We woke just before our alarm at 6, and got up to get ready for a day in the national park. As Manja had a quick shower, I prepared Avocado on toast with scrambled eggs. I also tried the provided coffee, and it was so seriously bad that I actually poured it away. As we were about to sit down to enjoy our meal, we had a Monkey jump onto the balcony and make angry faces. He really wanted some too! Turns out the Monkeys came to visit the entire apartment complex this morning!
Fueled up for the day we headed out to catch the bus to Manuel Antonio National Park. This is the national park which is recommended in all of the travel guides, and we got there at opening time. We spent the next few hours at the park walking every trail and checking out every beach. We even had a pre-packed lunch on the main beach!
We took a plethora of pictures, here is an edited set:
The park was nice, but in my opinion not the best I have been to. Although my close encounter with the deer kind right at the end was really special, I personally preferred Carrera. None the less, the chances of seeing a lot of wildlife are, of course, greater in the bigger park. We returned exhausted around 4PM, had a shower and a short break before heading out to “Falafel” for dinner. This dinner was a real highlight, I mean I love Falafel, and these were awesome and home-made.
