La Cruz > Quepos, Costa Rica – 330km

What a fabulous days’ ride, I am loving Costa Rica – for a start it sounds so exotic!!  Lots of farmland, not so populated, some time on the coast, reasonable roads, rainforest.

First glimpse of Costa Rica’s coastline, love to hear the sound of the waves.

Didn’t expect to see these, highrise hotels – this coast is a tourist hotspot

This is Steven, a Canadian on a tour in Costa Rica, and he owns a Tenere – he and Charlie hit it off talking bikes and trips.  Nice to meet you Steven, you and your wife should come see us NZ sometime!!

Rainforest right to the edge of the road

Or palm trees

Some big houses around here, and also some very nice looking resorts – this is a private entrance

Whatever they were playing, it went on for hours with new people taking a spot when someone else left

Watched the sunset over dinner, beautiful

Thunderstorm clouds were definitely all around us tonight, but no rain.
