Buena Vista Lodge

Zip lining upside down

We had the lodge to ourselves last night. There were lots of sounds from the insects, birds, and frogs. Come daybreak, we had a cup of coffee and then went zip lining. They had 9 separate lines and on the last one a number of us went across upside down.

 Horseback riding from our lodge

After breakfast, we went horseback riding to the spa. Neither Mary nor I had been on a horse in over 20 years. Obviously, we weren't the most skilled riders, but we did manage our horse (when it wanted to go where we wanted to go). The spa is fed from the hot springs of the volcano. We started in the steam room, followed with slathering ourselves with mud, then someone with a sadistic nature washed us down with cold water. After that we got to relax in the warm pools and the Imperial beer sure tasted good. Here we encountered lots of people from other hotels and the near-by area who come to Buena Vista for the activities.

Sunset at Buena Vista

In the afternoon, we relaxed by our cabin and the went to the sunset bar for drinks and a great sunset over the mountains. It was a great day of fun activities.
