During the morning of day 3 I wandered the grounds of the hotel a bit and walked along the beach. I found sea weed for my project and two poison dart frogs. After breakfast, we took a ride to limon, a neighboring port town. we received a lecture on imports and exports of Costa Rica and got a tour of the facilities, which were interesting but also hot. We wandered the town a bit, got lunch at a fast food place, and bought souvenirs. Then it was our 6 hour bus ride to get from the coast to the central valley. I had a lot of fun. I read books, listened to books, got a whole bunch of food from a convenience store and shared it around. Costa Rica is a really pretty country and its a lot of fun to see it by bus. We eventually stopped for dinner and bathing at the baldi hot springs! The dinner, when we walked in, was a buffet with a whole bunch of food and waiters but no patrons at all! It was kinda creepy actually. The food was OK, a little fly ridden, and as we ate the dinning room filled up, so I felt better in that regards. But the springs themselves where the main act and I was excited to get on with it.
The springs were elaborate! There were a whole bunch of tiers of pools with different levels of heat. One was about bath temperature, the one above it more like a hkt tub. One had water so hot I couldn't put more than my feet in, but it had a sauna hidden away that was really cool to hang out in. The springs were designed in a Vegas manner with swim up bars and pulsating changing color lights on everything. It was a little too processed, but it was so much fun to explore. I had a blast!
All too soon it was time to head out. We froveto our next hotel at 10 or so and checked in. The hotel was filled with topiaries, it was kind of cool. But I went to bed pretty quickly after we arrived and I got a shower.
