 25th of July 2012, the day that Rowan became 22 and that came with a action packed day. First thing on the to do list was a surfing lesson.

Secondly we went on a quad tour through a rainforest.

Then we went canopy tour, the rainforest now from birds view

This little fellow (Scorpion) was in my glove and it crawled out when I dropped my glove.

Crazy kiwis trying to form NZ with their fingers and looking as retards at the same time :p

Looks like a nice ride down

Travis doesn't seem to like it

Last day in Jaco was resting day

Then Friday it was rafting time! Paquare river, the best in Costa Rica and the third best of the world to raft. We went down 2 to 4 rapids, was pretty awesome.

The people with whom we shared a van for our rafting trip. People from Costa Rica, Guatemala, Netherlands, Belgium, New Zeeland and USA. Go international!
