  • Today we tour Costa Rica and the town of Puntarenas. We tour the jungle on hanging brides and took a boat tour to view crocodiles and other amazing fauna. We end our day with an amazing local meal and incredible dessert on the streets of Costa Rica. All the while our tour bus had no air conditioning! Overall we had a great time touring Costa Rica!

    OMG for the bus situation! As someone that gets heat stroke, I'm so glad you had water and were able to open the window! I'm so sorry to hear that someone on the tour wasn't feeling well. It sounds like it was definitely not a tour for everyone. I have to say, I love the little nature segments that you're doing with the music behind, beautiful and relaxing! I had a busy couple of weeks, so I'm finally getting to watch this and that part was like a breath of fresh air! Thank you, as usual for sharing and hope you're enjoying your sea days on your way to Indonesia!

    Guanacaste has it all. Remote beaches. Amazing wildlife literally outside your window. Whales with their young. Take trips booked with the locals. Our white water rafting was amazing. Just my daughter and I with a local guide. They share their homes and you see the real beauty. I've been to both coasts. Northern Pacific coast of Costa Rica is definitely more diverse. We had a 13 hour flight from UK but still rebooked to go back 2 years later. So much to see. 😍😍

    We did a cruise a few years ago that took us to Puerto Limon, Costa Rica. It was so dirty and poverty stricken. We took a tour out to a banana plantation and a river cruise where we saw sloths in the trees. That part was nice, but the port itself on the Caribbean side was, well, awful ... and sad.

Therefore we are very grateful that you share your experience and give us a lite insight of this world cruise. We very much appreciate both your nice videos and photos but also your stories and honest opinions of all your experiences from the ports and the cruise.
