We left Quito, Ecuador to fly to San Jose, Costa Rica. We stayed in San Jose for one night. We had seen enough of cities and wanted only the good life on the beach. In addition to this, Simon’s big birthday was fast approaching, so we had to ensure we were somewhere special for this occasion. As we didn’t have much time to spend in Central America, we could only pick one destination in Costa Rica for several days. We wanted to pick somewhere outstanding, but Costa Rica is made for exploring and there are so many places to choose from, that to decide on just one place is near impossible. We read our guide book and internet blogs into the night and decided on settling down in the hippy village of Montezuma on the Pacific ... read more

SEIS TIBURONES, 6 DELFINES, 6 PICADURAS y UNA CENA...ZA! 6h45- Habíamos puesto la alarma a las 7h15, pero qué le vamos a hacer... nos gusta, por raro que pueda sonar a los que nos conocen, disfrutar de la primera hora de este país. Además, con el olor del pan recién hecho y el dulcor del olor de la piña que sube y penetra hasta el último rincón de nuestra habitación, ¿quién se puede resistir? Tenemos que comprobar el estado del cielo para ver si esta vez podremos salir a bucear a la Isla de la Tortuga y parece que .... ¡Sí, solazo en cielo azul! Esto es exactamente lo que pedimos ayer, después del día de farniente... Desayuno compartido entre Tamim y Sonia: un plato de fruta cortada (piña - cómo no-, sandía, papaya - no ... read more

I´m currently in San Jose, at a giant backpacker´s hostel called Pangea. It looked quite ominous from the outside, with its metal barred walls and giant curls of barbed wire lining its rooftop, but once inside (after gaining entry approval from the door guardsman and passing through a hallway of security cameras and another barred doorway) it opened up to a common area with color splashed walls painted with forest murals of moss and knotty trees and gnomes and trippy swirling ceiling art. The upstairs boasts a glass enclosed bar and restaurant and an assortment of couches to sink into, where you can see the rooftops of San Jose sprawling around you. We caught a bus in Montezuma at six thirty this morning after a relaxing last day spent playing pool, strolling along the beach, and ... read more

Well Costa Rica hasn't given us the welcome that the other countries did. This morning we woke up to find some of our stuff stolen. Matt lost his shoes and shorts and I lost shorts :/. Really frusterating to get things stolen that we need. Not a major issue as we are going to head towards San Jose soon and can probably find cheap stuff there. I wish we had got robbed in one of the other coutries instead because it is expensive down here. Besides that the day is proceeding alright. The guys caught a bus to the park lands today to do some hiking. My ligaments in my knee are a little messed up from getting hit with a surf board so I decided to take the day off, laying on the beach. Yesterday's ... read more
