Costa Rica Part IV

Tuesday was a double activity day! In the morning we went sailing and snorkeling and in the evening we went on an ATV tour where we ended up at a private beach. We were all prepared, we had our 100 SPF sun block, our waterproof camera case, our waterproof pouch, tennis shoes and sandals and much more for a full packed day.

We sailed to Eggs Beach on the Kuna Vela Sail Boat. It was the most relaxing thing ever! I could sail everyday if I had a boat, if I knew how, and if I didn't have a job haha! It took us about an hour to get there and at first I was really scared to jump off the boat and swim in the middle of the ocean and snorkel. Fortunately the had flippers my size and noodles for all the girls since we were all scared to jump in the ocean.

Jonathan was in the ocean for a long time - maybe two hours - and because he didn't reapply sun block, by the time we were back in land we has SUN BURNED.

Our ATV tour guide was 2 hours late (which sucked) but the tour was so incredible, we almost forgot about it! We went through mountains, creeks, and very tight spaces. We even ran into a heard of cows, but we just honked at them and they knew to move to the side! It was so comical! There were times that we would go so fast that you couldn't see anything from the dirt that the ATV in front of you would pick up. The views were incredible, unfortunately it was hard to keep up with the dirt in your eyes and the turns to try to take pictures of the scenes. This was definitely one of my favorite activities because you were able to see secret spots and the true beauty of the tropics. By the time we arrived to the beach, Jonathan and I couldn't stop laughing at our faces and how dirty we were. When we arrived back at our hotel we jumped into our pool first.
