Arrival in Costa Rica


San José, Costa Rica

Flight from Hawaii, 5 hours to Los Angeles. Waited for a delayed flight at LAX for like 8 hours. Flew to Miami for 5 hours, waited at Miami Int for 5 hours, got on the plane to San Jose, Costa Rica and arrived with the greatest Jet Lag so far. But it´s great to be travelling ;-)

Met up with my good friend Lars and his girlfriend Annika at the airport. Annika was leaving home for Sweden the same day I arrived so Lars had to say goodbye to the girl he has been travelling around with for 4 months. But the good thing is that he´s getting 2 weeeks with me ;-.) 

We don´t have any exact plans what we´re gonna do here and thats so nice. All this time I´ve always had something to do and plans to follow. Now I just want to relax and take everyday as it comes. The only thing we have planned is to stay here in San Jose for two nighs and then move east and then into Panama.

This is my second time here in Costa Rica and Panama aswell actually. I was here two and a half years ago and loved it so it´s great to be back. I want to see some places I visited before but also some new places. I only have 2 weeks so I´ll try making the best out of the situation. 

I´ll keep you posted, hopefully, it depends on the internet connection as I go, I´ll try my best, promise.

So here´s the first two days in San Jose, Costa Rica....

Me, working to provide you with the best updates....

Tomorrow morning we´re getting on a bus to Puerto Viejo, a beautiful place on the east side, not far from the borders of Panama. San Jose is not a city with the best personality so you don´t want to stay here longer than necsessary, thats my meaning anyway.

Hasta Luego todos, Pura Vida !
