Das war einmalig. 5 Wochen nur für mich in Costa Rica. Wunderschönes Land. Auf jeden Fall die Reise (und manche Mühe) wert. Würde ich es wieder so machen? Ja! Alles selbst zu...

Only for me for 5 weeks. It was beautiful, it was good. A little bit of everything. The last few days were very calm. I couldn't visit Manuel Antonio Park. The booking system...

Spent a lot of time in the hammock reading these past few days. Perfect for recovering from sunburn. The supermarkets in town and the Reggae Bar next door provided me with the...

Actually just right here, if I hadn't gotten this great sunburn while snorkeling. Silly me. The long-sleeved swim shirt has SPF 50, but you still need to put sunscreen on your...

In the Caribbean. Sounds great. Sounds like luxury. But it's not always. For example, when the accommodation turns out to be a dump despite the beautiful pictures on the...

Yesterday and today there were many kilometers. Yesterday by foot, today by car. My hike to the Platanar volcano was challenging but beautiful. 3 hours up, 3 hours down. From...

So off to the rainforest. Wrong, in Monteverde it's called Cloud Forest because 80% of the 2.5 m rainfall / year doesn't fall vertically but horizontally from the clouds. That's...

I'm feeling better again! Why is that? The last 48 hours have been a real roller coaster ride. In order... The dancing was so much fun that I went out again on my last night in...

Things don't always go as planned. A few days ago, I changed my jungle hikes based on recommendations. Now, I'm following a schedule of staying in Monte Verde, La Fortune, and...

Yesterday didn't go any further. I made a mistake and booked 4 nights instead of 3. That's what happens when you have no idea what date and day of the week it is. Well, if...

The last two days were pure relaxation. Yesterday at the pool, today on the surrounding beaches. The room next door is occupied by Michael, an American from Houston, Texas. He...

What a great two days. Yesterday, I went to a birdwatching tour provider around 11:00 and asked if there was anything available for the same day. Fate had brought me here. Two...

My first sunset. I missed yesterday's. Still good. In general, I am more relaxed, something like a routine is setting in. First laundry day, shopping, swimming, siesta.... The...

On the go. I should take out the camera now for taking pictures. There are plenty of motifs. Yesterday I took over my car. And the additional insurance had to be, they drive...

San Jose, or SJO for short, also embodies the pride of the Ticos (Costa Ricans). Proud of history, of their own success, and of diversity. The guided tour of the National...

First impression: wild and barren. Second impression: barricaded, every house with bars and fences, often barbed wire. Third impression: endearingly quirky. Just different from...

Done. It's me. 12 hours of flight are quite exhausting for me. Although we didn't have any turbulence and everything went smoothly. The wait at customs was also minimal. The...

Stay at the Capsule Hotel at Zurich Airport. Great decision. The Deutsche Bahn had a total delay of 1 hour today. And it was too hot for me tomorrow. No safe connection to be...

Die Planung steht. Mit dem Zug nach Zürich, kurze Übernachtung am Flughafen im Capsule Hotel und dann morgens ab in den Flieger. Es geht direkt nach San Jose. Ein paar Tage zum...

Also erstmal planen. ...
