Costa Rica

After our flight to from tamarindo to san jose we caught a cab up to the downtown area where we were staying. Along the way I saw a mixture of money and poverty. I saw ferrari dealerships. Nice cars. And o ya.. a bum walks into a empty corner lot dropps his pants and starts releiving himself as peo…

Our hotel room was all we could hope for.  Clean and cheap, with reasonably comfortable beds :-)  Upon checking in, we promptly headed to the restaurant for some much needed grub.  Costa Rican food is not too bad.  It's a bit plain but it's good.  Our first meal consisted o…

The bus got into San Jose after dark. All the other tourists when off to either places that were reserved, or a hostel being hawked for $12 per person. We thought this was way too much, and decided to take our chances walking around the bus station at night looking for cheap hotels. Yes, I know, th…

Well we arrived safely in San Jose after what was probably one of the best flights of my life. Everything went really well with check-in etc and all was fine until I got stopped at security and had my bag searched. I then remembered, that as we haven´t flown for ages, and are used to just going by…

My flight left from Houston, Texas and within hours landed in the peculiar city of San Jose!      It was massive, overwhelming and noisy! Just wanted to find my hotel and wait for my other travelling partners. It seems that the air on the flight was rather stale and now my th…

Again travelling solo. From Costa Rica up to Mexico. Was meant to work on a turtle reserve in Costa Rica but had my bag stolen on the bus on the way there so everything changed. Met some great people, mainly American. My favourite Country was Guatemala. Very diverse and was good to see the traditio…

Welcome to my Travel Blog. I will be travelling from Vancouver on the 16th of April with a short stopover in Santa Barbara then on to Guatemala on April 19th and then by land south to Argentina and flying out of Rio de Janeiro Brazil on August 27th.

Spending as little time in this city as possible, we got a cheap hotel and caught any early flight out, arriving back in Wash DC on a nice sunny Saturday.  What a beautiful country and something I looked back fondly on, especially in the coming weeks, as the the beautiful weekend led to a beau…
