I have no doubt that Costa Rica is a beautiful country but both Matt and I are going to have to take the word of people who've seen it without torrential rain, mist and cloud in their field of vision. Forty kms south-east of San Jose we took the decision to take cover from a Bergen-style downpour and happened across a real gem of accommodation 2000m metres up in the Costa Rican Highlands. We had to negotiate a steep descent on a muddy track awash in water but the end result was one of the more memorable overnighting stops, not least because I didn't have to spend the night in the same room as Matt! I also dropped my bike, whilst not even sitting on it, thus taking the score in the fall-down stakes to 5-3 (Stuart-Matt). It was also possible to park both bikes in the living room, which is something that should not be saved solely for transcontinental motorcycling adventures. Maintenance and listening to the rain was all we could muster this evening. Hopefully the weather will improve for the remaining two days of our Central American experience. We should be in Panama City on the evening of Wednesday 5th November, innshallah!
