I left Santiago, Chile on 10 April with a sad heart, cos I had finished my travels in South America, and I had actually no idea what I was to do or see or visit in Costa Rica, I came here because my flight had a stopover here, so had decided to visit this country. When I first arrived San Jose, I wanted to get out of the city fast, next day early in the morning, I took the morning bus to La Fortuna, to see the active Volcanoe Areanal, but was quite disappointed, cos only get to see speck of rocks fell over the Volcanoe, not like what I had experience in Volcanoe Pacaya (Guatemala) we saw the the actual red hot burning lava right in front of us. But in La Fortuna, I had fun with the 6 Norwegien chickas travellers. After 3 days, I went to Montevede, the cloud forest to do the 21 canopy zip line and amazing tarzan swing. It was so much excitement and I enjoyed the Tarzan swing so much so that my heart almost pop out. Went to the frog farm, never expect what i was seeing, so many species, as tiny as 1 cm, skin as transparent and smooth as glass. It was a learning experience. Next, I head to the Pacific Coast beaches in Manuel Antonio and the beach here is like a paradise, the walk in the forest by the beach was great. But I spent the most part of my time in Puerto Veijo, the Carribean beaches, I like it here, is very different, many of the blacks live here, is a laidback, rustic, nature feel. Camp in this cool Rocking J hostel, doing practically nothing on certain days, cycled to the other beaches nearby, did diving and watch video. Afterall, Costa Rica is still a nice place ot visit and there are many American tourist here, so many of the locals do speak some English.
