Tico Time.....

Hola...Hola...

So our adventure continues in amazing Costa Rica..

We begin our journey at 6am from San Jose and hope to head to Monteverde by 11am.
That's right..another 5 hour bus ride but I'm sure it's worth it to see the forest in the clouds !!!

So the bus makes various stops along the way, people get in and out and we are enjoying the ride. Little did we realise, before we know it, we see signs for San Jose!!!!! What!??!! When did the bus turn around...hehehehe..

In our broken spanish, and frantic expressions, we manage to stop the bus by a roadside cafe. The time is now 9am. So..with further broken spanish we understand that we can wait for another bus to Monteverde.

...So it's now 9.45 and we are considering calling a taxi for the rest of the ride. Thanks to some kind english speaking waiters and an hour later with the addition of 3 phone calls, a taxi arrives on tico time.

All I have to say is my mother will be proud of my patience and my conversion into Tico Time!!
