Into Costa Rica

Enjoying some fresh Coconut after an arduous Border Crossing..

The bordercrossing from Panama to Costa Rica is supposed to be one of the better ones around here. Well after a lot toing and froing from one place to the next we managed to get it all done - in 3 hours...


Costa Rica has even more gringos than Panama. It is pretty but I don't plan to be here long. We have been following the Pacific coast at the moment with nice roads lined with rain forest and the ocean. Brad has been trying to get a new chain and sprockets for his bike which is proving very difficult. Tomorrow we are heading into the big bad capital city, San Jose, which we were trying to avoid. My Speedo stopped working after the boat trip and after taking the front wheel off tonight my suspicions were confirmed -- actually the whole sensor unit in the front wheel is completely jammed. don't know if I can fix it or will have to replace the whole unit, though don't know what I can do about it here in Central America... Maybe no Speedo (or odometer) til the States.
