Arenal and a close up volcano experience.

Our transfer to La Fortuna and the foot of the Arenal volcano was a bumpy drive down to a very beautiful boat crossing. As we came around the bend in the lake the volcano rose above us. It was an amazing experience and looked exactly how you imagine a volcano to look. We were lucky to get some great views as the almost constant cloud did clear a couple of times. In Arenal we enjoyed some amazing meals out and a great day at the Arenal Observatory lodge. Here we saw a huge variety of bird life, our first coati and spider monkeys. We also had a majestic view from the swimming pool and spa.
