Sunday, 4 October 2009 - Corcovado National Park, Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica
A 6 am breakfast for reasons unclear gave us ample time to prepare for the ever popular wet Zodiac landing on a beach to access the tropical rainforest national park in a huge, really huge, conservation area. We were offered either a short easy hike, a longer moderate hike, or not quite as long "let's cut this very wet, slippery, dangerous, steep, and scary longer moderate hike short" hike. We chose option three and had a wonderful time. Nobody got hurt, but some people got very muddy. Of course, it's a rain forest for heaven's sake. (That's a bat in the leaf, by the way.)
We safely returned to the ship at noon and watched a baby and two adult orca's frolic and squirt. We have just anchored off a coral reef where "the drifting Zodiac" (clearly the name of a pub in South London) will provide a platform for the snorkelers. We have chosen the margarita option.
