Volcano Arenal, ziplining and hot springs! Fun weekend!

Hello All!

This weekend I had a great time! Once again I went out with a group of my friends to see and experience what Costa Rica has to offer! The bus ride was long, but once we made it the fun soon began! We almost immediately went to the hot springs. I was quite surprised by what I experienced there. Honestly I thought that the hot springs would be more natural, but we went to a resort that had 25 pools of different temperatures. Don't get me wrong, it was beautiful, just different from what I had pictured in my head. We went back later that night as well. This place also had slides! They were so much fun! They also had a buffet style dinner for us! They treated us well!

After our first visit to the hot springs, we went on a tour to see Volcano Arenal. We were lucky because we got to see and hear the volcano explode. We also went on a hike through the forest and was taken to a waterfall! It was very pretty. The tour guide also showed us ways to survive in the forest. He taught us that termites taste like carrots, special leaves can be used as bug repelant and something else, but I can't remember right now!

The most memorable thing from this weekend though is definitely the ziplining!! There were 12 ziplines to go down and one Tarazan swing! I got some good videos of it, I would put it up, but it takes too long!

I am too tired to write more, but I will resume later!

Bye!
