We rented a little cabina in Tamarindo.
It was great! Had a kitchen, a little pool and provided surf boards & bikes! Just a short walk to the beach! Plus the owner lived on site and had a lovely dog and cat! The cat's name translated to Mooch! He certainly knew a sucker when he saw one. He basically moved in with us after I came back from the Automeracdo with Whiskas treats!
The sunsets were amazing!
We went kayaking in the tidal estuary, where we saw a huge crocodile, more monkeys and mangroves.
Spent a day out on a catameran, snorkelling and cruising! We went deep sea fishing one day too and caught some skipjack tuna. The boat captain came over that night and cooked our catch for us. That day was the highlight for Stuart!
We saw some of the traditional crafts of the country, like decorated ox-carts and beautiful pottery. I have a tiny version of this cart sitting on my dining room table now!
We had a rental for the whole trip so we toured around quite a bit. Driving in CR is an adventure! Not big on road maintenance and signage is non-existant, even our GPS was pretty much useless! I got really good at asking for directions in Spanish!
