A Fleeting Visit

---

We have gone out of our way to avoid the bigger cities (other than horrible Tegucigalpa in Honduras) but headed to the bussling San Jose to give it a chance.
One night is more than enough! When we first arrived we were dropped off at a bus stop not to far from the hostel we were going to stay at and thought we would walk. After about 200m we felt so intimidated by the dirty roads, litter and homeless sleeping on boxes that we jumped in the nearest taxi! In hindsight it wasn't that bad....you know how it is: the bus stops are invariably on the dodgier ends of any town. I think after being in so many small coastal and colonial town, the city streets took us by surprise.

We used the night to try catch up with out emails and Travelblogs (most of the bigger more well known hostels all offer free internet).
The next day we were on a bus (6hours) to La Fortuna, northern Costa Rica.
