WHERE'S BROOK? Contest, Round 5
Where am I?
Welcome back, puzzlers. While the rest of us were taking the weekend off, JSteele figured out the answers to Round 4, AND the extra credit: I was planeboarding in Costa Rica's Golfo Dulce, until a group of jellyfish started attacking.
This was my first time planeboarding, but I'd do it again in a second (preferably without the stinging jellies). You hold on to a half-moon-shaped wooden board that's dragged behind a boat, and you can dive by tipping the board down, cruise underwater by holding it flat, and come up for air by tipping it up. I've never felt so much like a fish, gliding 10 feet under the surface.
But now it's time for Round 5, shown above. Please name the country, city, and hotel room where I took this photo.

Thanks LoriB! You are definitely a worthy competitor. The local term planeboarding was a very good find, and I will admit I was lucky to have come across sport of planasub/planeboarding in Brazil. For some reason, the sport doesn't seem all that popular, probably because it is so simple that resorts can't sell it for prices like Parasailing or scuba diving.
