Dropped off at camp
Today is the girls travel day back home! This felt way too quick but packed with awesome experiences. I am going to miss having them with me. Okay so overview of the day:
Packed up - everything is damp, I am so excited for aircon to try my stuff out
I drove to the Mini Super for some orange juice and snacks because the travel stomach has finally hit me, no bueno, I am down bad in the toilet department
We went back to Simu for a last breakfast because the food was so good last night, I got a gluten free brownie because the idea of eggs right now made my stomach gurgle harder than it already is
Said bye to Matt and Abby :(
I drove us to Manuel Antonio, I will miss driving here, its a tad sketchy but the roads are fun and scenic
At the Selina the girls helped me bring my bags in and we said our goodbyes, it felt shockingly similar to how I imagine being dropped off at summer camp feels like, I am a little nervous, excited to try solo travel, not sure what to do first, etc
Check in is not until 3pm but its only 12:30 so I put my backs in their storage and posted up in the restaurant with my laptop after taking a tour around the hostel, this Selina is the largest in Costa Rica and has 3 pools!
Once it was check in time, I showered, chilled a bit then got ready for welcome drinks
Welcome drinks were fun, I met 2 girls from Quebec who were actually at the La Fortuna at the same time as us, and a guy who works for the CFL from Halifax
After I took myself to dinner at a cafe close by that I found online has a lot of Gluten free options. I asked the girls at the welcome drinks if they ate already but they are going to cook dinner since they already got groceries
I thought I better also get some groceries for my work day tomorrow so I went on the way home from dinner and got some basics for the week and snacks
