San Jose & Alajuela

📌 We spent the morning by a beautiful river as rather then get a public bus, we would wait for some of the group to complete activities in order to all get a private transfer. It also meant a free Casavo lunch, where Chloe enjoyed some more plantains. After a chill morning we made it into San Jose just after lunch.

📌 We wandered around San Jose with a few of the group, stopping for a nice cafe and then browsing some shops and sussing out the main areas. The city was a little chaotic, a little worn, but it was the first city we had been in for the whole month, so it was a new feel for Central America.

📌 We ended the trip in San Jose, it was a fun dinner at the brewery, everyone was in good spirits and Oscar gave a great farewell toast. It was a nice end to the trip. A very interesting group of people but in the end we all had bonded in some way, whether it was over shared cultural humour, frustration at customs or actually liking each other, we had enjoyed the trip and it always feels a little sad saying goodbye. We had a few drinks at dinner and sensibly ignored the desire to continue on with the group for more, a good move as we had a nice early 3.45am shuttle.

📌 We spent one more night around San Jose, staying in Alajuela after the jungle excursion. We relaxed, found a quick bite for dinner and then went to sleep around 8pm for our early wakeup at 3am 😬もっと詳しく
