I've been lazy in San Jose. Spending some time walking around town but didn't go to any of the planned excursions to local hills/ dormant volcanoes. Sometimes you just need to rest and book the next few weeks accommodation. That takes half a day.San Jose has a train! And it's a lot more organised and developed than other countries I've been travelling through. They have western style supermarkets here. It's a mix of American and Central American cultures but very different from the Central America to the North. It feels safer.
In the centre of town people rush about as they do in London. I've not seen behaviour like that for a while. But it's not as hot here either. Did I mentioned that everything in CR costs about the same as London? Or perhaps more. I asked my host why CR is so much more advanced that other nearby countries and she suggested it was down to not having wars, or the meddling of the United States government.
I'm waiting in 7-10 Bus terminal for the second time in three days. This time I'm killing time waiting for my 10am bus to Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, four hours away. Only four long distance bus rides to go until I'm done with Central American buses. Time spent on long distance buses so far: 74 hours. Joy.
