Homeward Bound - Lost in Time

Up at 5am ready for a day of travel and crazy time zone hopping! The plan is today (Sunday) a 5hr 15min flight San Jose to Toronto, 3hr 10 layover, then a 7hr 30min flight, and arrival of 6.35am (Monday) London time!
That’s 16 hour travel -7hour time difference… I’ll never understand how we arrive the next day 😂🤯

Anyway, an eventful morning - the car wouldn’t start again, so we said our sad goodbyes to Dom (who will probably be glad to not have socks, cameras and various belonging strewn across his accommodations, but secretly miss us really) to continue his adventures. Luckily we only had a 10 minute Uber to the airport.
The car has generally been really good, 2 hiccups aside - very impressed to tot up the fuel yesterday - all those miles driven we only spent £100 in fuel! Overall a convenient, comfortable and economical way to get around… when it works!

Everything went smoothly in the airport (apart from me dropping my passport and boarding pass down the toilet 😂 - retrieved but soggy) and we were pleased to have a window seat this time, so we could admire the volcanic vistas before disappearing into the clouds. Time seemed to pass quickly on the flights… (whether opting to finally watch Lord of the Rings had something to do with it?) and everything as smooth as can be. It was amazing to see sunset in Canada and sunrise in London. We were pretty tired on the 4hr drive from Heathrow to Yorkshire (back for lunchtime) and Rach then made it back to North Wales.
I know when we’ve recovered from the journey we’ll remember Costa Rica as an amazing place, and this special adventure...Pura Vida!Lue lisää
