BSCR San Jose Wyndham
Friday 30 January
Warmer, more humid, brighter, with significant breaks in the rain.

Long luxurious shower this morning. No shortage of water here.

Tried and liked salsa linzana. It is their national salsa. Similar in looks and taste to a lighter A1 sauce.

Boat ride and van return to San Jose. Back through the estuaries of the island and then across the hills on a scenic ride.

Boat ride very much like a ride in the amazon jungle at least look like the pictures we have seen on the amazon river.

Bus ride through many banana plantations with a nice discussion of their farming. One plant one session. Plastic bags keep the fruit the same size.. Thin cows, very well fed but no hormones or antibiotics. Look undernourished but unlimited grass here.

Like coffee very best is exported and second grade is for the locals.

Left the Caribbean climate and flatlands via a pass through and over the cloud forest, 1500 meters plus. Heavy traffic.

Stopped to try fruit I had not had before, a sweet poison fruit, granadilla. At it with a plastic spoon at a roadside fruit stand.

Dinner. Peruvian restaurant.
