We travelled to Puerto Corinto, Nicaragua and Puerto Caldera, Costa Rica on our way to the Panama Canal. The terminal in Nicaragua was small and we decided to stay close to the ship – so we walked to the town and did a little bartering and took a few pictures.
Dave particularly liked the big gun!

The scenery was very interesting and the coastline rugged and beautiful.
In Costa Rica we took a 5 hour excursion called Tropical Train Ride and Exotic Mangrove Cruise. It did give us a great chance to see the countryside and the seashore – as well as – to get close to nature in the mangroves. On the cruise we saw crocodiles, macaws, iguana, and lots of birds. To see a pair of macaws in the wide was awesome.
During the train ride, we saw howler monkeys in the trees and miles and miles of cantaloupe fields.
