050 Cycle Touring Central America - Part 1 - Costa Rica & Nicaraqua

(^12) Uvita – Dominical - 23 kilometres

Costa Rica was unique in that it didn’t have a military. It must be one of only a
handful of countries that doesn’t have an army (very clever, if you ask me). I hope
its lack of military was a sign of a peaceful nation.
Costa Ricans are known as “Ticos”, and the Costa Rican currency is colón (plural
colones) named after Cristóbal Colón or Christopher Columbus.
The ride to laid-back Dominical, a surfing community, was short and the remainder
of the day was thus spent walking along the pretty, rocky beach, surrounded by
dense forests.
