Costa Rica day 2

Day 2! Ok so today we woke up to a downpour. we went down to breakfast (I was late) and then took the shuttle to the Rainmaker Rain Forest were we trekked around looking at animals, bugs, lizards like the "Oh my gosh lizard" (actually its name), iguanas, another lizard that I forgot the name of and plants endangered and not (we got to eat a few and one tasted like mango).Since it had rained resently the terrain was mudding and slippery so we all got walking sticks.
They started out by showing us the tree they use to make Chanel #5 and then we entered the rain forest. After exploring on foot we took to the trees on rope bridgesthat stretched from tree to tree getting a birds eye view of the jungle below. Finally we ended up following a riverto the end, stopping at a few waterfalls along the way. After lunch we all got into the shuttle and went zip-ligning. We all got suitted upand then headed down to the first platform.There were 12 cables ranging from small, medium and long. So we climbed into the trees and then went over a few valleys as we zipped around from tree to tree. We did that for about two hours until we reached the last one and had to go though we all agreed it was the best part of our day.

Later that night the adults, Hannah and I went out for dinner,while everyone else stayed back at the hotel to watch movies, eat and by the end of the night they somehow managed to break the elevator. Oh and by the way here is a picture of the hotel.
