Limon, Costa Rica...

Another night of swapping.

The first thing we saw arriving into port was this tiny island inhabited by a single house. This would be the perfect summer home.
We woke up early as you can tell when the ship starts to slow down and prepares to enter port. It had been raining shortly before we went outside to see what Costa Rica looked like.

We had requested to take an adventure ride through the tropical rain forest inside of a cable car. However, we didn't realize that it sells out immediately upon passengers arriving on the ship. We then decided to take a bike ride through the tropics.


We docked at a busy port unloading on the imports and exports. Of course, their biggest export would be bananas.
Someday, we need to get a bubble lens so we can get the whole ship in the shot.

In order to get to the tour bus to take us to the bikes, you had to go through a market place. Brooklyn decided to buy something to take back home. It didn't make it.

The Bike Tour...

The bus ride was two hours long. Every mile of the trip was green on the left side of the bus and green on the right side of the bus.
We arrived at a resort and picked our bikes. We were told that there were bikes for our young kids, but that wasn't true. We were worried that the kids would not be able to handle the adult bikes.

The tour started from the resort and winded down a tiny dirt road until we hit a paved road. The kids started to get a handle on the large bikes.
Even Greg was starting to enjoy the bike ride. The only bad part was the fact that there was 100% humidity.

The tour guide stopped us along the way as we saw a lot of wild animals in the jungle.
We finally arrived at the bottom of the trail which put us on the beach front. We were told we would have time to swim, but we were only given about five minutes which wasn't worth the work.

Although it was gloomy in the background, it never really rained on us during the trip.
Arriving back at the resort, we were treated to a small lunch. We were shocked at the accommodations at the resort. We picked up a brochure of the resort and it did not look anything like the actual place we were at. I think if we had seen the resort and came based upon the brochure, we would have been devastated.

Even through the blurred picture, you could see that the resort had cable systems running through the jungle and guests were allowed to slide down the cables and through the tropical trees.
The bus ride back was just as long and just as green. Greg wasn't feeling too good on this bus trip but the kids were still excited. In all, the tour was great.

Back on Board the Ship...


The kids felt that it was time to spend a night at Camp Carnival. Although we don't show a lot of Camp Carnival shots, the kids did spend a lot of time with the other kids.
Upon returning to our room, another towel animal.
