Off to Playa Cativo
One last walkies at Drake Bay before we left and I finally got a photo of the gorgeous scarlet macaws
The pelicans were in formation heading south for their sardine breakfast
After our breakfast we were picked up in a 4x4 taxi for our bumpfest drive across the Osa peninsular to Puerto Jiminez, mildly disconcerting to see the machete by the driver’s seat.
We had several river crossings, a change of driver and then a change of car and another driver when we got to the paved road, not exactly like a London Uber journey!
We then went across the Golfo Dulce and saw a big pod of spotted dolphins - amazingly I actually got them in the photo!
Playa Cativa hotel is tucked up against the Piedras Blancas National Park and can only be reached by boat
It is all rather luxurious and the guests seem to be predominantly posh Brits - we will try not to disgrace ourselves (given the price of the drinks I suspect we will be mostly sober!)
I will be doing yoga at 7am in this rather fabulous spot
But my usual morning walkies might be a little less relaxing...
Happy hour cocktails are 2 for 1 so we splashed out on two Caipirinhas in the sunset bar

A boat was waiting for us at the port (more of a pier really)
