    Sacramento 🎸

    May 7, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Found yet another LFC supporters group 😂 Met the loveliest couple Inna & Ray who ended up secretly paying our bill! And gave us a lift to the punk festival! Loved them 💛 Festival was amazing! Craft beer, tonnes of great bands, and so much dancing that we can hardly move now 😂 Loved our very brief visit to Sacramento!Read more

    Tortuguero 🐒

    May 25, 2022 in Costa Rica ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    Travelled via a little motor boat to get onto Tortuguero island 🌴 The island is 99% national park, and 1% tiny village! We’re too early in the season for turtles sadly, but still saw an incredible amount of wildlife on an early morning boat tour. Greeted with fresh coconuts at our little apartments 🥥 really cutes hosts!Read more

    Puerto Viejo 🥥

    May 30, 2022 in Costa Rica ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    Our last week as a four, spent on the beautiful Caribbean coast in Puerto Viejo 🌴 Best weather we’ve had in Costa Rica so far 🌞 Travelling during the shoulder season has meant we’ve had a few rainy days here and there, but never too bad to stop us doing anything. No rain here though! Just what we all needed after such a busy couple of weeks - a week on the beach! Two gorgeous national parks either side of Puerto Viejo too, so lots of hiking again, saw wild sloths and monkeys 🐒 🥾 My favourite place so far without question! 🧡🙌🏼 Felt a little sad leaving as it means our time in Costa Rica is coming to an end! 😭 But we will most certainly be back 👍🏼Read more
