This morning I was supposed to meet Maria at the beach at 8am again, but I just did not move very quickly so I ended up catching the 8am bus and got there at 8:30. I could not find Maria anywhere so I sat in the shade for a while and read [...]

Got on the 7:30am bus again and it was not too crowded today – yeah! Maria got on the same bus and we went and got her breakfast. We then went to the Manuel Antonio National Park (my 3rd time) and it was freaking full with the damn tourists. Notice [...]

Got up and had breakfast. Romy gives you fruit, granola, eggs and toast and it was all great. Ralf and I then decided to go to the frog exhibit that we can see from our windows. The exhibit was alright but since we were there during the day, the frogs [...]
