Arriving in Tamarindo
Arrived in Tamarindo, Costa Rica at our second Airbnb on Sunday. Travelling from the airport at Liberia to the coast, I commented to Jarrah that the vegetation looked very similar to the eastern Transvaal in South Africa (where the game parks are). So not too much of a surprise to learn that there is an African Safari Adventure park here with giraffe, oryx, wildebees and ostrich! No mention of the Big 5 though 🙂
I am the one who bakes! 
This guy was about as shocked to see us as we were to see him!

Giggle for the day:
Turns out it wasn’t a frayed, black label sticking out from under the bathmat – was the pincers of a scorpion.
The 25yrs of living in Oz catching huntsmen spiders turned out to be good training for trying to get poor said scorpion onto a small dustpan and outdoors again.
I thought it probably looked quite funny – Jarrah wasn’t laughing though!
Don’t expect help or support from daughter when scorpions are about!

Are you kidding me? Scorpions? With a dustpan? Costa Rica permanently removed from my bucket list. Thanks for the heads-up. x

OMG! You’re such a wimp! You don’t belong in Oz – you belong back in the mother country 🙂

Just love the beach scene Sandy – hope that’s a Luna towel you’re carrying?!
Only one scorpion?
Sandy
Yes, Pip only found the one scorpion. Waiting for its mate to appear – apparently they are always in pairs 🙂
