enjoyed our trip, went to Atenas, Manual antonio, Punarenus and La fortuna. Went to some nice restaurants in Manual Antonio. Nice day sailing to Tortuga, nice beach, although it seems all about removing cash from you the moment you set foot on the beach. Saw most of the wildlife that we hoped to see
