Liberia – San Jose

It turns out noises in the night do wake me up, especially when it sounds like it’s someone on top of the roof removing things and then passing them down. A strange night’s sleep. I was up pretty early with the plan of heading to the Nicoya peninsula. It’s a very pretty part of Costa [...]

Berea -> Lexington

I awoke to find quiet in the Beichler household. Andy had already gone to work, and the rest of the family weren’t stirring. It put me in a situation where I was going to be heading out without saying goodbye which I always hope to avoid. I delayed my exit for a while, but with [...]

I’d got a pretty miserable nights sleep as mosquitoes had seemingly decided that I was the most delicious thing in the area. I’d normally take that as a compliment but I had far too many bites and my feet in particular were covered and had swollen up. I’d tried out a bug bar that Mike [...]

Having got minimal sleep, neither C nor I were really that energetic in the morning. The rain had stopped and the sky was clear which was great, except it meant that it was cold and my hands turned quite icy while taking my tent down. We had some of my buffet leftovers and then rode [...]

It was the 4th of July and we were eager to make it back to the US as it was Independence Day. I had been hoping to head off early to ensure that it would happen, but that wasn’t too happen. C was needing to visit a doctor to get a prescription for some antibiotics [...]
