Saturday, 3 October 2009 - Casa Oquideas, Golfo Dulce, Costa Rica
A couple from New Hampshire started the Casa Oquideas 25 years ago. They located it on the magnificent Golfo Dulce on the Pacific Coast of Southern Costa Rica. The Prince Albert II carefully navigated to the site and immediately made a 180 to go to the place 8 miles away that the couple moved to a few years later. The Captain didn't make any more announcements about our location for the rest of the day.
As garden has no boat landing we made a "wet landing" in the Zodiac. The reef walker shoes became our very soggy hiking shoes as the Casa Oquideas site is many hectares (equaling many more acres in a quirk of science). I took pictures of lots of, uh, flowers and stuff.
We had dinner with the Staff Captain, a delightful Ukrainian who speaks a few English words very well. The Puilly Fume went well with the Swordfish with capers.
