2016 01 26 Day 4, La Fortuna
This morning Beth drove us to the Cartago train station where we got a free (geezer) ride to San José. The ride was crowded and bumpy I stood by the door, bracing myself with two hands and used my knees to steady the luggage. At the San Jose' station we asked a taxi to take us to the Terminal Norte Atlantico. However, he took us to Terminal 7-10 instead.
As a result, we had a two hour wait for the bus to La Fortuna. The terminal however was very modern. It has three floors that look more like a shopping mall than a bus station.
The bus had moderately comfortable seats, but the ride was 4 hours long. We watched the scenery change as we crossed mountain ranges and valley floors.
Finally, as we approached LaFortuna, I spotted the hotel from the window, pulled the cord to signal a stop and we were done traveling for the day.
After we got our cabin, we relaxed for a short while before going out to dinner. We had refrescos (papaya and guayabana con leche). Then ordered a salad, pasta al pesto, and fish with mushroom sauce. It was well prepared and the service was relaxed and attentive.
The remainder of the evening was spent sitting on the cabin porch, trying to cool off. The temperature eventually left the eighties and probably got to the low seventies.
