Blogs from Uvita, Puntarenas, Costa Rica, Central America Caribbean - page 3

Actually we are not in Uvita we are in Neily. Spending a lovely night in our A/C room at my favorite place, Hotel Andrea. We Finished the 4 days of Spanish school in San Juan Del Sur, I (Jordan) believe that the lessons really helped out, I think the others agree on that as well. We Had a few big meals with our friends in the hostel, including plenty of locally caught Dorado. I did the best i could hiding from the sun, which seemed to work very well, as the hammock choose to lay in for a few days was in the shade. We set a day to leave into Costa Rica on Sunday morning ( the 21 of Feb) but Allyne and Jordan went out the night prior and had a few drinks, needless ... read more

Kate - Our next stop Uvita which really is tiny. It consists of 2 supermarkets, a restaurant, a shop selling fish tanks????, a Pharmacy and that is about it! Close by though there is Ballena, another National Park mainly dedicated to to the more marine side of things. We stayed in another really nice backpackers and when we arrived is was absolutely bucking it down with rain- we felt so at home. When it is raining like that there is only one thing to do- make a good old cup of PG Tips( steve has been carrying around a box since we found a shop in LA selling english stuff!) and played scrabble, and that is exactly what we did -awfully english of us dont you think??? We knew we wernt going to stay too long ... read more

Hey there! Not a whole lot of news since last night. Were lazy and just went to the beach again today. Wow are those waves amazing. We tried to find a disposable waterproof camera to take pics of us in the breakers, but no dice. The waves can be pretty intimidating, won't hazard a guess as to the height, due to my horrible estimating skills, but they're big! On to Corcavado and the Osa tomorow. May be out of touch for a number of days, no idea how many though, depends if we stay in Puerto Jimenez tomorow night or not. Anyway, avoided getting to badly sunburnt today, although Tyler was much less fortunate-intelligent with the sunscreen. Well, on to Cahiuta after the osa, will be in touch and hopefully more pics! happy semana santa and ... read more

Hi everyone, We have not updated the blog in a while because we were visting a place that didn't have the internet. To give you all a quick update, we had to leave Boquete early because Lucas got horrible alergies from something that was in the air there. The minute he walked outside he would start sneezing like crazy and his nose wouldn't stop running. So we decided that we needed to leave and headed back into Costa Rica. We spent the night in a really cute town just outside of the boarder called San Vito. The next day we headed to a town called Neily and spent one night there because we were supposed to take a bus early the next morning to the coast. On the way to Neily we saw our lives flash ... read more
