We leave for this great preserve for the Green and other sea turtles. It was a long day of travel to get to Puerta Cana where we were to get a boat to take us to the Laguna Lodge in Tortuguerro. There are no roads, only boats to get in and out of the area. The road for the bus was flodded and looked like we were driving through a river. Fortunately there was a road base. The boat launch had a shallow area to cross with some difficulty and once across, we motored for about an hour and a half to get to the hotel. We arrived at about 4 PM to a NON-ALCOHOLIC welcome drink! We then went to our rather rustic cabins with no top sheet and only a ceiling fan. Aircondition was au naturale via the screened windows. The humitity was about 90 percent and this was winter. The temperature however, was a pleasant 80 to 84 degrees.
You have to be off the beach by 5 pm to avoid disturbing any turtles that might wish to arrive to lay eggs. Basically, after dinner and a beer, we went to bed.
