Hello All! I'll be guest blogging today on John´s blog... haha.
Yesterday, the 21st, I arrived in San Jose, Costa Rica at 5:30 a.m. in the morning! Fortunately Barber was there to meet me! We took a (semi shady) cab ride back to the hostel he had staid in the previous night.... The cab didn´'t have a meter but ended up only charging about $8. The hostel was a really nice single apartment that Barber had got on a discount because of a lack of other rooms.
Soon after arriving a man with a nice little kia SUV 4 by 4 pulled up to rent us a car... First of all I've never experienced a car rental agency BRINGING you the car... and second, allowing you to drop it off at your location of choice. haha. None the less... both happened and we rented the car for a cheep $246 a week plus insurance! When driving in Costa Rica (which I did all of due to being a stick shift) one should look out for... a) one lane bridges b) pedastrians and c) stray dogs... all of which are in abundance. haha.
We arrived safely in La fortuna after a lovely lunch at an Israel restaurant in the resort ¨Lands of Love...¨ Go figure! After much searching for a reasonable ¨single¨ room for the first night we stumbled upon a nice little cabin for $35 a night... including ac and tv!
Today we canoped across the jungle with a really good company that we highly recommend called Los Canyones. After a few (local) rum and cokes and pasta with tamales, corn, chicken, and garlic we are happily settled in our second hostel... for which we paid $20. Yay.
More with pictures as soon as we can add them!
