Well we made it to the cave. It was quite the hike but everyone did an amazing job. We stopped half way and were able to eat some of the banana from a nearby tree and then made our way on to the cave with a minor banana fight between some of us.
At this present moment all the kids are getting the lecture of the do's and do not's of staying in the cave for the night. We are sitting behind a beautiful waterfall which we are actually about to rappel.
Before we made the hike we were able to visit the Pacific Ocean which is about 30 minutes from where we started to hike so we got up around 6am and made the trip out of last nights camp site and then played in the sand for 30 minutes. We also saw our first howler monkeys which is one of the 4 different species of howler monkeys in Costa Rica. We are having a great time and everyone seems to be enjoying themselves.
Thanks for keeping us updated. We are enjoying the videos and blog, especially since we are traveling in the north with 20 degree weather. Stay safe, have fun and eat some bananas for us.
