A Day at Boatique Hostel in Rio Dulce – 20220720

Today was just what I needed! Nice and relaxing. I woke up at 8 after 10 hours of sleep, had an amazing breakfast at Boatique hostel and then tried to get a couple things done on my computer.

Around noon I rented paddle boards with a couple other hostel goers and spent a couple of hours going up the streams. They were pretty murky and freaky but absolutely beautiful. Once we were directly under some howler monkeys and got to hear them sing their songs and watch their balls dangle above us.

We went back, ate lunch, and the Austrian girl left for Livingston. I paddled a little more as the sun set. I had dinner with a few other travelers. It was just a nice long happy day.

Tomorrow I plan on doing just a day trip thing to Livingston. Apparently it costs 200 quetzales to boat up and down and stop at some things along the way

El Estor to Rio Dulce – 20220719

Yesterday I drove from El Estor to Rio dulce but stayed right near the Castillo de San Felipe de Lara. 180 quetzales($23) to stay at Viñas del lago. Not a bad place. But the location turned out to be pretty meh. You can really only get to the Castillo from there. The place to stay would have been the other side.

All I did was check out the Castillo, eat, rest, and get some much needed sleep.

Today I woke up feeling awful had some fruit for breakfast and booked a place for the night called Boatique Hostel for $20. I had to drive to a restaurant, drop off the motorcycle and wait for the boat to take me out to the place. Man, what a pleasant surprise. Boatique Hostel is absolutely gorgeous. I love the little cabins and the little walkways that go around the swamps.

I met 2 other travelers here that are pretty cool. We talked a lot and ate dinner here together. These weird fly things kept flying into the water made by the condensation on our drinks and dying. And the mosquitos are terrible. Anyways. I’m very pooped and I’m going to sleep.
