5 months after our wedding my newly wed husband and I embarked on the adventure of a life time to the wondrous world of Costa Rica! It was a long awaited honeymoon but it was certainly worth it and even more than we had ever imagined.
A colourful country full of flavors, lush landscapes, confidant creatures and vast beaches. Our plan involved a 14 day road trip from San Jose to Lake Arenal then on to the north west coast of Guanacaste. Followed by 4 days in the rainforest at Manuel Antonio National Park. Along the way we climbed through lava and up volcanoes, swam under natural waterfalls, bathed in hot springs, zip-lined through the jungle, surfed the waves and went spotting for wildlife! The don't call it the adventure capital of the world for nothing. There really is so much to see and do and the "Pura Vida" way of life is evident as you venture throughout.
The thing that struck me the most was how friendly, approachable and trustworthy the people are. I had heard so much about them but it really took my own experience to truly understand how magical these people are. Relaxed, caring, thoughtful and happy. I remember saying to my husband that there is just something about them. It is when you look in their eyes that you can really see the kindness.
The country and the people really touched me and Costa Rica is a place that one day I hope to return to. ♥
