Another sweaty but happy yoga practice on Saturday morning. Another delicious breakfast. And then we were off. Although it was only about 18 miles to our destination as the crow flies, we’re no crows. That meant we had to drive 65 miles around Lake Arenal, the largest lake in Costa Rica. Tony drove for the whole twisty, turny, steep hilly, muddy, potholey, narrow bridge-y, rather scary but beautiful three-hour journey. He was pretty tense when we finally arrived.
Fortunately, when we pulled into the parking lot at Hidden Canopy Treehouses Boutique Hotel in the early afternoon, Jenn, the owner, welcomed Tony and me with a diet Coke and a beer. She gave us the run-down and showed us to our treehouse. We returned to the lodge for tea time, but then we were too pooped to head out to dinner, so we crashed early, ready for a full day of cloud forest exploration tomorrow.
