January30 2013 Sea Day

Another sunny & beautiful sea day.

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)
Here is a description of what we are doing tomorrow:
Jaguar Rescue Center, 3 hours.
Tortuguero Canal,  2 hours
Bonita beach stop for lunch 2 hours.
The best view of the city and small city tour 1 hour 
 

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.
