Monteverdi e Tamarindo

Today was mostly a travel day. After a brief breakfast we clambered on board the bus and headed down the Pacific side of the mountains headed for the beach town of Tamarindo. Along the way we stopped at a cafe known to be the hangout of a flock of Scarlet Macaws. There was only one scarlet but it was keeping company with a blue and green,

I was also lucky enough to catch this as yet unidentified butterfly at rest.

We reached Tamarindo in midafternoon.

We managed to occupy ourselves until sunset.

Then we had some ice cream.
