Actually, we had the blog entry about Costa Rica almost finished it but the words were expensive and American before so many times that we wanted to revise the text again by us on other things that we this country experienced to concentrate. We visited San Jose, Jaco, Manuel Antonio, Puerto Viejo, with the introduction applies equally to all locations. The living was everywhere 2-3 times as high as in the states before and we did not speak English, English .. as would be the national language Regarding the prices we told an American (what a well as usual.) that it has increased dramatically in the last 2-3 years. Let's hope this trend does not stop!
when to cross the border into Costa Rica we saw something special. The procedure itself lasted the same length as anywhere else, but you can decide if all passengers are searched, or pay a dollar. Since the bus had been delayed, the bus attendant decided to collect from all the people a dollar, so that we can cross the border police. Although some suggested on about it, because they depend on seemingly every dollar we found it but still cozy, instead of providing everything from search, is the journey moving forward more quickly. Smugglers ahoy!
The scenery and above all the beaches in Costa Rica are breathtaking. First, you drive a bus through dense jungle, but hundreds of plant and animal species that can be considered and suddenly opened itself to the jungle and a beautiful beach lies ahead. In the mountains it also has a wonderful view over the green hills, which occur in plants in all colors. this time of year, it is extremely hot. When we were at the beaches, we spent the most time in the water, which, though very warm wasr. On the bright sunlight, however, one of the sweat ran down in torrents, so that even a 25 degrees is warm sea cooling. 
The capital, San José was nothing special, so we spent just one night there since we have been able to travel until the next day. Most restaurants that exist in this metropolis are KFC, McDonalds, Burger King and Pizza Hut .. We met in Costa Rica hardly cool people, except for a witty Englishman, who also complained mainly about the prices. He then at least we could still give good tips because he already plays for several months traveled Colombia and Ecuador. One set we had particularly memorable: "In Ecuador, booze is sooo cheap I was drunk all day ..!" This is to hear from an Englishman but a good sign!
A "Costa Rican" culture, we have not seen during the whole time, as all facilities in these places mainly by Americans, Germans and Swiss are operated. What then does not quite fit with the American-European standard, was that we saw in Costa Rica the first bus voltage. With a slight increase was suddenly nothing more, and then smoke it marked out of the engine, what did upset some tourism properly. After a short wait, but then came another bus the same society, which we then had to squeeze all purely standing, which seemed to us from Nicaragua but known. 
can highlight especially from the places you get to Puerto Viejo, as there all to make a hippie and a Rastafarian. These people do this but just to be cool and the prices and locations containing certain does not match one of these ideologies, so it was more cliché than seriousness, what we then rather than abstosste turns .. From there, we went across the border to Panama, which was special. You take the bus to Sixaola to the Costa Rican border post, the passport can be stamped and then you go walking over a rickety wooden bridge, in which one must be careful not to fall through the gaps in the river, to Panama. This was a decent test for Maesis fear of heights!
conclusion can we say that Costa Rica for individuals is not suitable at all. We could not stop us, thanks to the generous gift of Mischis Goetti Gotti and at least a few more days there than we would otherwise have done, thank you very much again for that! Those who travel to Costa Rica with a fat wallet, is determined to do wonderful holiday so far are a package holiday and you do not go to the people but because of the landscape there.
