Nov 1

We left the Marriott early in the morning to the Cloud Forest in Monteverde. They said the roads were bad and it would take about 3 hours, we got to the base of the mountain in about an hour, started up the hill and thought the roads aren't that bad, they're just narrow and pretty curvey. Then the pavement ended, it was basically dirt, mud and chunks of rocks. Amazingly the shuttle van made it through, took forever and we got a little carsick. The view from the room was amazing, we could see the volcano from our bed, and at night we could see the lava flowing down, as well as lightning most of the night.
