Today I managed to get up early and took the (almost) first ferry leaving the island Ometepe. I went straight towards Costa Rica, hurrying up because I planned to visit a national park my friends recommended me, which was on my way.

About an hour before arriving there I saw a hitchhiking backpacker at the side of the road. I know, in this area of the world it is not recommended either to hitchhike or to stop for hitchhikers, but I figured that rule wouldn’t apply if both of the people are obviously travelers. So I stopped and picked her up.

She was going to the same town as I was and she would have been fine to join me to check out the national park, but she googled and found out that it closed 45min after our estimated arrival and costs $16 to enter. That didn’t sound like money spent well, especially considering that it was raining on and off.

So we decided to pass on that and to continue straight to Uvita, CRI, where we arrived safely and will now check out what to do on a rainy day’s evening.

Tomorrow I’ll be heading towards Panama City, where I have to be at the shipping company’s office on Monday. I’ll see whether I already make it all the way tomorrow or whether I’ll stop before and do the rest on Monday morning.
