Day 7: My favourite part of any vacation.. rent a car and explore! We rented a car for a couple of days and in the morning we headed to Palo Varde National Park. We were given some Costa Rican money by Tracy's mum, so this trip to the park was pretty much covered by her... Thank you!

So far, I love it here.. very beautiful and people are very friendly!

This is the coolest bird I have ever seen... if you know the name, comment below and let me know what it is!

Original plan was to go and get a boat at the park for some wild life viewing but we are here off season and the boats were not there :( We still had fun! We went on this little trail with a beautiful view at the top :)

Crazy amount of mosquitoes!!!!

Look at this big guy on a tree... this thing was huge!

We got our rented car proper dirty!

I can't complain about our little Toyota but I would rather drive one of these Land Rovers :)

Some of the roads here are very bumpy... rocks and mud... driving in the dark and with rain din't really help... but it was super fun!

My sister and her baby Lucas were voted out of our group for tomorrow because they were crying too much and we are going on another adventure without them, so comeback tomorrow for some more photos :)
