Later that day we did a kayaking trip with Pedro, the same
tour guide from our Rio Celeste hike coincidentally. It was a bit drizzly, but
a very peaceful adventure. Lake Arenal is the 2nd biggest man-made
lake in central America. Underneath is a bit of a lost city. The lake provides
both protection in case of another volcanic eruption, and 40% of the region’s
power.
While we kayaked around, we saw a couple otters, an Egret and some very nice scenic views of the surrounding mountains with
the low hanging clouds.
Late that day we had dinner at a place called Nene’s. This
was probably the most delicious meal we ate the whole vacation. While the
appetizers were OK, we split the two special entrees, which were awesome. The
first was a basic but delicious rib eye, served with a garlic olive tapenade on
the side. The other was a whole baked tilapia stuffed with hearts of palm, tomatoes,
and cheese – also served with a delicious lemon butter garlic sauce. The
pictures do not do the food justice here.
