Where the South American adventure ends, the Central American adventure begins ...

My last few days in BA where enjoyable. Monday was spent wondering around town and the Japonese gardens (because when in Argentina, you must visit a Japonese garden right?). We wondered back to the hostel and got ready for what would be my last time at La Bomba. It wasn´t as good this week. Maybe because I´ve been 3 times now and there´s only so much you can get out of a drum show! After La Bomba, we went back to the hostel for drinks. Tuesday was my last day in BA, was spent lazing around and buying last second gifts. In the evening, we went to Voz Tango show. It was really good, we had a 3 course meal with wine and then there was a tango show with singers. Loved it! We got back to the hostal at about midnight and had drinks with everyone until I had to leave for my flight to Costa Rica. My flight was at 6.15 am so we stayed up drinking beers until 3.30am when I got a taxi. I got to the airport only to find out that due to fog, planes were not landing in the airport! Great! I couldn´t understand anything that was going on because they were speaking so fast and everybody was fighting there way forward to get answers to there many questions. I finally found out my flight would leave at midday and I was very upset! I was hungry and tired and just wanted to get on the plane! They gave us breakfast in one of the cafes, which was 2 croissants and coffee. I headed back to the check in desks to find out anymore about the flights. And managed to get booked onto another flight to Lima, Peru. From where I got a second flight to San Jose, Costa Rica. The first flight was with LAN, which was so nice, we had breakfast and our own personal screens. They have so many movies, tv shows and music. The second flight was with TACA, which was so nice but not bad. They gave us lunch (chicken curry which was really yummy) and we watched Gulliver´s Travels. I arrived in San Jose at 5pm and got a taxi to my hostel. The taxi was so expensive, it was 14000 Colones, which is about 17 pound! The hostal I stayed in was pretty cool but full of Americans! I was so tired and home sick I went to bed at 8.30 pm and slept right through to the morning! This morning, I went to the bakery close to the hostal for breakfast. I have scrambled eyes, rice and beans and plantain and a coffee (I´ve developped a tast for coffee on this trip!). It was really yummy! I also met 2 girls from California, with whom I´m going to Quepos, on the Pacific coast this afternoon.
