We've Arrived in Costa Rica!



So it seems the airport is not really in the big city of San Jose and the car rental is not *really* at the airport. The Dollar car rental hombre navigated us through the crowds of taxi thieves and to his partner with a van. They whisked us around the airport ways, and past countless metal scrap yards until the Dollar rental sign popped up in an industrial area. How are we ever supposed to find the way back here?

"Would you like a GPS?" - No Thanks. (This could be the biggest mistake of the trip?) More to follow for sure!

The drive north was a bit confusing to say the least but we were on an adventure. The road was filled with potholes, hills, valleys and other cars going twice as fast. Yikes! This is the parking lot of the Poas Volcano Lodge.

Check out this video of the room overlooking the volcano.
