What you have been waiting for!!!

Emily got to use her new boogie board yesterday! The sea was rough!! Waves were tall and rolling in fast! As she mentioned our first location we were waved off due to riptides. They will pull you out to sea and it can be a long swim back. We moved to where there were lifeguards watching, not sure from where though as I did not see one. They did have a red flag up though. The area we went to was in front of the restaurant we had our first meal at after arriving. Green flag is the best but the lady that waved us off said yellow wasn’t bad if where lifeguards were.

We got to do some snorkeling the last couple days. The pictures are from both days. I used Emily’s Kodak Pixpro camera rated for 15m/50 ft underwater. I’m not a fan. It wasn’t hard to use but the quality isn’t great. The ability to zoom is a nice option but the zoomed pictures didn’t turn out well, it’s easier to blow up pictures from the gopro, I think they are less grainy.

The water quality here is better than on the pacific coast. There is still sediment in the water but overall it isn’t as dark or as cloudy. There is also a lot more greenery close to shore on the Caribbean coast.

Some shots of the Caribe Town Hotel. It’s not a bad place to stay. Location isn’t bad, no crazy partying going on here. I would like a better pool and maybe a little warmer. It’s nice to have the pool option after being in the ocean, there’s no bobbing or fighting waves. It’s nice to relax and swim sometimes without all that action! This pool is a salt water pool so no chlorine. It’s not as salty as the ocean. There is a nice area for yoga and boxing. I didn’t see anything for resistance training but I brought my own bands. I did a workout with them yesterday and they worked well.

I had a delay due to needing to charge the camera to get the pictures off of it.

We are getting ready to take our scooter out and about. We need some Costa Rican money and we need to find gas for our scooter. It’s only down to half a tank with all our riding but we still have to return it with a full tank!

Hope everyone is doing well!
