Tuesday July 14, we got up early for breakfast in Bocas and had yummy American pancakes. The people who own Lula’s B&B are from Georgia and moved their family there. They were really nice to talk to and we really enjoyed our stay there. We got on the 8am boat back to the mainland and the transition back to our car was much better than coming there. We had our own air conditioned taxi with just the 4 of us. We got back to our car and drove past Siquerres and then had to drive over an hour on a rough dirt road to get to the boat dock to Tortuguerro.
We had to pay $175 for the round trip boat ride to get to Tortuguerro. The boat ride took a little over an hour and it was beautiful! We went down a big canal the water was brown and it was thick rain forest on both sides of the river it was beautiful and amazing! 
When we arrived Alfonso-a tour guide helped us find our hotel. We stayed at El Icaco’s it was on the ocean side of the island. The room had no air conditioning so it was hot that night. This place was very remote with dirt paths and very wild. We had dinner at a restaurant on the water and we wanted to take some pictures and couldn’t find the camera anywhere.
We realized we had left it on the boat and were stressed about it. We decided not to go on the turtle tour that night but we went and sat down by the beach and talked and enjoyed listening to the waves rolling in. We didn’t see any turtles but still enjoyed ourselves.

We saw a big caiman up really close. 
We saw an iguana up in a tree, we saw a humming bird nest with little eggs in it. We also saw and heard lots of howler monkeys. They are really loud and sound like bears. We also saw several little squirrel monkeys and lots of different kinds of birds. It started raining on us but we were prepared with an umbrella and rain ponchos. Alfonso our guide had lived on Tortuguero for 20 years and was very good. We saw our boat driver and asked him about the camera and he said he didn’t see it. Ugh! Now we were really frustrated that we had all those pictures lost! This was the second time this has happened to us! At least we still will get pictures from Aaron and Christen. We had breakfast and then checked out to get back on the boat to our car.
Another beautiful boat ride. When we got back to our car Brett asked the guy again about the camera and even asked to look in his backpack but he wouldn’t let him see and then he took off. We are pretty sure he took the camera.
