Another very long ride - 3-3 1/2 hours. Deb and I used a patch because the first 1/2 of the trip was once again on those windy, hilly, narrow roads. But what a beautiful ride. Around the volcano, past and around Lake Arenal, close the Niguara border, then down to the beach. It was interesting watching the landscape slowly change as we neared the Pacific coast. Flatter, drier, and as Dennis forwarned, certainly windy. But so again very beautiful in a different way. Lots of farms, and as we got close to the coast, craggy cliffs that plunged to the sea.
Trip From The Springs To Four Seasons
The road leading into the Four Seasons is a zigzag with panoramic views of the ocean on both sides, past a velvet green golf course. I knew as soon as we got out of the taxi, that if Robin had any chance getting her feed rubbed, it would be here.
I think there must have been 5 staff to every guest. They truly thought of every convenience and comfort possible. If you tried to do anything yourself, there was someone intercepting and saying - this is your vacation, you enjoy, I'll do ___________ for you(fill in the blank). Since I'm so accustomed to Casey and the girls waiting on me hand and foot, I felt right at home.
Looking From Four Seasons Lobby Down To Open Air Bar
Blanco Beach(I Think?)
So of course it was time for our cocktail lunch, which we thoroughly enjoyed at the outdoor restaurant.
We lounged on the beach fairly late - the sun was going down and the skyline was beautiful.
And the view from our room paralleled the view at The Springs. We overlooked the ocean, and the sound of the waves put me to sleep every night.
We got room service for dinner - sushi which was delicious and which we enjoyed on the patio. Which by the way was a room onto itself - couches, chairs, lights, fans. We had stopped and stocked up on red wine, which we enjoyed every evening during our cocktail hour before dinner.
Ok so I could get used to this. The Springs Spa & Resort? Where's that?
