After Kat woke up I took her back to the Bakery Cafe where we ate breakfast. We didn't see any monkeys - I guess they were tired from all their previous monkey business.
After breakfast we decided to check out the Montezuma Waterfall. We walked over to the trail head and followed the path - it was somewhat well market with red arrows painted on trees and rock showing the way. It was a bit treacherous in places but we finally made it after about 20 minutes and were rewarded with a a spectacular 15meter high waterfall with a good swimming hole and plenty of other people enjoying the water.
We hang out at the waterfall for about an hour and then did the hike back. Once back on the road we went to out hotel to take a dip in the pool and clean up. Next we walked to La Playa de los Artistas for lunch. We ate dinner there on our first trip to Costa Rica and were eagerly awaiting going back. Kat had the river lobster ($20) and I had the Chili Relleno ($9) along with beers
The restaurant is really nice - right on the beach with a sand floor - even the bathroom was "beachy"
We thought the food was pretty good but it was more expensive than on our last visit. We took a walk back along the beach into town and decided that we needed a few beers so we stopped at the Hotel Mocezuma and met a few of the town's characters while there including "Casi Perfecto" the self proclaimed universal cribbage champion and fixer of all problems. We also met one of the two town's tattoo artists and another guy visiting from NYC.
We had a good and inexpensive dinner at Cafe Naranjo ($15 for the both of us). I had the steak and Kat had the arroz con pollo.
After dinner we went back to Chicos for a nightcap or two and then to bed at about 11pm - tomorrow were were headed to Mal Pais
