BSCR Tortuguero national park
Wednesday 28 Jan.
Tropical forest rain in big bursts.

Morning pandiculating.

Early flight and boat ride to this very remote and protected Caribbean island. Nearest road ends 32 km away. No direct land access.

Fellow travelers are very well traveled. Egypt,India,Thailand, Vietnam, etc.etc.

Tropical rainforest hotel with lovely grounds, nature trails and guided activities.

First gallo pinto, rice, beans, chicken breakfast.

A walk interrupted. Seemed like a good idea, walk one of the many trails in the tropical forest. Seemed good so I put on a pair of wellies, provided, high ones, but not high enough. Trail water deep to above the knees.

After lunch, nice light black bean soup, salad, coconut flan walked to the village, about 90 minutes, wandered and took the boat back as it is a planned trip to go there tomorrow. My limited Spanish came in handy for finding a return boat.

Dinner. Rondon, a classic Caribbean soup, fish, chicken, potato, yucca in a very light coconut broth. Other than like little noticeable spicing. Local red snapper and tres leches for dessert.
