Day 53 (March 5) – Uvita to Jaco, Costa Rica
It was a little on the warm side last night. Probably because of the rain, jungle and ocean. It was almost a relief to get up and get away from the heat of sleeping. Some took advantage of an early morning walk on the beach but we headed out immediately after the Travel Brief to get a head start on finding the campground in Jaco and figuring out how Bob could park all us.
The drive was beautiful not quite the scenic beach views we had hoped for but the new road bypasses the small towns. We had good roads most of the way except for some road work and general rough roads. The first road we thought was the correct one led us to a dead end. We backed up about ¼ mile. Then we found a taxi and asked him to show us the way to the park. The park is a campground and is close to restaurants, shops and the beach. It does have water faucets and electric. No dump. WIFI was available but only in the shops, restaurants and Internet cafes. But the beach was wonderful.
Several of us took advantage of the beach then walked to the shops. Jaco is an up and coming city. Lots of real estate settlements, condos, and home sales. We hope for a cool, quiet and safe evening and late take off tomorrow which will allow us to enjoy the area before heading to our gas station campground tomorrow.
Rig #1, Bob and LuAnn
