Costa Rica – Hallowe’en

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

We’ve made it! We have arrived in San Jose in one piece with all our luggage. The flight was long and full of American tourists. Put it this way, a lady of certain years was a couple of rows in front of us and I found it so hard not to stare – her ears were halfway down her cheeks she had so many facelifts. Her lips were huge and eyes looked scarily detached. Hallowe’en mask indeed!

I had my bag close to me at all times but the airport was busy and chaotic. A guy behind us just made me very aware – I am sure he was scouting out the tourists but maybe I am just suspicious. Hostel in only 5 mins away and all houses here seem to have bars on the windows which does nothing to help the image.

Hola!

Hi – It has been a while as I can´t geta connection to upload my doary pages and photos but will do so soon A quick recap…….

Maui was fantastic – we also went surfing up the extinct Haleakala, Road to Hana, snorkelling with turtles – wow!

We are in Costa Rica at the moment in MonteVerde and it is very wet……..highlights so far have included the bus journey here in the dark on the bumpiest road you can imagine – across raging rivers and over potholes the size of windows. Went into the rainforest today and have seen all manner of bugs and birds.

Will catch up soon!
