... here are extremely polite and friendly. Where else does everyone who gets off the public bus, thank the driver as they descend the steps and the bus driver replies, "Con mucho gusto", which means, it was my pleasure. And where else do the people give up their seat on the public bus so an elderly person may sit down. The same gesture ...

... the river and the ocean meet, take a breath, relax for a while, sit still and enjoy the sunset! <br> There are not only nature activities. If you are more interested in cultural aspects of Camaronal life, you will love the children from Camaranol School, and you can be sure they will love you back. Very ...

<br>Ah the joys of hostel life. Evan with ear plugs in I was still awoken at 3.30am by 3 people debating their next transport move.<br><br>Started the day at 7am, found a nice spot in one of the Plazas and sat watching the city awaken. The shadows of the morning slowly being eaten by the hungry sun as the hours went on, pigeons pre occupied with procreation cooing and puffing up their neck feathers ...

... think that we have been on the go for 6 months now!!!! So today is the final day of this amazing journey, and what an incredible experience it has been. Now its time for 3 days of flying and airport layovers to take us back to that hallowed African soil. THE END...... for now!

... merkt, dass der Flug Verspaetung hat. Und einem dann, im Flugzeug vertickt wird, dass es jetzt laenger dauert weil wir Flugzeug 18 auf der Startbahn sind... Zum Glueck war ich dann auch so muede, dass ich vom Flug nichts mitbekommen habe ausser das Essen... Komisch ist auch, dass Passkontrolle und Zoll in Amerika so ewig dauern. In Costa Rica ist das ne Sache von 10min (mit Schlangestehen) http://www ...

... us to move there. So, for the next nine days we walked, and walked, and walked some more. Our first choice of an area of the city we wanted to live in was San Pedro, home of the University of Costa Rica, and, we are told, inexpensive with excellent restaurants and even a jazz club. We found an apartment advertised in La Nacion that was in our price range. Neal called the owner. He agreed to meet us at a bus stop directly in front of the gate to the ...

... in Squirres we dropped everyone off and ate breakfast at a pastry shop. We talked for the last time over a meal. He asked me if I would change anything - I said no. I said it would have been a very different experience if there were more people on the trip. I am not sure what that would be like. I loved talking to him. Joshua came back and said he was not coming with us to San Jose. Then he came around and said to me in English it was nice to meet you ...

... do terminal Coca Cola, almoço pela zona (não foi grande a experiência comer de comida típica da Nicarágua) e apanhámos o bus vermelho Tuasa para Alajuela. Nota: devem notar vocês... então não viram San José? Na realidade, ao todo estivémos menos de 3 horas, todas as pessoas que encontrámos diziam que não valia a pena e o que vimos das entradas e saidas de autocarro, da cidade e das envolventes dos terminais do Caribe, São Carlos e Coca Cola, parece confirmar a teoria...

... ask if we could have our seats changed. Rachel and Darren were in the very last row of the plane and I was in the front on my own. The unfriendly gate agent told me I'd have to wait - she did not think there was anything she could do. Our plan B turned into - see if the person in the last row would like to be like the Jefferson's and move on up to the top except we'd be in a not so deluxe plane in the sky instead of an apartment ...

... in Costa Rica, many jokes have sprung up to deride them. He told of a Nica who went in to an electronics store and asked to buy a tv. The clerk said, &#8220;we don&#8217;t sell to Nicas.&#8221; The Nica came back, tried to downplay his accent, and tried again. Again the clerk said, &#8220;Get out of here, Nica! We don&#8217;t sell to you people.&#8221; The Nica was determined. He borrowed a nice suit, practiced his accent, and came back again. Once more he was turned away. Before ...
