    Hike 2

    March 1, 2018 in Costa Rica ⋅ 🌙 27 °C

    This is hike 2 from yesterday. It was a 6 km hike.We climbed up Arenal as far as we were legally allowed up to old lava road from the last erruption which was 2010 I think. There were a lot more people that joined us for the afternoon hike. On our morning hike we had fellow Canadians from Nova Scotia and Quebec as well as a Dutch couple and a group from France.

    Tracy brought an extra pair of hiking poles for me, of which I was very grateful. This hike alternated between up and down and was muddy in some parts. Our guide Julio had a rule that if anyone fell they had to buy him a beer when we got to the hot springs. Luckily I did not fall but I still bought him a beer.

    Julio promised us dessert. Dessert was a termite. Seriously I ate a termite. It was very small and did not taste like much.

    We stopped at a lagoon midpoint and some people went swimming.
