... on branches as couples. My kind of birds. <br><br>Cabina Corner was a lovely, if somewhat jailcell looking hostel with the added bonus of having a new annex with a lovely kitchen that had been finished just three weeks prior to us getting there. We therefore decided to stay in the annex so that we could prepare our own evening meals to save some cash. <br><br>Saving cash seemed to have slipped our minds though that afternoon as within an hour of arriving we had walked into a ...

A day of hiking around the Sirena ranger station, Corcovado National Park. The morning was spent hiking some of the trails around Sirena. We had already seen a few animals on the hike in yesterday, mostly monkeys, and we were able to add a few more to the list now. Part of the way through the morning's hiking we stopped off at a small river and went for a quick swim. The tide was coming in so fast that in the minute or so between dumping ...

... the first night I went to bed I wasn't instantly in love or impressed with the place. In fact I was thinking of ways out, alternatives and the possibility that this was just not going to be a place for us... As I'm sat here writing my entries on Sunday 23rd, after several days here, I can safely say that this first impression is certainly not the one I will take from Corcovado. I love it, its simple, its right and we're having fun.

... I think my decision to take this trip was possibly my most brilliant ever.  It gave me a new perspective, a chance to live in a different culture and way of life, a chance to have fun teaching, opportunities to backpack with others and by myself, chances to meet people from all around the world, and a break from my normal life.  I'd recommend this type of experience to anyone.  I want to thank everyone who supported me morally and financially.  See you all soon.

... a school group doing some kind of character building adventure trip with their teachers. We got to the first point just in time to miss the low tide, so we had to wait around for a few hours until the tide was low enough to cross the rocks. We made a nice breakfast and had a good rest. As a bonus, while we were sitting looking at the ocean, Phoenix saw something big in the water that was there one second and gone the next. Hoping she wasn´t going crazy ...

... which is where all the red frogs were. On the beach itself there were no frogs. The waves were like LI and the beach even had its own seaweed floating everywhere. So, in comparison it really wasn´t special. After that we went to another reef where I saw a sea porcupine. It looks like the back of a porcupine but under water. The next morning I woke up really early to catch the first bus out of Bocas so I can make it to the other side of Costa Rica. I spoke with someone the ...

... Matapalo that has food, they had two dinner options. Casado with chicken or pork. A casado is the basic plate of food here in Costa Rica, it has rice, beans, a salad and some type of meat. Gallo Pinto and Casados are the two Costa Rican Staples. After dinner we retreated to our dark hostel with our head lamps. Its pretty damn hot out here and since there is no electricity there are no fans or AC.
