Our final few days in Latin America were to be spent in the bustling capital of Costa Rica, San José. We weren’t there to do any sightseeing we were just staying in a hotel with three pools and a hot tub for the few days apart from one day where we did some museums....
After about an hour in the car we arrived at San Jose. We were staying at a really nice hotel that had three pools and a hot-tub! We arrived late afternoon and checked into our room! Me and Lottie were sharing a bed and so were my mum and dad but it was a lovely room....
San Jose was to be our home for our final few days in Costa Rica, quite fitting in many ways, to prepare us for the next leg of our adventure, California. It also signalled the half way point in our trip. We started our Latin America adventure back in Buenos Aires...
It was a beautiful if at times slightly bumpy (standard Costa Rica roads) drive today up over the green hills (looked a bit like home at times) and down alongside Arenal Lake to the town of La Fortuna. The lake was man made in the 70s with a damn to generate...

Our next travel day didn’t start until ten in the morning because we were in the sea doing body boarding. Once we were on the road with two hours left became four hours as we got stuck in traffic from a car crash for an hour and a half since we had brought lunch with...
We managed to squeeze in one final beach body boarding session before we had breakfast, packed up the car and headed off from our Matapalo Beach love affair. Katie was especially sad to say farewell to our pet sloth and the numerous Iguanas living in the garden. Our...
We must have got used to the roads, bumping our way back from Drake’s Bay to the main road heading to our next stop felt nowhere near as bad as the way out! A few hours west and we left the Osa Peninsula and arrived at Matapalo, a tiny little place on the coast with a...
