Today we were off to Monteverde a trip we were slightly worried about as it didn't seem that straightforward and we weren't disappointed. We got lost in Tilaran a small town on the southwest side of Lake Arenal. In fact Monteverde is actually only across the lake from Arenal but as per usual with any car journey in Costa Rica it was slow and windy. I am certain a Cost Rican kilometre is much longer than an English one! We stopped for a coffee in the town and then headed off in the direction w...

A Cloud Forest is a type of rain forest but is characterised not unsurprisingly by a lot of low-level cloud cover at canopy level. They have lots of moss covering the trees and for this reason they are also called mossy forests. We had booked a guided trip around the park and were lucky enough to get Oscar who was absolutely brilliant. Almost immediately we came across some White-faced monkeys who annoyed at our presence started to lob branches down at us and also urinate. Apparently monkey u...

In high school I suffered through a year of Spanish with a teacher who, just a month before the start of the school year, recovered from a stroke. It wasn't her fault for her inability to write well or to concentrate on teaching the class, I blame this solely on the stroke. However, her constant absences and shut-up-and-watch-a-movie-in-Spanish teaching techniques did not encourage me to further my Spanish education. I decided to stick it out as long as was needed for the language requirement...

Day cafeuesday, June 30, 2009 - We started the drive around Arenal Volcano and Lake Arenal early in the morning. Our last views of the volcano were beautiful. The mornings were always so clear and the sky so blue.
The drive around the lake to Monteverde was very long. The views were great. We stopped at a bank and restroom stop at the cross roads between Arenal and Monteverde. After the stop we headed up the mountain to Monteverde. Oscar told us that Monteverde would be the highest ele...

... Shortly after starting my walk, this dog was standing in my path, and despite having told it – in Danish – to go home, it kept following me for the most of my way home. Which was uphill and uphill – and we are already talking about Santa Elena being at 1.500 m. And then it started raining. First as a slight drizzle, then more, and more, and more. I kept on walking relentlessly, and even though I thought about joining a couple of girls in a bus shelter, I ...

... 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!
