Costa Rica review

Well thats it for Costa rica, we headed up the highway and had a fairly uneventful crossing into Nicaragua. We thought we'd summarise our thoughts of the country...

1. Not as safe as its made out to be - we heard so many stories of stolen stuff
2. Way too many tourists and hence excessive americanisation, organised tours and english speaking
3. Beautiful forests and reserves
4. Was good to spend a week at the Monkey Park and work with locals and animals in a place that didn't feature on any tourist trail at all...

Overall score from Phil - 6 out of 10
From Karen - 7 but too much hype!
