Malpais via Bus, Ferry & Taxi

We sure were spoiled while travelling along the southern Pacific Coast; everything seemed so close together. Now in order to get from Jaco to Malpais, we took a bus from Jaco to Puntarenas, then a passenger ferry from Puntarenas to Paquera, then we teamed up with another couple and split a cab ride from Paquera to Malpais. This was a full day trip.

Here's some pictures as we were pulling out of port...
We saw a wide range of boats, from pirate-looking fishing boats to some fancy house boats/yachts.


Here's us on the ferry...an hour ride to Paquera.



And I fell asleep for half of it, as Kyle took pictures from the ferry inside and out.
Along with our backpacks that I used as a pillow, here's the two board bags were now travelling with.
And some views of the Gulf of Nicoya as we cross to Paquera.
