Manuel Antonio National Park


Who were the idiot girls who had spent the last 2 weeks living on pure adrenaline and minimal sleep then opted for a 7.30am pick up on day 1 of the relaxing part of the holiday? US.

And those same girls managed to sleep through several alarms and wake up at 7.28am. serious fail.

We threw on the first items of clothing we could find, then Laura ran up to reception to find our tour guide and ask him very nicely to wait 10minutes, while Andi threw some things into a bag and we made a dash to the restaurant to grab breakfast to eat in the car on the way to the park. Luckily Freddy (tour guide) was lovely and found it hilarious as he had slept in also.

** sidebar: everyone in Costa Rica is called Freddy **

We arrived at the park and met up with another couple who would be joining us on our hike and set off on our animal adventure!

We saw so many cute animals!! Deer, hummingbirds, Bats, turtles, crabs, spiders, iguanas, and of course SLOTHS! Two toed and three toed. So. Cute.














The hike took us down to the best beach on the island, but it was so hot we took a couple of photos and hid in the shade for a drink before we headed off on our return loop.







Freddy dropped us off back at our hotel and we crashed. Very little sleep lead us both to spend the rest of the afternoon napping and googling/facebooking because WE LOCATED THE HOTEL WIFI. Hashtag thirdworldproblems.

In between sleeping and googling we ate some dinner and watched whatever we could find on tv that was in English and then went to sleep again for the night.
