WELCOME TO VICTORIA’S VOYAGE


MY TRAVEL DIARY

  • Costa Rica Day 10 – Farewell Jaco

    Costa Rica Day 10 – Farewell Jaco

    Today was the day I departed Jaco to begin the long journey home. I’ll definitely miss both this place and the people I’ve met and been travelling with along the way, but at the same time I don’t recall the last time I felt so exhausted, pushed almost beyond my physical limit. One of the… Read more

  • Costa Rica Day 9 – Manuel Antonio National Park

    Costa Rica Day 9 – Manuel Antonio National Park

    No hangover was going to stop me from visiting the Manuel Antonio National Park on the penultimate day of my travels in Costa Rica. We entered along a wide track, where we spotted a gorgeous sloth hiding high in the trees and an unusual reptilian-looking creature right by the side of the path. The walk… Read more

    Costa Rica Day 8 – Crocodiles and Karaoke

    I awoke once more to the sounds of the rainforest. It’s something I think I’m going to miss when I leave.

Welcome to Monteverde, I supposed. After a quick breakfast, it was time to set out for the first activity of the day.… Read more

    Costa Rica Day 6 – The Road to the Cloud Forest

    A slow morning re-sorting my luggage and relaxing by the pool with a book was exactly what the doctor ordered. The warmth of the sun in the crystal clear sky dulled slightly by a gentle cooler sea breeze, it was easy to relax, though a little energy would later be required for the first stop… Read more

  • Costa Rica Day 5 – Sea Turtles and Sunsets

    Costa Rica Day 5 – Sea Turtles and Sunsets

    Our first full day in the beach town of Tamarindo – and, thanks to the previous night’s antics, the one morning I didn’t wake up early… Even so, I still managed to fit in a little shopping, and was in plenty of time for the long-awaited catamaran cruise. The walk to the beach gave us… Read more
