Our hotel room was amazing. We have a terrace that overlooks the Arenal Volcano, and from the pool and jacuzzi, we also had a fantastic view of the volcano. It was quite awesome, sat in the jacuzzi, sipping our tequila sunrises whilst we experienced this truly unique experience. We spent the morning sunning ourselves (probably over sunning ourselves) before we were taken on a hiking tour around the lava trail of when the volcano erupted in 1969. It was quite a hike up hill (I really hate uphills), in the heat of the day. We had an impressive view of the Arenal lake from the top, an 88 square mile lake at the foot of the volcano. In the evening we went to some hot springs, which are kept hot by the volcano, the temperature was a tad on the hot side, and with Dean and I both looking a little lobster like, we felt like we were being cooked! This was then followed by our best meal yet in Costa Rica, a Spanish buffet. We both returned to our hotel feeling rather satiated. We left the Arenal area this morning via boat, and a very bumpy bus ride to Monteverde where tomorrow we will explore the Cloud Forest.
