LA FORTUNA – Alajuela, CRI

With today being the day of the Sabbath and all, I stayed in bed reading my book with no real intention of doing anything much at all and may have over-achieved in those endeavours.

Around lunchtime I ventured out into the brilliant sunshine and took a bit of a stroll around La Fortuna. With the worms definitely biting, I settled on Snapper’s House for a lunch consisting of a fried Calamari starter and the Blackened Snapper fillet. The feed was great with the starter being brilliant.

More of the same “slack attack” time in the afternoon, as a comfy bed and a great book was too great a temptation. Around 5 PM the heavens opened up which basically saw the town become deserted in short fashion.

As I hadn’t heard from any of the “Avocados” all day, for dinner I took a stroll out to Restaurante Cafe Mediterraneo as Trip Advisor rated in La Fortuna’s Top 10 restaurants. The best things I can say is the Imperial cerveza stubbies were ice cold and the bread rolls were interesting, which speaks volumes for what they served as a seafood marinara.

Bit of an early night tonight as we’re off to Monteverde, a major eco-tourism area about 4 hours drive from here.
