Hand-Sawed Car Key
Good title for a blog post, don't you think? It certainly draws the eye and foreshadows how our evening ended (or at least, attempted to).
In short, today was not exactly our day, while not being horrible.
We began by driving out to the Hanging Bridges on the other side of the volcano and Lake Arenal. When we arrived, we were told …
In which everyone gets peed on by a monkey
So, when we left off our story, our car had a disassembled ignition and was left unlocked in the parking lot of our hotel, since we did not have a key which opened the door. This was obviously a very unsatisfying state of affairs. Thus, our first order of business after breakfast was to go to the locksmith and get the promised key for our car. We …
The Roads Were Not as Bad as in Greece
Today Ben and I arrived in Costa Rica for our one-week vacation.
It's been a long day (up at 4am), so if some of what I write lacks coherence or verve, blame it on the sleep deprivation. Our flights were non-eventful, thankfully; even the babies only made a fuss during take-off and landing. I tried listening to my audio book for the …

Flight was good!!

TravelPod Member ReviewsHotel Magic Mountain La Fortuna
Okay, I'm writing this on the first night, so it's possible that my views will change. However, the service and room so far have been excellent. Clean rooms (huge bed!), polite staff, a pool with a swim-up bar. Now, take all this with the knowledge that I've never really used a booking agency before, so I tend to find myself the cheapest hotel with a/c and internet that I can. Maybe for people who are used to higher-end resort stays this place isn't so special. Nevertheless, I'm impressed and our room has a lovely balcony looking out on the Arenal volcano! Oh, did I mention the complimentary drink when we arrived?
