11/3/19- our last days in El Castillo

It was quite an adventure getting here as Waze GPS recommended this route to save 30 mins but I have no idea how – as the route was vertically uphill and became a dirt track but then the road of 1km to our hotel when we got there was almost worst but view and accommodation made it all worth while! We had opted for 2 beds as was same price but ended up with a 2 bed 2 bathroom small house complete with kitchen lounge and dining room and 3 decking areas around the place with stunning views over Arsenal lake

Fortunately there’s a restaurant which cooks freshly to order and serves wine, beer and cocktails at very reasonable prices! I wouldn’t fancy driving up the dirt track late at night!!

Today after an early breakfast we set off in the car to go for a hike round Arenal volcano but it started pouring and clouds came down so wouldn’t have been able to see anything so stopped at Sky Adventures and booked the tramway and the Sky walk across the hanging bridges.

Has a lovely 4 mile walk to waterfalls as well and saw many animals including a whole troop of coyotes and raccoons.

Then persuaded Richard to do a zip line and superman line and latter was nearly a km long and so high up!A great adventure and very fast ride but great fun!
