The planning, the spending (oh, the spending), the to-do list making, the DIY-ing, the phone calling, the worrying... All done.
And, while I wait for the CD of pictures to arrive from the photographer so I can post some recaps, why not share a bit about our honeymoon?
Why not indeed?
So, right after the wedding, we packed up our cars and headed home. We unloaded everything from DH's car and left mine in the garage. Then, we drove to the airport to spend the night in a hotel there...
Why? Because our flight to San Jose was at the butt crack of morning. (Note: think twice before scheduling a super early flight the day after your wedding... You will be exhausted.)
Two flights later, we arrived in San Jose, got a shuttle to the car rental place (none of them are in the actual airport) and waited for our car. After driving off the lot, the real adventure started. The drivers in San Jose, in one word, are CRAZY. Its like there are no rules and there are definitely few street signs. Thank goodness for GPS.
Finally, out of the city, we started to see the beauty of the country. (All pics are personal.)
Green Season = Lush Mountains
First view of the Pacific
Palm Groves
About four hours later, starving and tired, we arrived at TikiVillas Rainforest Lodge. We were warmly welcomed by Thomas and shown to our room. It was awesome.
The Main House - A great place for Breakfast or Drinks
One of the Bungalows
Our Super Comfortable Bed
Seats on the Balcony (spent a lot of time in these)
Coffee every morning, overlooking the rainforest
Sunset from our balcony
A Sloth, hanging out by the pool
It was one of the most amazing places I've ever stayed. It was the perfect place to come back to every day after our excursions, while the rain poured down and we planned the next days adventures.
Next up: a boat tour of the Sierpe River and lots (and lots) of monkeys!
Looks amazing! Can't wait to see and hear about the wedding :)
