I have arrived at the Radisson, San Jose and am sitting in the hotel bar enjoying a club sandwich and beer before heading off to bed. I approve of the music – 70s and 80s. Bee Gees, ABBA, Blondie and Carpenters so far. It’s been a long day – 11.5 hour flight and then, because the traffic in San Jose was awful, it took double the 40 minute journey time to the hotel. On arrival I was shown to my room and then immediately went to the tour briefing. I have now met my fellow travel companions. It’s a big group, 16 people – British, US and Canadian, everyone seems friendly and shares the common love of wildlife. I think it will be a fun trip. Hopefully some wildlife photos to share with you tomorrow….
I have now discovered my room is directly above the jacuzzi which is full of loud and drunken locals. In fact I wouldn’t have thought it was possible to fit so many large bodies in it! If I wasn’t so tired I would go to reception and demand a new room. It is only 21.00 but that’s 03.00 in the morning to me. I might have to wear my headphones tonight – grrrrr!
