Day 1

Providence-->Boston-->Miami-->San Jose, CR-->Puntarenas, CR I took the 8:10pm Commuter Rail train from Providence to Boston where I was met by Jason--we took the Orange Line T to his dorm and then we hung out with his crazy roommates for a while. I was way tired so while they partied, I took...

The Final Farewell

So here I am, back in Tranquillo Backpackers, immersing myself in frantically typing up my route over the past few months and trying not to dwell on the fact that I am again all alone and boyfriendless for at least the next four months. Boohoo! Tomorrow still seems rather unreal - South...

The End of the Beginning

In San Jose we settled into Tranquillo Backpackers - a nice hostel in a less than nice part of town. Our guide book warned us that it was a booming red-light district by night, but even when we arrived early evening, the hostel manager was horrified to see us leave the car unattended - "Go,...

La Fortuna

From Monteverde we made our way to nearby La Fortuna to soak in some Hot Springs and trek up to a nearby waterfall - another hot and sweaty slog, but definitely worth it. The falls were beautiful, sitting in a self-carved corner which glittered with spray in the sunlight and glowed green with...

Zippity Doo Da

Our next stop, high in the cloudforest, was the strange little town of Monteverde. Founded by Quakers for dairy production, it had an Alpine feel to it only enhanced by the weather, which found us in shoes, jeans, jumpers and raincoats for the first time in what felt like forever. It was...

The Beginning of the End of the Beginning

After a few more days unwinding, and after a great result in the rugby (how bitter my travelling companions were) we decided it was about time to head on to Costa Rica so we aimed for Tamarindo, a well known surf spot on the Pacific Coast. Arriving there felt not at all like arriving in a...

You take the high road... and we'll take the slow road... actually, you broke it... better get a new one

So after four days of indulgent comfort (well for me anyways... Chris of course being a large dermal scratch zone), we left Quepos to go to the high country to track down the most beautiful bird in the world (marketers eat your heart out) - the "Resplendent Quetzel". Now the Quetzel is the...

Its sooo hot... and itchy...

So we've now confirmed that we don't get to take home the personal concierge. Chris is OK with this, but is a little disappointed that the little waiting boys also aren't a permanent part of the package. This is a fourth night at Gaia (www.gaiahr.com) and it is also confirmed that this is...

Crocs and Cocktails

So Crispy made peace with attack parrot, I think it knew she was leaving and took pity on her. So far the Bula Bula Lodge has been the most idylic place we have seen. However, the place we checked into today (www.gaiahr.com) if not as idylic, is certainly the spankiest. We are now the proud...
