Without fail, 05:30 wake up however we were threatened with a rainy start to the day. Therefore breakfast was inside again in Le Jacques Cousteau restaurant. We set to plan a trip to Quepos and luckily nobody else was looking to ride the 09:00 hotel shuttle and Wilmar agreed to take us into town. We were told that there was a farmer's market and it was just as described. Similar to ours in the states, local farmers selling their fresh produce and some crafts. We got a fresh cold coconut and drank the juice as Desiree finished it off by eating the coconut. Some really great prices and exotic fruits.
We headed to the local grocery store, same as last time, to pick a few items up and stopped at the same cafe where for Desiree to pick up some pan con queso. I grabbed some arroz con pollo for lunch and we headed back to Manuel Antonio via public bus. Back to the hotel for siesta and then walking down the the playa for sun and relaxing. While relaxing we saw a couple guys looked as though they were filming a rap video. While we were walking back, a truck almost past us before I stuck my hand out with the thumb up and we hitch a ride up the steep climb to the road. All we had left waste walk about 500m to the hotel.
Back to the hotel to clean up and have out last dinner back at Kapi Kapi where we loved. If we have decided to eat at the same place twice, it's bc everything else was really bad, or it was really that good. Fortunately for us, the latter. What a beautiful restaurant. Also how crazy it is to be the only ones again. In a couple weeks, this would never be the case where you would be solo at any restaurant in Manuel Antonio during season. We started with the Thai chicken lettuce wraps and split the mahi mahi with jasmine rice and stir fried vegetables. The dinner culminated with a chocolate souffle with ice cream. What a great meal to finish our last night in Costa Rica. The weather held up for us to have our last time waking home. Bitter sweet the night was as we have had an amazing time with the beauty of the last, exquisite food, and wonderful people.
Buenos Noches. Pura Vida!
