Day 48: La Casa del Arbor (Baños)

3/12/ 2017 Today we took a taxi up to La Casa del Arbor which means "The Tree House." It's a tree house that someone built up on the hill really close to Tungurahua (the volcano that is 8km south of Baños.) The weather was sort of cloudy, but it's been hit or miss. The "park" area had two zip lines, six rope swings, a balance log over a small pond, and a small restaurant. It was quite lovely, and all for $1/pp. The rope swing was my favorite part, and is what they're known for. The two main ones are attached to the tree house. The lines were a little long, but it was worth the wait. There was even a guy there that pushed everyone. The first time I went, he didn't hold back. I went flying through the air and he spun me around fearlessly. The next guy was a bit more tame though. He didn't push quite as high and was very cautious in spinning people. We were there for a while. People watching, swinging, and I even tried the zip line. After a...

Day 5: Rain, Rain, Go Away (Hideaway Caye)

Image
Today we woke up in the cabana to overcast skies and a rain shower. We wandered over to the restaurant to get our morning coffee. However, as we sat there, a squall came through. I quickly ran back to the cabana to close all the shutters! I was absolutely soaked by the time I got back to the restaurant. So to pass the time, Dustin, Ama, Brett, Barb and I all played some games. Well, actually, we played every game that they own. We played go fish with four of a kind, go fish with two of a kind, uno, chutes and ladders, close the box, and dominoes. The only one that we did not play was twister which Ama was pretty sad about. But once the rain stopped, Dustin, Barb, and I went out snorkeling again! Brett came too in the kayak as we snorkeled. It was still a little overcast, but it was lightening up and the rain had stopped. Dustin took us to a different reef this time, off of the opposite side of the same island as yesterday. This reef was so different though. The beach was sandy quite a...

Day 13: Placencia to San Ignacio

Today was not that exciting. I woke up at 6am to catch the 7am bus again. I went from San Ignacio through Dangriga and Belmopan. In Belmopan we stopped for a quick lunch to go, and I got a delicious burrito with beans, chicken, cheese, and cabbage! I loved having some fresh greens again. Five hours later, we were in San Ignacio by noon. That afternoon, I wanted to have a slow lazy day. I talked to people at my hostel about where to go and what to see. Went out to get some more lunch, plus groceries for dinner and breakfast. Analice and I also walked around to find some tour options and booked the ATM caves for Wednesday. The rest of the day was pretty relaxed. For dinner I made sautéed sausage with zucchini, yellow squash, onion, and potatoes. Then, I talked with my dad to try and figure out our Ecuador and Peru plans; which are finally coming together!
