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 Marisqueria Snapper’s House for a lunch consisting of a fried Calamari starter and the Blackened Snapper fillet. In all honesty, the feed was great with the starter being simply 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 it in La Fortuna’s Top 10 restaurants. The reality is that the best thing I can say is that 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 at sparrows fart and supposedly the place a major eco-tourism area about 4 hours drive from here.
