We will post trip information here as soon as it starts. For 2010, we will continue planning the project and look for Sponsors that are willing to invest and support the Project. All indications in that regard is ...

... het National Park en dat de dagtochten niet de moeite waard zijn.....Jammer! Om 10.30 uur waren we onverichte zaken weer terug in Puerto Jimenez. <br>Zo als het er nu naar uitziet staan we morgen weer om 5 uur op.....om met de ferry over te steken en de bus te pakken naar Panama. Daar zal het weer waarschijnlijk niet veel beter zijn omdat heel centraal america momenteel geteisterd wordt door een storm....maar misschien is er wel wat meer te doen....<br><br><br>

After dropping Bev off at the airport we headed straight out of town. Of course this took us a good hour due to traffic and the inability to get proper directions! The map I we had purchased at a hotel the day when we came into the country was supposedly up-to-date, but so far I had counted around 10 mistakes. The San Jose portion was no different. By the time we got out of the city it was around 3 PM so we only had a few hours of daylight left and we still had to go ...

... and visit Parrot Bay, located on the edge of town on the beachfront. It is a lodge but has lagoons with caiman living in them and loads of macaws and other wildlife. Apparently the locals often go there to feed the caiman dog bones and scraps or, if they dont want to feed the caiman but want them to come near the shallow edge they throw sand onto the water so it seems to the caiman that you are feeding them. Being cheap backpackers we decided to do this. Almost immediately after ...

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>

... and we spent one part of the walk running along the beach like madmen to avoid the crashing waves. When we got to a safe haven and stopped for something to eat we realised that we could have just taken our shoes off. Oops. <br><br>Five hours in and I was pretty grumpy. The novelty animal spotting had worn off and we hadn{t seen the coast for a while. The DEET appeared to be unsuccessful and we couldn{t stop or sit down anywhere for fear of being eaten alive. It{s weird ...

Hey Update. I'm currently in Uvita Costa Rica at a place called Cascada Verde. This place is pretty awesome in the jungle with a crazy view looking out to the ocean. The people are all so different, each one is so unique. There is this lady from Germany GashaNe who quit her Lawyer job and came here to volunteer and do yoga... she's like 50 and has this funny broken English. I find my self laughing not only at her but with her constantly ...

... for 6 months and then move on again. Matt one of the new volunteers is kinda living the life i want to because he is a whitewater raft guide and a outdoor guide in the summers and then he just travels the rest of the time. so i have been doing a lot of talking with him. i will write all about the kayaking in the mangroves experience the next time i find time to come to the internet cafe. enjoy life and have a wonderful day!!!!!!!!!

... visitors. Corcovado - Day 2 We got up early and went for a short walk with our friends to see what kind of wildlife we could see. Slogging through the mud, we reached a stream that we didn´t feel like crossing, and stopped to rest over there. Then we heard some bird noises and Ido said it sounds just like Lulu, an amazon parrot he used to have. We looked around and saw a cute green parrot in a tree above us (later we found out that it was indeed an amazon ...

... t get it. Costa Rica at last. It has been a long time coming but we've finally arrived in Central America. We took the Red Eye out of LA to San Jose via Guatemala City, the flight was uneventful other than some new ridiculous regulations that force you to disembark on flights that continue on. So we had to take all of our carry on off the plane in 'Guatemala City and then put it all back on, yes in the same rows, and continue on to San Jose. This is harsh enough but when you had ...
