... stond de wekker op 5 uur om naar Carate te gaan met de collectivo (ja Mo....er is wederom een nieuwe variant op de stadsbus) van 5.45 u. Na even een broodje bij de panaderia gehaald te hebben vertrok de vrachtwagen op tijd voor een tocht van 1,5 uur. Helaas hebben we de locatie niet bereikt omdat het water in de derde rivier overgang zo hoog stond dat we er niet door konden met de vrachtwagen. Ook hoorden we onderweg dat er veel ranger stations gesloten zijn ...

... figured it was a fuel issue. Now, a few days later, we relize the problem was not Wesley but bad fuel. White smoke, which we were blowing, is a sign of too much water in the fuel. Of course we had to get the bad Diesel right before going over the Moutain of Death! Luckily Wesley is running fine now.<br><br>That night we parked in the middle of a pineapple field own buy yours truly, Del Monte. I never thought we would be enjoying Del Monte for it's beautiful sunset's!

... gas stove to cook on as the Serena ranger station does not provide any cooking facilities, only water. We also had to bring enough food to last us the two days, mosquito nets, water, snacks, insect repellant, sun lotion, a torch, hat and sunglasses, good walking shoes, good socks, shoes to cross the river in and an open mind. Over the course of our two days in Puerto Jimenez we managed to buy all these things and visit Parrot Bay. <br><br>We were recommended by the owner of Jagua to ...

Just a quick blog to keep you up to date<br>Had to change plans as there was no space at Sirena Ranger Station. Margarita was able to organise alternative route into Corcovado<br>Got Marvi bus to Sierpe. Stayed in good cabinas and had excellent meal in their restaurant<br>

... Makes me shudder writing this. <br><br>As well as the animals the track runs alongside a magnificent stretch of coastline. Windswept, untouched and unspoilt. You can see big cat tracks most of the time and the sand is covered in various sizes of hermit crab, comically falling off fallen trees and driftwood. The path takes you along the beach in some places which gives you a welcome break from the heat and the mozzies (we had to bathe regularly in DEET), but the tide comes in ...

... im going to spend a couple days at another volunteer place. We shall see. I only have a couple days left because i come home on friday. So i got about 4 days. Hope everyone is doing well. Honestly if i didn't have a job lined up i would make Laurie quit her job and come live here because its awesome. But since i finally have a solar job I think I will love I have been looking forward to starting when i get home. Have a great day. Chris

... but so many of them make you pay to work there and thats not cool. so i will camp and work here until a new place reveals itself to me. There were some really cool french people that volunteered with us for a couple days and they were a bunch of fun to hang out with. Its amazing the people you meet when travelling. Yesterday we had more new volunteers come and they have been riding motobikes across central america. they will stay ...

... As we started crossing, Phoenix looked over and saw a bunch of small fins sticking out of the river, coming our way. We hastily crossed the river, humming the jaws theme all along, only to see from the other side that they were just big fish, not sharks. Reaching La Sirena, we were surprised to see a huge ranger station with much nicer accomodations than we were expecting. We got our own room, but with only one small bed, because the station was packed with ...

... safe without ensuring our code had been entered 2. Trying to find a cab in Quepos that was big enough to haul us and our stuff to Manuel Antonio (in the pouring rain) 3. No Monkeys our first few days 4. Washing our clothes in the sink in our room (they don't have that clean Downy Scent) 5. No Internet Access in our Room 6. Seeing boneheads at one of the Hotels feeding the Monkeys, some people just don't get it. Is it any wonder our world continues to sink. We, human beings, just ...
