Greetings from a gloomy Sunday afternoon in Puerto Jiminez.
We just got in a while ago from Carate, nursing Elsie along but she is doing actually quite well with only a few more things to do on her her tomorrow before we head to Golfito and then onto Panama.
This side of the Osa Peninsula is also so incredibly beautiful and the forests tall and dark in places that even the GPS goes into night mode and loses sat. contact from time to time.
on Saturday very morning we were awoken by a cacophony of sound from the howler monkeys - these dudes make such an amazing ruckus that reverberates throughout the whole forest.
We also went through lots of rain and at one river crossing Elsie's hood (bonnet) was under water but she has been holding up really good.
In Carate yesterday we met some potential clients and later set up camp on the high water mark on a really beautiful beach.
The ocean currents were really intense and it was hard to stand upright even in the shallow water - the sand was actually a course sand and in 5 minutes, it had scoured one of my toes to the flesh and had to get out.
This morning we woke to a looming storm so we quickly broke camp and headed back to Puerto Jiminez
I hope you enjoy these few pics
Take care ya all
Paul & Angelika
