Quepos, Province of Puntarenas, Costa Rica ctkoeppelAfter a surprisingly scenic travel day on Friday, we arrived in the town of Quepos, which makes a good base for the national park Manuel Antonio -- our destination for Saturday. The national parks in Costa Rica are known for containing some great jungle areas, both rain forest and cloud forest, and are supposed to have amazing wildlife. So, we couldnīt pass through Costa Rica without stopping at at least one. Manuel Antonio had the advantage of being reasonably accesable, and small enough and...
Quepos, Province of Puntarenas, Costa Rica kimandjohnJune 13: Had to say our goodbyes to Dustin today...he heads back to CT for a few weeks...sad, yes, but we know we'll see him again AND he promised to fulfill a few needs/wants from the states when he comes back down...ie..Siracha for chant and granola bars for kiley..so, all is good... Caught the direct bus,( cost about 1800 c) to Manuel Antonio at 6:00 pm....the best bus so far, air con and tv...and like I said, direct, so we should make it there by 9:30, which is when we are supposed to mee...
Quepos/Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica missouriAfter leaving Monteverde we cruised the PanAmerican Highway and the coast for 5 hrs or so to the pacific coast, namely the town of Quepos. On the way down and when we arrived the weather was fantastic but as soon as we had got our stuff ready for the beach a massive tropical storm rolled in. So we went to the beach anyway. Thereīs something quite refreshing about playing frisbee in a tropical shower. Although swimming in the sea with lightning regularly flashing overhead was probably not the ...
Quepos, Province of Puntarenas, Costa Rica rahulandbenHola, Ian here: Arriving in Montezuma, after a day of about 5 different means of connections, we were ready to simply find a hotel room, shower and relax on the beach. It was evident once we walked onto the main street that this was a pretty sleepy, laid back kinda place filled with inhabitants displaying distinctly chilled out and care free expressions on their faces. We managed to find a great room in a small hospedaje, which was about 15 meters from the waters edge and had a small balcony ...
Montezuma, Costa Rica saanddk We headed to one of Costa Ricaīs most popular parks - Manuel Antonio. The book makes it out to be a horrible touristic hell but we thought it was lovely. You catch a lcal bus to the park, pay your ten bucks and wonder through beautiful rainforest spying more monkeyīs, toucans, 2 sloths!!!, butterflies, and strange red crabs...for a few hours before chilling out on a spectacular white sand beach with clear blue sea and a lot of iguanas checking you out. Couldnīt get a more perfect day.

Quepos, Province of Puntarenas, Costa Rica xjassx... along the coast and found a nice little place for lunch. There were loads of monkeys, iguanas and racoonish kinda animals so we hadnīt needed to pay into the National Park at all in order to see some animals. Then we collected our laundry. The woman didnīt open the door with her towel on this time, thank God. She gave us too much change back, as had the bus driver on the way back from the park. Seems like Costa Ricans canīt really count. We got ...
Quepos, Province of Puntarenas, Costa Rica leprefrog... and diarrhea, followed by intense weakness. It's the sickest I ever recall being, and it wasn't a helluva lot of fun. Inez, however, took excellent care of me. I will update more on here later, but as I've lost a few days, I'm jumping on a bus to move along to my next destination. Annie will always know where I am and how I am as I'll be checking in with her daily, even if I don't make time to blog! ;-)
Orosi, Costa Rica greenhousevt... en japones. Y a veces estoy usando las palabras japones. Por ejemplo, he usado la palabra japones "namae" en lugar de "nombre." Tengo suenos en que estoy hablando en espanol y en japones. (Still at times I'm thinking in Japanese. And sometimes I'm using Japanese words. For example, I've used the Japanese word for "name" in place of the Spanish word for "name." I have dreams in which I'm speaking in Spanish and in Japanese.) Ja ne. Ciao. See you later.
Orosi, Costa Rica greenhousevt... and shortly after they ended, it rained all afternoon...every afternoon. The week was nice but I was glad to be moving on at the end. During the week, I had also me an older man named Bernie. He is retired and looking to rent / buy a house in Costa Rica. He needed to get to the airport and I needed to pick my friend up there, so at the end of my week, we woke up at around 5am on Saturday and took the 3 bus trip to the airport.
Orosi, Costa Rica adamwipp... in food has widened amazingly out here - through necessity - but now there's no need to return to Birds Eye chicken burgers and fish fingers when we get home. So, a complete success, and 2 years now to plan our next big trip, when they're 11 and 12! Time to sign off I guess. I won't be writing a blog about the trip home. Once you're in the air-con, placeless world of international airport lounges, you know your real travels have come to an end. Adios amigos
San Jose, Costa Rica fourpacks... for our stamps in the sun. And then we were told that afterward we have to get in another queue for get our luggage checked. The whole process actually took only about 2-3 hours. We were lucky because the busdriver somehow bribed the customs officer who had to check the luggage, the costs were splitted to all of the passengers. For only 1 dollar each we saved quite a lot of time an nerves. (we had to stand quite often under ...
