So with Lost & Found & the accompanying flora & fauna but a distant memory & after a thoroughly forgettable stop in a small coastal town called Quepos where it rained the entire time, we decided to head towards the beautiful beaches of Montezuma. After 3 hours on a bus in the pouring rain we decided that beaches in the rain kinda suck so we should embrace the climate & head into the rainforest (after all it's right there in the title).

After all the delay/transfer nonsense & losing a day but gaining two extra countries in our travel log we finally reached Costa Rica to be greeted by our first taste of the tropical beasts that await us, Cocker spaniel named Curro. Quick overnight in a hostel & an early start had us back on the road,...
