San Jose, Costa Rica
San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica was main transit point to go between the different places in Costa Rica. I would be back to San Jose every few days and chill out a day before heading to my other destinations in Costa Rica. The city is pretty chaotic and big and not the most easy to access by public transportation. One of the worst parts of the city though - most streets don't have name signs.. So you never know where you are. Even to Taxi Drivers, you can't give an exact address.. it has to be something like 400 metres east of a certain known spot. Pretty challenging for non-local to navigate the city. I enjoyed myself though and managed to explore the not so touristy places of the city as well. Fortunately I am brown and look local.. in so many places, you could smell danger in the air.
