Riding Costa Rica, Day 8: Heading back...

The rest of the day

The coffee plantation visit was kind of interesting, as certainly not everywhere can make coffee.  I believe, but am not positive, some of the pics below are from the plantation.  We had tres leches at the plantation, which literally means ‘three milks.’  I’d had it before as I’d had a Honduran girlfriend for years, and will say - it’s an acquired tastes, and there is certainly both good, and not-so-good, tres leches - but you should try it at least once.  

We eventually made it back intact back to Atenas, and thankfully had time for one more dinner at ‘The Tree House’ - which I really wish I know the name of…but another ‘world’s biggest chicken breast’ with garlic, and just - yummy!

When we’d made it back and recapped the ‘day of adventure in the dirt,’ the rental bike owners were…kind of shocked.  I guess we rode somewhere ‘near the monkey trail’ and they said even their experienced riders don’t generally do that ride.  Ok, yeah - so I was feeling a bit better about that crapshow of a day, but not about letting myself run dry on the CamelBak…

With that, I’m going to call this trip a wrap, but will still recap in the trip Epilogue what I thought, what worked and what didn’t, etc.
