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 ...

... which apparently - despite the simple apperance - should have some of the best food in Costa Rica. And I was not dissappointed. I had their "Captain Nemo's salad", which was a Japanese inspired seafood salad with eel and sweet sauce just as I remembered it from my favorite dish in Japan. <br><br>The beach here is nice, although there are some quite large waves, and you have to be careful about stones hidden just beneath the surface. The other day I managed ...

... usual jumping-off-the-rocks-into-water-where- we-can't-see-the-rocks thing and Farrah and I perched ourselves in a stream and relaxed. After a couple of hours we headed back down the hill to catch some afternoon beach rays and watch the surfers take on the huge breaks. It's very entertaining, it makes me tired just watching them! All that paddling...<br>Anyways, we laid low that night, made some dinner, played some cards at the hostel and ...

Following a tasty continental breakfast at Harbour Reef, our off-road adventure continued to Montezuma. <br><br>Recommended by a number of fellow travellers we had high expectations of this seaside surf town; however upon arrival our dreams were slowly shattered... the town was rather rundown and the hippy vibe was more dirty than cool. Checked out a few shabby ...

... the Moutain of Death.<br><br>The Moutain of Death is a mountain range on the InterAmerican Highway that got that name long before cars were around when people used to cross this moutain range by foot, horse, or donkey. Many people died back then and this moutain was almost the dealth of poor Wesley as well! We barely made it over the pass as Wesley was sputtering, blowing smoke, and wouldn´t go over 40 kms. We even pulled over and Devin replaced the fuel filter as ...

... to get through on a stinky sweatbox of a bus. Geez there were some disgusting smells as a result, myself included.<br>Finally I arrived in Quepos about 7km from Manuel Antonio, ate some lunch and got the local bus down to the beach, found a hostel quickly and went for a swim.<br>I must admit this was one part of the trip I had been looking forward to. All the photos of this national park and beach I had seen were stunning. So I spent the rest of the day ...

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>

... one could want. We ate fresh fish, salad, mashed potatoes all for only 2000 colones (which is equivalent to 4$) it was such delicious and fresh food and sooo cheap! I had my first Badita (fresh fruit blended with ice and water) which was one of the most delicious and healthy concoctions that I have come across in a long time. That too was only 800 colones which is equivalent to about $1.50. So we had a huge, delicious ...

... is a pretty sweet lifestyle. This english guy has been here for 3 months and his philosophy is to sit in this hammock untill he has come up with an idea and then go do it. I was thinking that is an excelent way of life and might just have to adopt that. ha As far as doing yoga It has not even happened. haha I have done some meditations which have been great but its really to hot for yoga. Anyway I was going to stay a week here but I ...

... and then caught the bus to the next stop, the Catarata de La Paz. At the waterfall, before we hiked down, there were 4 different little farms, butterfly, hummingbird, botanical and the serpentarium. We checked out all of those and it was pretty sweet. There were butterflies that just landed on me as I walked around and hummingbirds oblivious to our presence as they buzzed from feeder to feeder with lighting fast speed. There were snakes and frogs of all ...
