Day 6 - Over the river and through the jungle to Dominical we go!

Kong

WE ARE HAVING CONNECTION PROBLEMS... We are all okay and having a wonderful time - Bear with us :)

It was easier to leave Villa Encantada today thanks to the morning rain clouds and rain, we all said good-bye to King Kong, the resident watch dog/trail guide/companion. We were delayed a little when a frog jumped into the car just when Dree opened the back door to get in.

Today was a day of uncharted travelling... by us anyway, thanks to our handy dandy GPS... we knew exactly where to go. The terrain changed from winding roads through the rainforest hills to straight aways through towns that we were sure to close our windows and lock the doors. We stopped at a bridge where many cars were pulled over and people were out of their cars looking over the edge... Alligators! They were huge and plentiful... good thing that we were 50 feet above them! We passed through palm plantations which included mini villages of tiny homes for the palm oil plantation workers. Upon our arrival to Dominical we picked up some groceries from a Supermercado... which really is a 20 x 20 room with 2 foot aisles with as much food as a store could possibly fit - all 8 of us made the workers a little nervous :) We found the next house in the afternoon rain - Villa Los Aires... a "hotel like" villa with guest rooms on the second floor, each with their own bathroom, open air lobby and views of the hillsides that words cannot explain. Until tomorrow when we explore the surf town of Dominical!
