A picture is worth 1000 words


I took this picture on an island while on vacation in Costa Rica. It was a lot work to get there. First we went from place to place comparing prices until we found the best one. It sounded pretty good our own private boat with lunch and snorkelling included. When we got to the beach where we would take the boat but when we got there the owner said we couldn’t use a credit card to pay, when the day before we asked if we could and he said yes. We drove all the way back to town which was an hour drive. Once we returned we looked at the boats as we waited. We there were many boats however ours was the smallest, a little fishing boat. It was a rough journey there, although it was beautiful there was somewhat of a storm coming and the waves were growing bigger. It took about an hour. Once we arrived it was beautiful and there were few others there, although it was too rough for snorkelling, and lunch was not as good as promised, we still enjoyed ourselves. Later a bigger cruise ship arrived with more people.  As the day came to an end the wind grew stronger, our fishing boat that we had arrived on got loose and was pushed to shore. We couldn’t take it back. Luckily the captain of the cruise ship said we could go back with them. The owners of the fishing boat decided to stay overnight on the island. The cruise ship was nice, it was way bigger and it had a hot tub and pool on the top, and the best part was that it was free.
