Day 14

Day 14
It is safe to say that yesterday was one of the least fun days in CR and today was one of the most!!! Dare I say the best? We woke up and took a cab to The Springs Resort & Spa. It was recent host to The Bachelor. It might be the best place on Earth. 

MK, Susan and Liz were scheduled to zip line at 2 but upon arriving to The Springs, they immediately starting working on changing their zip line adventure to tomorrow. We asked our cab to come back for them at 1:30 so they could make their appointment. The front desk called the number from his card and told him we would no longer be needing him. We explore the springs perdidos (the lost springs) and all the other springs on the property - there were tons raging from all different depths and temperatures. 







We had one 15 minute downpour today while we were in the springs but it was incredible to be in the warm water with the cool Costa Rican rain coming down. Finally the clouds parted and we had sunshine for the rest of the afternoon and could even see to the top of the volcano. While we were heading up to lunch, we run into our cab driver. Uhh..What? He said he was there to pick us up. Liz and I in our most forceful and angry Spanish tell him that the hotel called the number from his card and said we wouldn't need a ride 5 minutes after he dropped us off. 5 minutes of very uncomfortable Spanish exchanges (him telling us that we must have called the wrong number, and that we should pay him anyways). Finally, I yelled "pura vida, no pasa nada" as we all shimmied into the Dama's bathroom. 








We spent the rest of the afternoon lounging in the various springs, sauna and swim-up pool bar. We went to a delicious sushi dinner at the resort before hopping in a cab and heading home. Tomorrow we head to the Baldi Springs Resort & the girls are going zip-lining in the longest, highest, (prob scariest) zip line in Costa Rica. Wish them luck!!




Today was great. No way to really describe, just be jealous of the pictures. I love Costa Rica!!
