Around town in Manual Antonio

Manual Antonio wasn't as easy to get around as some other towns we've been to because it's more spread out. You have to walk much further or take cabs when you want to go places. The town of Quepos is walkable, but we moved to a hotel closer to the park (which I am happy about because we saw those monkeys!) Quepos is a larger town, but we liked the fact that it was almost all locals and not a very touristy town. There were many cool restaurants all along the road from Quepos to Manual Antonio. One of our favorites was this restaurant/bar called El Avion. It was a US cargo plane that has some interesting history behind it, but has since been purchased by a guy in order to make this restaurant. There were beautiful views and sunsets from the deck. Scott really liked sitting in the plane as well. We also went to an equally touristy Bat Cave Bar. The bar was in a very posh hotel and the prices were way above our budget, but it was an interesting place to see. It was put in an actual cave and had a very cool feel.







Last but not least, I have to mention this group of people that we saw while we were on the beach in Manual Antonio park. They were the most obnoxious people and right on a beautiful beach that would normally be so quiet and serene. Usually, when you see this display, you would automatically assume it is composed of Americans - but not this time! I'm not sure what nationality they were, but they were not welcomed by most at the beach who moved down further or walked on.
