2. COSTA RICA - DRASTIC CHANGE


Sixaola-Bribri-Limon-San Jose 

After the last big grocery shopping in Panama, we crossed the border to Costa Rica. Costa-Rica is called 'Switzerland of Central America' because of 2 reasons: 1 its the safest country in Central America and 2. it's almost expensive like Switzerland! In general its also more developed and more influenced from American lifestyle so it's all more organized and cleaner. The streets are better, but the car drivers are worse. They like to overtake with a lot of speed in every situation. We headed fast to the first Firefighter station in Bribri.  Exceptionally they let us camp at theirs backyard, as unfortunately some cyclists behave like idiots, the firefighters normally don't accept cyclists any more in their stations. As Marcel is a firefighter too they open up the gate for us and we had a fun time with them. In Limon we met our professional friends from the "Tour de Costa Rica".
