Sunday the 30th of August

Sunday we woke up, packed up and went to breakfast. After breakfast we went to the snorkeling booth to go on our trip. We found out for 5 dollars more they would take us to our ferry and then we would have more time and wouldn’t have to go back to Montezuma. We paid, and then got on the boat to go snorkeling. The boat fit about 10 people comfortably and had a huge motor on the back. We zoomed through the water like it was butter and got to see the beaches we had previously walked to get to the waterfall the night before. It was so beautiful to see all of the beaches and islands from the boat. We went past an island that looked like the shape of a turtle and then another island that had an arch that looked like a rainbow. We were almost to our destination when our driver stopped the boat without warning. We had no idea what was going on but then saw what the guide was pointing at. It was a huge sea turtle that was swimming at the surface of the water. It was so big and it reminded me of Finding Nemo. Before we could reach for our cameras the surfing turtle from Finding Nemo dove below the surface and out of our site. We finally arrived to the rock that we were going to go snorkeling at and got ready to jump in. Before we jumped in the tour guide threw in some food and hundreds of colorful fish came up to the surface. We got all our gear on and jumped in! It was so amazing! The water was so clear and there were so many fish to look at. We swam for 45min, diving down to try to touch the different schools of fish. It was hard to say under for long because the pressure hurt my ears. After snorkeling we went to a beautiful beach, were out lunch was waiting for us. We had fish and chicken with a huge platter of different fruits to choose from. We ate and then went swimming. Pete and I found a cliff and jumped of it a few times until we saw Eleanor waving at us from the shore. We swam in to see what was going on. She told us that Ashley had caught a wild boar and we should come check it out but I didn’t believe her one bit. Sure enough when we got there, Ashley was petting this young boar that was spread out, sleeping below her feet. We found out that the Boar was a pet and lived on the island and loved people. After being messaged for a while, the Boar got up and walked to the cooks who gave her lettuce for lunch. We saw that it was time to go and boarded the boat once more. This time the water was a lot rougher and the waves were like jumps that made the boat splash which got us soaked. We arrived at the ferry just in time to get tickets and get seats. It left shortly after and we on our way home. After the ferry, we looked for the coach bus that was going to San Jose, but couldn’t find it. We went to the only bus that was at the ferry parking lot and asked where our bus was. The driver told us this was the bus. We didn’t have to pay hardly anything and it didn’t make sense because the ride to Montezuma cost 12 dollars but this only cost 50 cents. Something didn’t feel right and we decided to talk to the people on the bus to see what the deal was. An old man told us that this wasn’t the bus that would take us to San Jose but it would take us to the bus station. We also talked to some Italian men who said they would tell us when to get off. We went through about 5 stops and then the men told us it was the next stop. Our stop came and we got off. We looked around but there was no bus station to be found. We asked a local where it was and she told us we were about 5 blocks off. We had about 20min before the bus was going to leave so we walked for about ten blocks until we finally found the station. We bought the tickets and got on the bus just in time. We were on the bus for about 4 to 5 hours and finally got home.
