Dave and Courtney to the rescue

So, we had a great night last night. First off Felico gave us a bowl of his mum's delicious Chinese noodle soup to tide us over and then he took us to Lava Lounge, which is a great restaurant/ bar run by a very chilled out Californian guy.

I finally got to have some great ceviche!

The cocktails were even better than at Ecothermales. They all tasted like they'd been made by someone with very unsteady hands indeed (large measures). The night was only improved by the appearance of our fellow guests Dave and Courtney, who turned up just in time to get the drinks flowing.

Felico surprised us by announcing that the meal and drinks were on him! It seems he has an open tab at all of the best places in La Fortuna. I guess you could say that he's exceptionally well 'connected'. Again we found ourselves feeling so grateful.

After we'd had our fill we came back to the hotel to continue the party with rum, gusto, mad cervezas and cards. I learnt a new game called 'Slap Jack'. Hilarity ensued until we called it a night around 2:30am.

Amusingly, Dave and Courtney are doing zip-lining this morning (rather them than me after last night's session) after which we're catching a lift with them to Nosara as it's on their route to Playa Samara.

They're a lovely couple. They had Amber and I in stitches showing us the video of the closing ceremony at the Winter Olympics. Yes folks, those really are giant inflatable beavers...

All packed up now and waiting for our ride. Very sad to be leaving. Amber summed it up thus morning when she said that if we were told today that it was the last day of our holiday that would be fine as we've had such a great time.
