Costa Rica day 4

Today was day 4 out of twelve (I think I might be counting wrong though...). Ok, so today we had to leave the beautiful tree canopy and the fastest way out was rafting. So we split into three different boats, suited up, grabbed a paddle and went down to the river. We had a lot of fun my mom (Karen), Linda, Brent and Johnny all fell off into the rapids, well except for uncle Brent who fell off in calm water, apparently. Our group (mom, dad, Simon, Elle, the guide, Emily and I) loved the rapids and my parents had a taste for danger so we took the rougher routes, we even went right over a giant rock that stuck right out of the water known as "Grandma's Revenge". Though in the calmer water we got to go swimming. Emily was very nice she was good with kids so we had a lot of fun with her (she ended up starting water fights among ourselves and the other boats!).

Eventually we had to leave and found out we got to go back to the zip-lining hotel for lunch (but we didn't get to zip-line). After lunch we walked to the airport and took a 30 minute trip to our next destination which being me I have gone and forgotten the name. From the airport we drove and hour to our bikes, biked for about half an hour (my parents kept going on bike for 26km) and then drove the rest of the way when they found out that it was all uphill an I mean a lot of uphill!!! We are going to be staying at this hotel for two days and it's extremely beautiful and huge.

(You need to take a 30minute bus just to drive around the property!) Anyway I just finished dinner and am sitting in bed about to go to sleep so well goodnight! =)
