Just a quick post to say that San Jose has been lots of fun, we visited the national museum and learned about the original native Costa Ricans, the invasion of the Spanish and then Costa Rican independence, well... I learned about it and Sam and Will lost interest half way through.
San Jose is a sprawling city with lots of shoe shops!! Weird isn't it but there are lots of shoe shops here, it's very cosmopolitan and very busy compared to where we have come from. The strangest thing is walking into shops and hearing Christmas music and seeing all the decorations up - honestly we haven't even thought about Christmas yet, it's like living in a time warp.
The hotel is very nice and it is absolute luxury having a bath every night, last night me and Will had a 'date' and sat in the bar and drank a bottle of red whilst Sam was in bed watching a film, very romantic!! Actually we missed Sam lots and came to bed and jumped on him (poor Sam!)
Today has been really stressful as we tried to book accommodation in Peru. Because we are travelling close to the weekend all the mid range price places are booked and it's really not as cheap as you would think to book accommodation in Lima, it's actually cheaper to book a hotel in San Jose. But finally we found a place called the Casa Bella Boutique Hotel and we are booked in there for 2 nights, we fly tomorrow at 10:30 so have to be up by 6am so I leave you with a picture from the Waterfall at Montezuma... good night all. x
Oh I'm so glad you found somewhere! I thought the Casa Bella Boutique Hotel looked ok, and it seemed reasonably priced through Expedia, compared to the others. Poor Sam. Laid in bed, minding his own business, and you two drunks come in and leap on the poor lad. I bet he hated that! Not! It looks like you have had a really nice time in San Jose. I thought you would. But then you always did like a nice hotel, didn't you. (g)
ReplyDeleteLove you lots,

I see that Casa Bella is close to the airport in Lima. Just to let you know that it is also close to a golf course. Might be nice to take time out and have a round if it's affordable.

Seriously sounds like great fun and glad you made it to the posh hotel.
