Aeropuerto Hotel Alajuela

... a great time going down.<br><br>The rest of the trip was walking through the canyon looking at the various plants and springs along the canyon walls. At the end of the adventure, we had to walk out of the canyon. This was very hard. After all Shaeleigh had been through on the adventure, this was almost too much. When she had just about ran out of steam and was ready to cry, we made it back to the little building where they had lunch waiting for us ...

... there's a huge amount just of people just outside the door hat offer private and collective shuttles to virtually anywhere in Guatemala and Honduras. <br><br>Our driver was very kind and explained the basic info we need to know about guatemala. We could tell we knew a lot of history and seemed more like a tour guide than a driver! He actually gave us some tips on where to eat, places to visit in antigua and prices on both. That saved us a lot of hassles ...

... Perhaps there is no type! Just need a pulse. On the other hand there are numerous girls on the beach worth watching! The group is splitting up here for various reasons, the group dynamics has not been good the entire trip. Mike decides to go back to solo travel, didn't even get to say good by and good luck to him as we just missed finding him. Greg decided to make a day run to Lake Arenal. Jene and I had discussed this but decided to stay together ...

... still on Nicaraguan side). Step 5: Filled in the same generic immigration form I´ve filled in every other country so far. Step 6: Approach the window and hope the official doesn´t tell me I have to go back to step 3. Step 7: Wait 10 minutes while the official swipes your passport repeatedly, types randomly on the keyboard (I´ve seen Fraser do that so I know the signs) and tries to make you feel like a ...

... the chest pains had gone thankfully. The next day I felt tons better but wasn't keen on traveling too far so decided to take a bus to Volcan Poas...the lazy man's choice for Volcano hiking as a 9.15 bus from Alajuela takes you most of the way for $3 return fare. I was really only going because I had nothing better to do whilst recuperating however was rewarded with amazing views of a luminescent turqouise lagoon situated within the crater of ...

Today I tried to have a lie in but was rudely awoken by a digger outside at 8.30am. I had a nice lazy morning while the group went ziplining (as I am coming back in a few days with Ben and doing it then). At 2pm me and a couple of people went on a cheese factory tour which was good because we got to hear the history of Monteverde and got to try some different cheeses. For dinner I went to a restaurant with Christine, Katrina, Nick &amp; Lizyy. Luckily the weather wasn't as bad as last night!

... to grab the camera from Epi in time to do a video of him too - even he was scared! I can´t really explain the feeling of flying over a cloud forest with the birds flying below you and the monkeys watching you in the trees, at the same height as you - it must be great entertainment for them!!! We were on a high for the rest of the day and even had a glass of wine with our pasta dinner. Early to bed as we are up early to catch the bus to Liberia.

... cable. You climbed up a platform then jumped off with one hand resting on the cable to use as a brake. You slid down to another platform, sometimes through the canopy at tree height. I took the monkey tied to me. At one point i braked too early and was hanging high above the valley below. One of the guides came out to rescue me. Hanging in mid air was scarier than the zip line itself. We rappelled 30 metres from a tree and then did a ...

... infra-red light, and other plants whose clear sap oxidizes to form a red colour almost instantly - so you can perform magic tricks by writing on something in invisible ink, and the colour slowly goes a deep red. Mushrooms were plentiful too - the guide pulling a line he clearly used everyday - you can eat any of Costa Ricas 40,000 species of mushroom - although some of them you can only eat once. He also brought laughs with a variation on the theme when describing ...

We were told to be at the airport at 7am since our seats were not yet assigned. We speeded through ticketing and checking our luggage and security. Thing moved a lot quicker compared to when we visited last year. They now have x-rays for luggage and carry on screening. Last year they had to hand search each passenger's luggage at the ticket counter which took a looooog time. We were through ticketing and security in 20 minutes.
