Costa Rica - the adventure of just getting there

Jeremy and I decided to do something unusual this year for Christmas - we decided to go to Costa Rica and spend the holidays in the rainforest and on the beach. In order to get to where we wanted to go, it involved 4 flights and a rough and tumble taxi ride. We set off for Drake Bay, Costa Rica and after about 20 hours of travel, we had arrived! Here are some pictures.

This was the size of the plane for the 4th flight. Thankfully it was only an hour long... it was definitely the smallest plane we had ever been on. 

And it was FULL!

We were in the back, but still had pretty tight quarters

Interesting view of Manuel Antonio - we were thinking about visiting there, but ended up staying the whole time in Drake Bay. 

The curve of land that you see in the middle of the picture -> DRAKE BAY -> Beautiful tropical rainforest and warm water. 

This was our landing strip for that teenie tiny plane

And this was the "airport terminal"

We are now on the taxi ride and yes, we are going over a river - hence the "rough and tumble" part from above. Many of the potholes in the road were as big as I was. 

And we have arrived at Drake Bay! 


Happy to not be traveling any more! 


Treating ourselves to some smoothies

Such a pretty view! More to come tomorrow!
