Monteverde, Costa Rica...adrenaline tapped!

Monteverde is a cloud forest area in the middle of Costa Rica, which took us 12 hours to get to from Montezuma, including 2 buses, 1 ferry and a taxi. It´s only about 150km in distance, but it was excruciating.

So we landed and hooked up with Scott & Alex again, having left Lenny & Catherine heading south. The canopy tour, a way to get from one tree to another on a zip line, was pioneered in Monteverde, and the tour we did had 18 zip lines and a tarzan swing (fear of heights = the whole flipping jungle heard me do that one!). It was too much fun, seriously.

We cooked up a storm in the hostel that night with Scott & Alex and lots of Imperial and giggle fits later, crashed out with the prospect of a 5am start for San Jose. No kidding, I haven´t been up later than 7am in about a month. It gets dark here at 6pm on the button every day so Central America wakes up with sunrise!!
