Day 14 - Drive to Manuel Antonio

After waking up we showered and got packed. Walked over to Carolina's for a good breakfast and then back to the hotel to say goodbye to Debbie. Unfortunately Pablo was still asleep so we couldn't say goodbye to him but we have his email so we can stay in touch. We were on the road at 9:30am and arrived in Quepos at 2pm. After filling up the car we drove to La Colina where we had stayed on our 2005 trip. After getting settled in our room was went out in search of finding a place to drink some beers and eat lunch. We drove into Manuel Antonio village where we saw people in "official" looking parking uniforms trying to direct people into free parking spaces on the street and then charging them to park there. We ignored them and kept on driving finding plenty of free parking further down the road. We walked around for a bit getting tired of people hassling us to buy crappy souvenirs or trying to be too "helpful". We got back in the car are drove to El Avion where we had some really cold beer served in frozen mugs along with some good, but expensive, nachos.

We went back to the hotel and went to the bar area but the pool for a few beers. While there I met a guy from Canada who had been living in Manuel Antonio for 2 years but had never traveled anywhere else in Costa Rica! We were getting hungry so we ordered some sandwiches from the hotel restaurant which were good but only came with a few frech fries. We were still hungry so we took a drive into Quepos where i got some friend chicken and Kat got an ice cream before heading back to the hotel to watch some TV in our room before gonig to sleep.
