San Jose, Costa Rica
We arrived in Costa Rica yesterday and were amazed straight away by how friendly the people were (including the normally horrible customs staff!) The minute we stepped out of the airport we saw just how lush and green this country is. San Jose sits in the central valley basin and all aorund are breathtaking vistas of tropical rainforest and …
Keeping you updated!

So it is really close and easy to get to. The bus only cost $4 each way so it is also really cheap! The beach was pretty nice. I feel like a beach snob after spending so much time in South East Asia where I was able to visit some of the nicest beaches in the world. Jaco was a pretty rocky beach ...
