Costa Ricans, the Ticos, say "Pura Vida" in many different situations and it's always true as you're always surrounded by fantastic
nature, amazing wildlife and a really relaxed atmosphere.
We slept on the beaches again and were woken up by scarlet macaws and cappuchin monkeys. After all the heat in Central America we
really enjoyed a few wonderfully breezy nights up in the mountains and at the volcano Irazu.
And sometimes you just cross a bridge and spot loads and loads of crocodiles...
One of our highlights was the Rio Celeste. The locals say when god painted the sky he cleaned his brushes in this river. What a
nice saying, isn't it? The more as you can really believe it's true when you see the amazing colours.
A highlight for my diver-drivers also seemed to be the dive-sites around the Parque Nacional Corcovado. I needed all my skills to
get us there. Six river crossings and roads so steep I had to switch on my low-gear-special-features. As a reward they gave me a beach-front-parking-space where I could watch the scarlet
macaws in the palm trees above me all-day-long. I really enjoyed this nice break after that exhausting drive so I was fine with my drivers switching to a boat for a couple of
days.
We are really sad to leave Costa Rica behind us but we have only two weeks left until I start my big boat journey to South
America.
