We started the morning with another canopy zipline tour. The lines weren't as long or as high but we did see a lot more of the rainforest including a band of coati in the trees.
Afterwards we took a couple of runs down the 400 meter waterslide. I even wore the leather "diaper" to protect my swimsuit as the track is sealed concrete and rough. It was so much fun that Sid and I went back to do it again. Which was perfect as a troop of monkeys was moving through the treetops on the second round. Most our group did not get to see them.
Next we had another traditional lunch buffet: squash soup, salad, fried plantains, rice, beans, fried sea bass, beef, egg plant, pork and yucca. At lunch and dinner the rice and black beans are seperate but at breakfast they are cooked together with jalapenos and cilantro; the breakfast version in called "pintas".
Then we went by tractor to the open air Hot Springs and mud bath. You smear yourself with volcanic mud and let it dry. Then wash it off in the "refreshing" stream fed showers before going to soak in the hot pools. We rode back from the springs on horses.
We were pretty well beat by the time we returned to the hotel but managed to get showers before heading to the beach for some sunset pictures.
Dinner was quick as we really were almost too tired to chew. Pork tacos (roasted in pineapple juice) were the specialty tonight.
