Bird watching early in the cloud forest, then biking to la fortuna
Missed the evening frog walk. Nature walk, very early, many birds, interesting cloud forest ecology, plants, many hummingbirds. Leaf cutter colony. Size of a car.
Hotel room in the cloud forest never dries out The dehumidifier has to be emptied frequently.
Ride. A very hot day, very. Pineapples and watermelon road stops essential. Lots of water. Lunch mostly a tourist affair. Ride through scenic agricultural areas.
La fortuna,a tourist town, filled with stores selling rafting, zip line, canopy, on and on. Reminds of Queenstown with a lot of heat. One long marketing and souvenir street.
Volcano is view my room in this five star hotel. Will eventually bike down from there, but not up.
Saw a troupe of these passing my hotel window. Pizote.
Messed up the blog! Bill park properly pointed out that the cross posting was not working. I checked and it was my fault as I forgot to put the correct link on the Google Plus blog. That is the official blog at boogs.net does not show the earlier postings from this trip I will fix that starting with this post.

The thermal spa is quite an affair. Twelve different areas at different temperatures. None sufficiently hot. All beautifully landscaped. Clear non sulfurous geothermal water.
