Panama Canal Cruise, Day 7, Saturday, Limon, Costa Rica, October 26, 2013

We arrived at Limon, Costa Rica before dawn. The sky was blue with white puffy clouds and the temperature around 75 degrees.

Once again I was the slacker and stayed onboard the ship while everyone else went on an excursion. I would have joined Babs on the zip line but, like the horse back excursion, I was beyond the weight restrictions. I enjoyed the pool and forgetting our proximity to the equator, got a nice sunburn in less than two hours.

Babs opted for a zip line adventure that sent her scooting through the jungle canopy high above the ground. The zip line course was a series of long rides and lasted over two hours. She had a blast but was not able to take photos of her experience. When she finally returned to the ship she was beaming and looked like a kid in a candy store.

Nino, Michelle, John, and Sharon enjoyed a "Banana Train" ride to a banana plantation and took these photos of local scenery and the banana plantation.

Old and new collide

Bananas as far as you could see

Frank and Kitty went to a Sloth Rescue Preserve and shared these photos.

Isn't he lovely

Tonight and tomorrow we will be at sea on our way to Grand Cayman. Another opportunity to eat, and eat. I thought that I would never say it but I'm actually tired of eating.

Babs Says: Wee, zipping through the rain forest is awesome.
