crocodile farm,
hot springs, water slides, and wonderfully beautiful grounds.
Unfortunately it rained all weekend and we never even saw the volcano because it was so cloudy. But I enjoyed the time to relax and experience all the resort had to offer. I went for a run in the rain, spent time unwinding in the hot springs and got an adrenaline rush from the water slides - they were REALLY fast! We also went into the town every day for lunch and window shopping, and ate well at the included breakfast and dinner buffet.
On Sunday, we all went to La Fortuna waterfall, a 230 foot torrent of pounding water.
The hike down (and thus also the hike back up!) was steep, but the scenery was beautiful. And it was easy to see why all the rain was necessary!
The water falls so fast and hard that if you went directly under the stream it would crush you and the waves and currents were so big that you couldn't swim too close, but we tried anyway.
Also, there was another, smaller waterfall about a hundred yards away that you could actually stand under.
It was amazing to be underneath it and look up at the water falling down on you from so high. I couldn't get enough and didn't leave the water until we had to go back to the bus. We all piled in for a very wet ride back to San José.
