Home in a backpack: Costa Rica 02-05/02/16

How to get there: After sleeping in the border, we managed to get a bus going to San Jose in the morning for USD20 each.
Arriving to Costa Rica: We decided to book a hotel outside the city centre with a view as we had had enough of the city life in Panama. The hotel used to be a Best Western but now it's just a hotel with a panoramic view of the city where most couples just come for the night *cough*. We paid around USD30 per night and had breakfast included.

San Jose is a super friendly messy city. Everyone has by motto "pura vida" which literally means pure life and it does represent the way everyone seems to do life here.
The centre of the city hasn't got much to see, but if you're still interested on going there, avenue 2 is a good option to walk around as there are museums, theatres, churches and a market place to visit. Shopping is cheap, so if you need some new clothes, this is the place to get them, even though the quality is not great.
We decided to use our time in San Jose at Alajuelita enjoying the panoramic view of the town, we also met with Oscar, who we were meant to Couchsurf with, but couldn't due to personal reasons which we are glad are sorted.
This is all about Costa Rica, we didn't spend enough time to do a longer blog about it, however we are keen on coming back and seeing more of the country with plenty of time.
