You will definitely eat well in Costa Rica! The cuisine is quite similar to Mexican food - most traditional dishes are a combination of rice (arroz), beans (frijoles), some sort of meat (carne) or seafood.
It is quite interesting to see the different styles of the bus stops everywhere in the world.
When my husband and I returned to the ground, we removed our safety equipment. We got fresh fruits and water at the gift shop.
I thought how cute the trash bins "organic, plastic and paper" are. It is good to have a habit.
When I saw the pink flowers, they immediately remind me of the cherry blossom or Somei Yoshino. In fact, it is not the cherry blossom, but I think it is very unique.
Those tropical flowers in Hawaii are similar to those flowers in Costa Rica. They have heliconia, red and pink gingers, and ti leaves. So lovely!
Arriving Limon, Costa Rica on November 24, 2010. What a beautiful day! As you see the tickets that we bought for the shore excursion, it is important to plan your activity and buy the tickets before the scheduled date. It is easy to book your shore excursion online. Last-minute reservation may or may not be guaranteed due to availability of seats. Before departing from the cruise, watch your depart time and show up in 15 minutes because your bus will be waiting for you.
On the pier in Limon, there is a swap meet on the end of the pier. It reminds me of the swap meet in Honolulu, Hawaii. A lot of arts, crafts, coffee packages, and other souvenirs are everywhere in the swap meet. We will check it out when we finish our shore excursion!

Stop by the souvenir store at the quayside before boarding the cruise. I found a wood penis and wondered why they made it, lol. There is a lot of arts, crafts, T-shirts, jewelry, and more. Lastly, my husband and I drank the best Costa Rica coffee beans and it tasted really great.

Soaring from our first of the platforms, we wowed! It was beautiful to see the rainforest above the ground. I think 5th or 6th platform is the fastest zipline I soared like a roller coaster. I felt like I went 20-30 mph. Sometimes I stopped before arriving the other platform, I had to reach the cable line and pulled myself to reach the platform. My husband and I got sweats already as if we worked out. We went down to the last platform for 2 1/2 hours or 3 hours. It was worth it!
Soar through the canopy of the rain forest, just as the monkeys and toucans do, for an unforgettable experience! We had a 30-minute journey to the 62-acre private Caribbean Rainforest Reserve. After a safety briefing, we walked to our first of 13 platforms. The staff trapped to our security harness and hooked up to a network of cables. When I flew, I really enjoyed the 360-degree views of nature, with occasional wildlife sightings. Once we were back on the ground, we enjoyed eating fresh fruits and drinking fresh water at the Jungle Breeze Restaurant and spent some free time to visit the Gift Shop.
