(^18) Quepos – Jaco - 66 kilometres
The ride to Jaco was scenic on a flat road alongside the coast. Jaco had a
dilapidated campsite, close to its famous and beautiful beach. The coast was a real
surfer’s paradise as the waves were good and the water warm. Supper was from a
food stand, known as soda stands, the most economical eateries in Costa Rica. One
could choose from various dishes; amongst them were always the ever-present rice
and beans.
The weather was sweltering, and it was virtually impossible to be in a tent, but rain
forced us into our private saunas. While lying there, sweat dripping, I could think of
many more comfortable places to spend a night. Eventually, I crawled out in search
of a cooling breeze, but there were none and the mosquitos were so fierce I had no
option but to return to the tent. I couldn’t wait until morning to pack up and get out
of there.
