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 couldn´t 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. There´s 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 Rica´s 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 monkey´s, 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. Couldn´t get a more perfect day.

Quepos, Province of Puntarenas, Costa Rica xjassx... to wait for an afternoon bus - my plans for a much needed lie-in in my own private room (at the same price as I have been paying for dorms in expensive Costa Rica) were thwarted by the renovation of the hotel bathroom directly outside my door from 8.30am onwards - banging , drilling & sanding were the order of the day so sleep once again postponed and I had to get up and take a walk around the town , which is much more pleasant in daylight.

Orosi, Costa Rica greenhousevt... figured out yet the exchange rate precisely, but I think I'm eating lunch for something around $3/50/day. I've been eating the "casado" plates mostly -- a protein (chicken or fish for me), beans, rice, some vegetables, a fried plantain slice and a juice of some kind. After lunch I spend a) here at the Internet cafe, b) studying, and/or c) wandering around town learning what's where. Yesterday after lunch I went hiking to meet a campesino who works his own ...
Orosi, Costa Rica greenhousevt... Dave loved the feel of the wind in his hair again...and I'm not joking! From Roatan we travelled to Copan and the Maya ruins there. We walked to the site about 1km outside the town of Copan Ruinas and hired a guide to show us round. It's fascinating to see the incredible skills and artistry they had developed by around 400AD. Very impressive. They have not only the famous hieroglyphic staircase but stelea (stone pillars) with carvings of their kings and a ...
Antigua Guatemala, Guatemala joyceanddave... I had no rain. So my travels on horseback was good. It took 2 hours to get to their house. That God I asked for a horse because we went through a river that came up to my thigh and I was on horse. While there I learned how they make pocket books out of plants and what plants can be used for making a house. It was really interesting. I ate with the family each day and had some really interesting meals. Tina you would have loved all the rice and beans ...
