We board on a bus at the airport and the first negative is that there is a bus next to us loading luggage on the roof with a tarp. We then find out that this is the rainy season here....
The best picture I can take from the bus looks like this.... Pouring rain...
This is a picture of what the shops, bars and restaurants looked like during the bus trip... 2.5 hours of winding roads through rain, tight turns, climbing high mountains and motorcycles. The highlight was a schoolyard of kids playing soccer with awesome skills.
This is a river full of crocodiles. People watching from the bridge.
We finally arrive at the hotel and this is the view. Amazing after traveling 2.5 hours through what seemed like a very poverty stricken area. A group of natives "sporting skins" waved at the bus as we entered the compound. They love tourists and they coin people probably drop here.
There is a Fitness Center and Casino on the grounds. I tried to check it out and set an alarm off. Hope they have poker.
The meeting schedule for Todd changed to give him the morning free vs. afternoon because I guess it rains all afternoon here during this time of year.
Overall the scenery is gorgeous and I wish I'd of been able to take pictures of the landscapes during the drive. Rainforests, mountains, waterfalls and more were the highlights.
The golf course looks amazing too (and empty - nobody playing). We're shooting for a 7am tee time tomorrow (Monday).
More tomorrow!
