Here we go! 😀✈️
After a great flight we arrived in Atlanta and got the shuttle downtown to our hotel. Lots of the buildings were impressive and we went for a long walk through the Centennial Olympic Park and round the neighbourhood to a lovely lively Italian.Baca selengkapnya

Arriving in Uvita Costa Rica
9 Juli 2023, Kosta Rika ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C
Having got our connecting flight from Atlanta we arrived in San Jose at lunch time. We picked up our hire car and drove 31/2 hours down the Pacific coast to Uvita. The scenery on the way was absolutely beautiful with mountains stooped in cloud, swollen rivers and palm trees lining the road for miles on end. The place we are staying at is an eco lodge way up the mountain - only reached in a 4x4 and surrounded by the rain forest. It’s amazing.Baca selengkapnya

Hari 3
Whale spotting
10 Juli 2023, Kosta Rika ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C
Having started the day with a delicious breakfast we set off in the distant hope of seeing humpback whales. We were extremely lucky to spot the first pair of the migrating humpbacks arriving from the antarctic- what a sight seeing them breaching around us - just amazing. Our trip also took us to some caves and swimming off the boat near to an island was a great end to a fabulous experience.
Uvita is famous for its whale tail shaped beach which is exposed at low tide and this is where we walked out to, seeing a flock of pelicans flying overhead too. We also saw a howler monkey, numerous raptors and frigate birds then headed back to our accommodation passing an iguana on the way, arriving just as the thunder, lightning and rain started and we settled down to a beer or two before bed.Baca selengkapnya

Hari 4
Snokelling Cano Island
11 Juli 2023, Kosta Rika ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C
What a day! We started early on a boat trip out to Canó Island. Once there we snorkelled off the boat for a couple of hours.
It was amazing. We saw so many bright and beautiful fish in all shapes and sizes. However, the absolutely best experience was seeing and swimming with so many Hawksbill turtles. They came up for air right in front of us. Near enough to touch - (which of course we didn’t try to do). 🐢
We then spent a bit of time on the island. The sand looked alive with scurrying hermit crabs. A real David Attenborough moment!
Drove back through the mountains and clouds back to San Jose.Baca selengkapnya

Poas Volcano
12 Juli 2023, Kosta Rika ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
Following a night of sleep interrupted twice by earthquakes we were up early again this morning and out for the day to visit Poas Volcano. Along the way we went to a coffee plantation and Lapaz Waterfalls and tropical gardens.
The active volcano was smouldering and bubbling away as we stood nearby. An unusual colour of eggshell blue it was stunning despite the strong smell of sulphur.
The gardens and waterfalls were fantastic with some beautiful Costa Rican wildlife.Baca selengkapnya

Pelancong That must have been one amazing day! The wildlife is so beautiful. That toucan thing looks spray painted😀. And the warning sign for the volcano does have the air of being hope over reality it it ever blew. Surely the sort of day that will live long in your memory.

Hari 6
Tortuguero
13 Juli 2023, Kosta Rika ⋅ 🌧 26 °C
We were up early yet again today to get our transfer over to the Caribbean coast. This involved a 3 hour drive and 1 1/2 hour boat ride through the canals until we reached Tortuguero. The Lodge is surrounded by beautiful gardens with many animals such as sloths, iguanas and toucan to name just a few. We followed the roar of the sea down to the beach with it’s crashing waves and dramatic sky. Tonight we went back to the same beach to witness the most amazing site of a Green sea turtle laying her eggs then covering and camouflaging them. She was a metre and a half long and her eggs a bit larger than a golf ball. We were in total darkness apart from an infrared torch and the lightning flashing across the sky. What a special experience which we will hold in our heads forever, as obviously no cameras were allowed.Baca selengkapnya

Tortuguero Day 2
14 Juli 2023, Kosta Rika ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C
After a late night we were kept awake by a thunder storm and heavy rain throughout the night. Out kayaking by 5:30am in the pouring rain was great fun and we spotted a two toed sloth, spider monkeys, white face capuchin monkeys, jakana, bear throated tiger heron, oropendola, and anhinga birds
Back for breakfast, then sat playing dominoes until the bar opened to avoid the rain!
When the rain eased we walked into Tortuguero and found a lovely Caribbean place for lunch on the waterfront.
Out for a boat trip followed by a night walk where we saw a variety of insects and amphibians such as: bullfrog, cane toad, stick insects, grasshoppers, crickets, bullet ants, red eyed frogs, golden orb spiders, black river turtle and golden arborio frog.
Time for another cocktail, dinner and then a well earned nights sleep- hopefully.Baca selengkapnya

La Fortuna
15 Juli 2023, Kosta Rika ⋅ 🌧 24 °C
Today was mostly spent travelling on the boat from Tortuguero, then bus to La Fortuna. We arrived just in time to join our night walk which was very different in this area compared to Tortuguero. We saw lots of snakes and insects including a green Walking stick and lots of different frogs as well as the iconic Red eyed tree frog.
Straight back to the hotel tonight as we are up early again in the morning.Baca selengkapnya

Today was wet, very wet, but it didn’t stop us. We started off on a walk through the tree canopy over hanging bridges with great views of the tree tops beneath us. Catherine then went zip lining! It was so much fun squealing through the 8 lines and then took on the Tarzan swing as well! 😬
We spent the afternoon walking around the town, then relaxed in the natural volcanic hot springs with various pools and temperatures. The cocktail was good too! Now sitting on a restaurant waiting for our bbq meat to arrive with a beer🍻Baca selengkapnya

Pelancong What halcyon days you two are enjoying! The rainy season really seems to be the time to go there - nature at it’s most vibrant. A walk in the woods back here will never quite seem the same. And more days to come!

La Fortuna day 3
17 Juli 2023, Kosta Rika ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C
Today we went to Arenal volcano and walked through the lava flows to the highest point allowed. On the way we saw lots of birds including a blue Jay and fly catcher, two Pacific screech owls and many insects including a gang of leaf cutter ants taking their leaves into a burrow of their enormous nest. We also saw Mariolas bees, who build a tube to fly into before entering their hive. We learnt some interesting facts about the most recent fatal volcanic eruption in 1968 which was caused by the spread of ash rather than the lava. Afterwards we went in search of sloths and spotted a baby three toed sloth having a good scratch whilst hanging from its tree. Given the torrential rain we then retreated to a bar to dry out and relax.Baca selengkapnya
