We arrived in La Fortuna around 2.30pm after a very hot and sweaty 4 and half hour local bus ride. As usual they overcrowd the buses but that is half the fun, watching the locals get on and off with s
hopping , kids and whatever else they can carry on. We have been surprised , the Costa Ricans as a whole seem to be fairly well off. The scenery is speccy to say the least .It is a very mountainous country , roads are pretty good... but I would like them a little wider thank you very much. Again Nick and I are 20 to 30 years older than the other 7 with us.The tour leaders are also much younger.We are lucky to have two leaders, one is training. 3 guys and the rest girls...... well I don't know what else they would be. Great group from Ireland,England and the States.Now the best part of today ... as we drove into our town we spotted the Volcano Arenal. Boy was I excited, even more than the Pyramids I can't describe how we felt as we walked around the town and everywhere we looked was the Volcano, looming out from under the clouds.When you get to see the photos you will see what we saw . It is the most active Volcano in Costa Rica. Smoke was coming out the top of the crater. Awesome!!!!Tonight we are going to the Hot Springs to watch the Lava flow. We are having beer and pizzas pool side.Someone has to do it.
