Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica

From Cahuita we took a day trip to the beach town of Puerto Viejo which is the current coolest hangout for 20 somethings in this part of the world (so being old codgers naturally we didn´t stay there). But it does have lots of bikes to hire and we got this tandem for Blair and Ciaran and a single seater with a passenger seat for Romany. Romany the slave driver kept exhorting Susie to peddle faster and telling her she wasn´t tough enough when she couldn´t keep up with the guys. But it was nice to be on bikes despite that, even allowing for the pothole ridden roads and the single geared flattened tyred machines. Some serious sweating was done by those unaccustomed to such exertion.
On our return to Cahuita this two toed sloth was climbing along a power line adjacent to the main street (not much of a main street so he wasn´t disturbed except by us). Great to watch him move so deliberately with the expected energy efficiency but quite a respectable speed (for a sloth).
