Puerto Viejo

Highlights:
- Playa Negra - beautiful black sand beach
- Having our own space in an Airbnb - our first one!
- Cahuita national park was beautiful to walk through, free (which makes a change for Costa Rica), and we saw our first sloth! We also saw monkeys, spiders, and a raccoon.
- Cycling to Playa Cocles and chilling out and swimming in the sea
- Meeting friends for drinks a few times
- Visiting the Jaguar Rescue Center and seeing rescued animals and and hearing about their work
- Seeing 12 (!) sloths in one day, including one that walked across a path, and a mother and baby pair, as well as seeing
howler monkeys, an iguana and a woodpecker

Lowlights:
- Renting bikes and Serena getting a puncture and Josh going over the handlebars (thankfully only cutting his leg!)

Food and drink:
- Carribbean chicken
- Fancy brunch including chocolate cake to finish
- Family dinner of moussaka at the hostel, cooked by a Greek man and it was delicious!
- Pattys, which were a bit like Cornish pastiesもっと詳しく
