Farm life and zipping

At 6 a.m. bright and early the kids want to milk the cows. It proves to be not as easy as we imagined. The cow attendant fills and entire bucket of milk in 3-5 minutes, it takes us forever to fill the bottom of it. M & O like it anyway, they go and check out on the calves and they make friend with Negra, the oldest cow who produce the most milk. Now I can tell you one or two things about cows and about the fact they have their own personality and some of them can be aggressive.

In the afternoon we venture outside the farm. We get to the zip cord location to check it out and after so much debate we decide to go for it. It is a real unique experience and I am really glad we did it. If there is a good place to experience it is Costa Rica. The first cross is kind of scary, we are 650 Ft. above ground, and it is a real adrenaline rush.

The view from the platform was incredible: the volcano, the jungle, the lake!

But as Oscar said it was fun and not fun (not fun because he wanted to do more!)

On our way back we stop to El Castillo, not really a town but as a great view of the Volcano. After so much activity we are heading back to the Rancho for our afternoon natural pool time.
