One boat and four bus rides

---

Yet another early start with the boat ride out of Tortuguero at 6am - it was a fun trip through the jungle, up rivers and into the canals used by the farms out in the country side. From there we caught a series of buses to Cariari, Guapiles and onto San Jose. It was interesting to see the transition from jungle to country side where people live in very basic conditions through to the towns and cities of Costa Rica.

We got to San Jose and Trish hung out at the rather swanky Caribe bus station while I raced into town to discover that those wonderful people had repaired my camera - hooray! To celebrate, I bought a case to protect it from further misadventures.

We got on another bus and headed out to Cahuita, a small town on the Caribbean coast where we stayed at a Cabinas Jenny on the water. The town was kinda fun - no paved roads and a relaxed atmosphere. We bumped into our old pal Nicki again who was staying at the cabinas next door to us.
