first impressions

So I’ve made it! After about 30 hours of traveling by train, plane, bus and ferry I finally arrived in Santa Teresa! And if each place has a certain color that belongs, Green certainly is Costa Rica’s color (why I find it strange their national flag is blue, white and red?!)

The scenery is amazing, just driving through the country makes you feel like you are driving through one huge national park – or a tremendously huge waterfall! For the last 12 hours it has been raining non-stop and from what the sky looks like, there will be no end to it soon. But apart from being kind of stuck in the hostel (if you don’t want to get completely soaked) it actually is a welcome cool-down from last night’s hot humidity…

I’ve already met some really nice people and seen some huge lizards, small bats, big and colorful birds and a horse roaming free on the beach… Can’t wait to see what I will discover next!
