... figured it was a fuel issue. Now, a few days later, we relize the problem was not Wesley but bad fuel. White smoke, which we were blowing, is a sign of too much water in the fuel. Of course we had to get the bad Diesel right before going over the Moutain of Death! Luckily Wesley is running fine now.<br><br>That night we parked in the middle of a pineapple field own buy yours truly, Del Monte. I never thought we would be enjoying Del Monte for it's beautiful sunset's!

... shop looking for a hat for Alan (his North Face cap had definately seen better days and he was starting to resemble homeless chic) and had come out with a hat for Al, a new towel for us to share, and sunglasses and new flipflops for me. That salesgirl really knows how to sell her stuff! She should have been working for me when I was still a retail manager! <br><br>But our shopping expedition didnt end there, we walked towards the airstrip which is set in the middle of the town ...

Just a quick blog to keep you up to date<br>Had to change plans as there was no space at Sirena Ranger Station. Margarita was able to organise alternative route into Corcovado<br>Got Marvi bus to Sierpe. Stayed in good cabinas and had excellent meal in their restaurant<br>

Pavones is a three hour bus ride from Golfito,<br>including a river crossing where we left our bus on one side and<br>everyone, including the driver, got into another bus on the other<br>side. We arrived just at dusk and as usual tried to look at every<br>hotel in town before I would decide on one. We ended up at Cabinas<br>Maureen where we had a big room with a deck ...

OK here is what i have been doing! The kayaking through the mangroves was beyond amazing!! It was high tide so we could pretty much go anywhere and we saw many birds and lizards. I led the others through a path( that i made) through the thick of it and it was super super awesome. We then continued to head down the river going through narrow water passes surrounded by old trees and crazy looking vines! we must have kayaked for a couple miles ...

... waited to see if it would show up again. A few minutes later, we saw it spout, and realized we were looking at a whale out at sea (we checked in the books later and we think it was a blue whale, the biggest creature on this planet). It was Ido´s first whale sighting. We continued until the natural jacuzzi waterfall, stopping again for a relaxing shower. As soon as we left the clouds which had been threatening started pouring rain, which continued for hours ...

... before who had told me that it takes 2 days to do this trip...no no. I did it in one. I left at 5am from Bocas and got to my next destination at 5:30 pm at night. I used 2 boats, 3 buses, and 1 taxi to get there. Long day. After eating dinner I walked around to see how I can enter the largest national park in Costa Rica. I wanted to hike in one day and then sleep at the rangers station for 2 nights. When I go to Jimenez the ranger station was closed so I went the following day ...

... certainly yielded a much greater quantity of Wildlife which was totally awesome. The monkeys are simply a blast to watch. They run, jump from tree to tree, play and fight all in the tree tops.

Besides the wildlife the Parque also has what many of the locals claim to be the best beaches in Costa Rica. It would be hard to argue, There are multiple white sand beaches providing ...
