Yes we do know the way to San Jose, thanks for asking.

Buenos something! (haven´t learnt the word for morning in Spanish yet..)
We´re still here in San Jose, but are leaving for Orosi (via Cartago) soonish - it´s not too far away but we want to get there as early as possible before the rain starts. Yesterday we learnt the hard way that it´s best to carry an umbrella and wear waterproofs in this part of Costa Rica - we got SOAKED!! It was beautiful and sunny until about 1pm, then there were light showers which wasn´t a problem, but then we left to come back to the hostel, and in the process got absolutely drenched, even though we tried to shelter as much as possible. This is the second day in a row that we´ve woken up naturally at 5.30am, having gone to bed at 9, so probably what we´ll do is shift our waking hours so that we can do lots of things in the morning, and then stay indoors or do less during the afternoon. But hey, it might not rain every day!
San Jose is actually really nice - nothing like the awful, busy, stressful city described in the guide book. It´s quite bustling but very nice to walk around - we didn´t do anything in particular, but went through a couple of parks, and into the Mercado Central, which is a big undercover market selling all kinds of things, from raw meat to fruit to bags. We were going to eat at a Soda, sort of like a greasy spoon cafe or diner, where all the Ticos (Costa Rican people) eat, but in the end we admitted to each other that we actually wanted MacDonalds. We also bought a passionfruit, some lychee-type things and grapes from the market and had those in the afternoon. Oh yes, and we´ve found Central America´s answer to Trafalgar Square, absolutely teeming with pigeons and people feeding them (maybe Trafalgar Square pre-Ken Livingstone..).
Orosi sounds really lovely, apparently it´s a pretty village with hot springs etc., and lots of nice walks you can do. There´s also the possibility of taking a few days´of Spanish lessons, which we might take if it´s affordable, so we can converse a bit more with the locals.
Anyway, we´re off to lie in the hammocks again! I could get used to this...
Lots of love,
