wet wet wet in Costa Rica

Yes it is the wet season. Yes it rains here everyday. Yes, we get wet, very wet, every day.

But still I manage to forget about my passport and documents which I put in one of my coat pockets after another Police Checkpoint. The bike docs seems alright. Most of my passport seems ok, with a few smudged stamps. Unfortunately the only really unreadable one is the one I need to exit Costa Rica..

Even though it is wet we decided to punish ourselves and go to Monteverde to check out the cloud forests. Yeah, clouds usually mean rain, I know.

Typical hotel scene at the moment, trying to dry everything out. A useless gesture...


Splurged out on a Zip line canopy tour. Basically flying foxes through the forest canopy and across the valleys, the longest one being around 700m! There was also this huge tarzan style swing which was pretty exhillarating. A bit like the old tree swing we made back home as a kid but then 10 times bigger...

Hi Bruce,
Thanks for the birthday email. We had a great day and the school holidays have been good - lots of semi sleep ins and no lunches to make! It has been rather wet and cold. Those tropical islands sound great - wouldn't mind seeing (and experiencing)them! Hope all continues to go well. Love, Leonie(on behalf of the rest of the family)ps we have your motorbike as our background and even Sharon and Liana know that that is Uncle Bruce's motorbike.

Yay for zip-lining through the cloud forests at Monteverde! Charlene and I did that on our crazy Costa Rican tour :) Hope you had as much fun as us!
