Today we had
the “pub lunch” that Princess has on some sea days. It’s British fare such as
Bangers and Mash, Fish & Chips, Ploughman;s lunch or Cottage pie. It’s in
addition to the other dining options at no extra charge.
Just a lazy
day by the pool. Tonight the show is Tom Briscoe a stand-up comedy act.
Forgot to
mention that last night before dinner was the Meet the Captain Party. Free
drinks and meeting the cruise officers. The captain for this voyage is Andrea
Poggi.
Early to bed
tonight as we meet for our tour tomorrow at 7:00A.M
Our first time
to Limon we did a one hour tour of the Tortuguero Canal and the Rain Forest
Aerial tram.. We saw little wildlife on either on that trip, though both were
very enjoyable and the view from above the rain forest was amazing!
So, this time
wanted to do something different and spend a longer time on the Canal. I set up
a private tour with a local guide name Jorge Morales. (jorgel.cr@hotmail.com)

The
Jaguar Animal Rescue Center in Playa Chiquita is a center to rehabilitate
mistreated, injured and/or confiscated animals, which are then reintroduced to
their natural habitat in protected areas.
During
your visit you will have direct contact with monkeys, wild cats, sloths,
raccoons, anteaters, marsupials, reptiles, amphibians, etc. You can also
observe most of the venomous snakes of Costa Rica which are housed in
terrariums imitating their natural habitat.
The Tortugeuro
canals are the Caribbeans version of the Amazon. They are an extensive system
of natural and man-made waterways used both for simple transportation and
jungle exploration. Traveling through the canals is a fascinating experience
rich in wildlife that includes monkeys, iguanas, and colorful tropical birds.
