We`ve Arrived!

Firstly, apologies. The Costa Rican keyboard is rather different to the English or American ones so I´ll probably make lots of typos!
Well we´ve finally made it to San Jose. The flights weren´t too bumpy although in the one to Madrid we hit a rough patch and I accidentaly missed the armrest and grabbed the leg of the random guy sitting next to me....he looked pretty scared (of me). After a bit of confusion with seat numbers at Madrid airport, leading me to board the plane by a different entrance to Emily and Sally, we settled down for the 10 hour flight to San Jose. Having scanned the plane`s radio stations we found a rather nice Dick Wittington story followed by a totally surreal ganster style rap about Tigger the Tiger. During a rather nice Disney film about huskeys Sally was rather startled by a big seal (no really) and let out an almighty scream. I think that was when we first became popular with the people around us. However, the guy sitting in front of Emily stayed stubbonly asleep. So she hit him on the head for good measure (accidentaly she assures!) 10 hours is a long time to sit in one place and we each entertained ourselves in different ways. I met my intellectual equal in the toddler sitting in front of me and spent a portion of the journey having a face pulling contest. I won. (Yes!) Sally hit the guide books and started learning the lingo and Emily attempted sleeping(inbetween frequent questions from Sally) and did some pretty intense staring. The seat tray in front now has burn marks.
Upon landing in San Jose we easily caught a cab to our hostel and booked in with no problems. Until we tried to follow the check in lady´s directions to the hostel bar. Apparently it's 2 blocks up the road but depending on which one of us asked, it was either up the hill, down the hill or along the road. Lovely. But we´re here now (despite the efforts of the many road users who did their best to mow us down. Good effort lads but no road kill this time).
It´s only quarter to 7 now but it´s already been dark for about half an hour. This of course means that we´ll have to be making the most of the mornings (Leo-that´s the time before noon that you´re not familiar with). Tomorrow we plan to hit the tourist information office, phrase book in hand and smiles a-beaming, to plot our next move.
Thanks for all your comments, keep them coming! Until our next post, adios!
