Gran Costa Rica San Jose

... It is definitely an airport I would not mind spending time in. I spent my day waiting for the flight to start, waiting for the flight to finish and waiting for the next flight. Did I mention how much of my day I spent waiting. So between the 3:00 a.m. getup today, the 4:30 a.m. getup yesterday and not landing in Redding until 10:30 p.m. it will be a miracle if I don't fall asleep at my desk tomorrow.

Pura Vida!

... br>A wallet.

Like many men I know.

A wallet.

What am I supposed to do with that “Diane?”

I will say that her wallet was jam packed with Colones (that’s the local currency) though and she was taking it out to pay…I guess I can’t be too upset.

Perhaps I will just do what I do when the men I know take out their wallets…sit there and look sweet.

It's amuggy overcast morning, with spots of rain hinting of more to come.
We set off on the short run to the Nicaragua / Costa Rica border, skirting Lake Nicaragua on our left, with the twin peaks of Isla de Ometepe rising out of it. Unfortunetely, the low cloud and mist rather marred the view, that and the mucky brown lake water.
It is only 35km to the border so we are soon upon it and ready for ...

... ich mal mit meinen Eintrag weiter: Also, am Donnerstag vor Karfreitag haben wir dann meinen Abschied und Pauls Geburtstag gefeiert. War ganz schoen witzig. Wurde auch ziemlich spaet. Trotz allem bin ich um 7 Uhr aufgestanden und habe mich auf den Weg gemacht. Wollte ja nach Guatemala. Bis San Salvador klappte eigentlich alles prima, aber dann hats mich ganz schoen verarscht... Ich ging zu jedem Busterminal, aber nein, keine Busse fahren an diesem heiligen ...

... a different city knowing they were OK but worrying about the other party. Not a good situation! Greg stayed put but our Canadian friends decided to make a run to the border and make it to Costa Rica sooner rather than later. I feel badly about that because I really enjoyed their company and thought them made us a better group in all aspects. I hope to meet up again in CR as we have their contact info there. Both of these gentle men are going to be ...

... pool and we all spent the day sunbathing (Hana was particularly keen to top up the tan before waving goodbye to the sunshine for a few months when she heads back to the UK tomorrow). Scott went his usual shade of deep red but then aggrivatingly turned lovely brown a few hours later - how unfair!! We all did very well, however. We randomly ended up watching this film called Zohan; i mention it only because it was the most bizarre film any of us had seen for along time and it ...

... beverage), we headed off to an internet café to see if we (I) could shed any light on his Canadian VISA situation. I mentioned last time that I was feeling a bit guilty / embarrassed about suggesting that I might be able to help him, and this feeling was worsened tenfold when I was put on the phone to his brother in law. Having suggested a couple of things that I thought could be the issue, I discovered that this man had been a Canadian citizen for over twenty years, had already ...

... room, packed and then sent to the factory round the corner to be made. The tour guide spoke in spanish, so thats about as much as i could gather. We made a snap decision to go to El Salvador, nothing much really drew us to this country, but since we were in the area, it seemed silly not to check it out. We got ourselves a Tica bus ticket and turned up at the Texaco garage at 6:30 to catch our bus. We crossed two borders, one into Honduras and then into ...
