Thursday 8 November, leaving the wilderness for La Fortuna

An anteater in the rocky road
We enjoyed our last breakfast at Pedacito de Cielo, and then checked out. It was pouring with rain, and the road condition hadn't improved. We did see an anteater in the road as well as some cows, but a dangerous bridge was being replaced as we drove along. Once past Pital, the road improved but not the weather. La Fortuna looks like an interesting town. Our new hotel, Lomas del Volcan, should have a view of the Arenal volcano, but it's very misty now.

Nice room, nice garden, rather off-hand service. We had lunch and watched CNN, then tried WiFi. We will eat here tonight and plan what to do tomorrow.
