Costa Costa Rica

Happy to report the boat trip back to the mainland from Ometepe was leaps and bounds better than the trip there. Bagged spaces on the top deck; so less splashing and far less vomming. Fairly civilised in comparison. 


Long journey to Costa Rica- 3 hour border crossing with a hairy moment when Vik was almost not let into the country because of broken page in her passport. In the end she had to resort to some super glue and sneaking to a new window and a new official, praying that the previous guy didn't spot her. 

Arrived in one piece. Costa Rica dramatically different to its neighbours -a far more western and built up country and prices probably even more steep than home. $6 for a frappe?!

In the hills in Monteverde which is green and lush and significantly cooler. Not to have your insides feel like they are at boiling point and your breath not dissimilar to a dragons is a very welcome feeling. 



R&R day today; walked the steep path to town, laughed at the extent of the boys bakery breakfast, got a coffee in a tree house, chatted to some dogs and read my book.  


















We're going to see what 'Bar Amigos' has to offer tonight
then off to La Fortuna tomorrow. Till then.
