Another beach of black sand. Not a pretty beach but does have a river that you can kayak up.

On the move and strange trip!!!
November 26, 2024 in Costa Rica ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C
We moved about 10kms to Puerto Viejo. It is the largest tourist town on the Caribbean coast. This apartment is off the main road and we needed to go to an ATM so we got an Uber. The place was hard to find and suddenly the windscreen broke!!! A large iguana fell from a high tree and landed on the car!! The poor iguana looked stunned, but soon scrambled away. The poor taxi driver had a very badly shattered screen and a huge dent in the bonnet.Read more

BAck in Cahuita
November 30, 2024 in Costa Rica ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C
We tried to stay and extra night or two at Viejo, but can't find a nice place. We leave in a few days so we moved back to Cahuita for a few nights before heading back to San Jose and home.

There was a big procession in the town to herald the turn on of the Xmas tree lights!!!Read more

Can you believe this!!!!
December 2, 2024 in Costa Rica ⋅ 🌧 22 °C
Well what about this.

Booked our fare from Cahuita to San Jose yesterday for 9:30 this morning. While waiting for the bus a guy announced that the road had collapsed and the bus was heading further north to take a different route and therefore it would take 2 hours longer. Also, as we had only paid for the shorter route we now had to pay an extra 5USD because we are taking a longer route!!! I did question why are we being charged to make a detour we didn't want or ask for, and was told to check the T&C. So we paid.

Now it gets better.

An hour into the journey we make a schedule stop and upon leaving the driver announces that the original route is now open and the journey can continue as scheduled, but you don't get your money back!!!

Can you believe this shit!!! Even Ryanair couldn't have dreamed this one up!!!Read more
Brilliant. Thats Costa Rica logic I suppose. They make the rules. Looks as though its been an eventful trip. Safe journey home Mike [David]

Last night
December 3, 2024 in Costa Rica ⋅ 🌧 23 °C
Back safely back in Alajuela. In a wonderful hotel!! Had a evening in town and saw some pretty Xmas lights and had a Mexican meal.

Last day and got a very early flight (6am) so not going to be much of a last evening.

We arrived Heathrow at 7am Thursday so booked train from St Pancreas to Mansfield for 11:30 and hopefully 5 hours is enough time to catch it. The train was £15 cheaper than national express bus, which only goes to Nottingham. They do like to rip you off at airports. Fingers crossed all goes well!!Read more
