After dropping Bev off at the airport we headed straight out of town. Of course this took us a good hour due to traffic and the inability to get proper directions! The map I we had purchased at a hotel the day when we came into the country was supposedly up-to-date, but so far I had counted around 10 mistakes. The San Jose portion was no different. By the time we got out of the city it was around 3 PM so we only had a few hours of daylight left and we still had to go ...

Then on top of it all theres the sounds of so many different birds and insects. But just chilling in a hammock for hours each day and watchign passiont fruit fall off the ...

... faster than Michael Jackson gatecrashing a five-year-old's birthday party. A couple more bars and then us blokes who were left - the girls having gone home and tucked up in bed by now - ended up at a strip joint! Now even if you don't wish to participate in the "services" offered - which incidentally is 100% legal in Costa Rica - it's $16 to get in and that includes two free drinks, plus of course the public stage shows. My way of helping the local Costa Rican economy :-)

... Later on we all just lay under the stars listening to the waves crashing next to us, it was heaven. The next morning we woke to an English breakfast cooked by Sam which was fantastic, we were joined later on by some of the local Kuna tribe who were selling various hand made crafts. Gene was straight over with a beer and some rum for the leader and he was very happy. Apparently they would get ...

... in my life felt more out of place. paul was the only guy under 40 and i was the ONLY girl there that wasn´t a prostitute....ya, needless to say, we didn´t even finish our drinks. but it didnt really matter, it was about time for bed anyways, so we made our way back to the hostel and said our goodnights. today i talked to espen and made my way to the resort. when i got there there was a key waiting for me at the front desk. i made my way up to ...

... and the other Australian. They are touring round Central America together on bikes laden with all their belongings, after seeing a lot of what Costa Rican roads have to offer, I am impressed! It seems to me like a great way to travel, its cheap, you get to see everything as you go by and you are not restricted by public transport times. However, the hard pedalling and fixing of your bikes would probably become less of a novelty after a while and as far as I know you cant get a ...

... and me and jb have just set up camp at the bus stop on the main road in Jaco, the timetable tells us that the bus should be ariving at 12.00, but we are used to the transport here and realise it could be anytime in the next few hours really. It is scorching hot and I am sweating buckets so I decide to cross the road to the supermarket to buy water. I tell jb and leave the bags with him, as I am about to leave a local lady knocks my boardbag over, she apologises and I put it back in ...

... from Managua, and Celine Dion is singing in Spanish. They have never heard of her so I do my best to explain who she is. Our bus leaves at 6AM tomorrow morning so we will be up at 5 or so. We have been invited to Nimia's house for breakfast. Nicaragua is one hour ahead of Costa Rica right now, (they follow daylight savings time). So the sun does not rise til close to 6:30 or so. We will be doing all this in the dark. I have been given Efrains bed and he ...
