Costa Rica Wed 24 Nov 2010
We are spending most of today in a minibus. Before we leave at 8am, there is a treat for us all, a beautifully coloured woodpecker hopping around a tree just outside the Lodge.
The roads are not made up so the ride is very slow and bumpy. This has a positive aspect because the scenery is astoundingly beautiful as we descend from the mountains through, then out of, the rain forest into grassy rolling hillsides and finally cultivated fields on the plains.
We stop at a bridge over a wide muddy river to gawp at dozens of crocodiles lounging on the mudbanks. Some of them are very large indeed.
Our destination is Quepos on the Pacific coast, we arrive there mid-afternoon. After checking in, we walk the 2k into town where I am writing this. It is raining and the place looks a bit run down, but hopefully we will find something interesting to do.
all the Best,
John
