Cabinas Oro Verde Puerto Jimenez

... sneeuwzenders op de TV en met lezen. <br>De volgende ochtend leipen we twee blokken verder waar de bus al klaarstond voor vertrek. Nadat we nog even snel proviand gehaald hadden vertrokken we voor een rit van 9 uur naar Puerto Jimenez. We hadden de stille hoop dat we onderweg nog een paar uurtjes konden pitten maar dat lukte helaas niet omdat de vering van de bus aan gort was. We hebben letterlijk 9 uur zitten stuiteren en kwamen brak aan in Puerto Jimenez ...

... with two seats running down its sides for people to sit on. I felt like an illegal immigrant hiding from the law in this truck. It heaved its way down the unbelievably bad roads stopping off at a beach known for surfing, and eventually at Carate where we got off and headed to our accommodation for the night, a jungle camp lodge. For the extortianate price of $20 per person we had the privilage of sleeping in a tent with a homemad bed and a lumpy mattress surrounded by a jungle ...

... up, we nicknamed them the tri-nations, and they prepared to do the river crossing first. After we{d waited an hour or so for the tide to go down, we all stripped off to our underwear and waded in. It was about 40mts across and up to my stomach. It was actually pretty scary as the water was a dirty brown colour, so we had no idea what was lurking in it. But apart from the humiliating picture of me in my underwear, and wondering why the french girl was wearing a pink lacy ...

Hiking from Sirena ranger station to La Leona ranger station, Corcovado National Park. The hike back out of Corcovado followed the coast to La Leona ranger station at the eastern edge of the park. About an hour in we needed to cross the major Rio Claro; but we had timed our departure so we would arrive at this river crossing around low tide, and so the water was only a few inches deep. At Sirena we had met a group of people who had hiked in from La Leona to ...

Haha so the bus that i thought was going to leave at 6 only leaves during the high tourist season. So my bus is at 12 instead. The bus will arrive in Puerto Jimenez at 9ish. So i found a cheap hostel to stay in that night. The owner is an ex hippie named jamie. He is about 70 and is super cool. When i got up this morning i walked to the place where i will be working. It is super out ...

... toed sloths, one of each. Hermit crabs....we almost certainly passed the 1.2million we saw the last time these were on the list. A couple of lizards, Scarlet Macaws, a Black Hawk, humming birds, a large turkey (I forget its name) and a large rat (I forget his name as well) In the afternoon we hiked up to a waterfall and spent time swimming in the cool spring water. A treat when it's hot and sticky

... Wand**ung mit dem Fuehr** Gabriel. D** Beach entlang (unt** b**eits heiss** Sonne!) ging's zum Corcovado Nationalpark.

... which are endemic to Costa Rica and Panama and extremely endangered). On the way back we kind of lost the trail, along with a couple from Spain. Eventually we found our way back to the station. At the station, we saw clothes hanging everywhere around the camping area and realized that a group of English teenagers had arrived. Corcovado - Day 3 Our goal in the morning was to see some peccaries so we woke up at 4 AM and set out on the trail heading towards the ...

... he says no deal!!! what the ****!!! luckily he gives us an alternative...a car!!! so, of course we are like, ****in rights we want a car, but this is no ordinary car, this is a beat up, little piece of **** jeep...which by the way has no real doors, just one metal pole...haha, and we tried to use the seatbelts, mine was done up around the back, jenna´s wouldn´t stay done up and kirstens was not existant!! but whatever, this thing rocked. so ...

... early to get married in Hawaii (though she lost her passport so she has to wait until the embassy is open to get a new one, hopefully she will make it in time), so I have to do the entire last draft of that paper. Overall this has been a good experience for me. I have learned the following things: 1. the tropics aren't all bad, just the hot humid parts 2. lizards are cool and cute, but plants are still cooler and easier to catch 3. chocolate is ...
