Hey everyone, after the longest 11 hour flight I arrived in San Jose on Monday evening. My hostel is great, loads of hammocks around the pool to chill out in! Tuesday I wandered round San Jose, loads of goodies to buy in the markets - I've already bought a bag! San Jose reminds me of Mexico City - its very busy and there's loads of maniac drivers around. There are some beautiful parks but a few rough bits too. Yesterday I went to Volcano Arenal which was about a 3 hour drive from San Jose. We drove through Cloud Forests and rainforests which was such a contrast to the hustle and bustle of San Jose. We had a traditional Costa Rican dish called casado for lunch - chicken, rice, sweet potato, fried egg and fried plantain. Then I spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying cocktails in the hot springs! Ciao for now xx
