In Puerto Limon we were at anchor, not alongside (ie. Tied
up to a pier) so the only way to get ashore was by tender. Of course this is more complicated then
simply walking off the gangway, tenders run at specific times (usually around
9:00, after cleaning is done, midday and then around 6:00) so getting ashore
becomes more of a logistical challenge.
I only got ashore once, for a bit more then 7 hours.
I didn’t spend much time in Puerto Limon, apparently not the
greatest place to spend your limited time in Costa Rica. After a quick wifi session in town I caught a
bus with a bunch of crewmates to go to Cahuita.
Some of them had been a day or two earlier which was handy as they knew
where and when to catch the bus so I just followed along.
First order of business was finding a place to have
lunch. The restaurant we chose served a
lot of local food so most of us ended up with beans and rice in some form or
other. After lunch we headed to the
beach which is part of a National Park.
More beautiful Caribbean sand and sea!
The beach was right next to a (rain?) forest where we saw
monkeys and raccoons. I was pretty
excited to see wild monkeys for the first time! The raccoons back home in their
looks and boldness.
After a quick swim at the beach we headed back into town for
ice cream, I got some postcards sent and then caught the bus back in time to
make the earliest tender for dinner prep.
