Days 42 & 43 - San Isidro de General, Costa Rica

Day 42 – San Isidro de El General

We left San Jose (Belen Trailer Park at 8 h 00 am.
It was a sunday morning and to pass the city of San Jose it went well.
At mileage 26 we began climbing the mountain up to 11 050 feet.
The scenery was spectacular and the weather was good, clear sky without clouds at the beginning.
In the middle of the climb there was a check point by the police.
They asked for our passports and the paper for the car, then the trouble began, as I am the owner of the vehicule (Pauline) and Rene is the driver, but for that policeman Rene was not authorized to drive, I had to drive, I said that I was not able to drive that vehicule, he asked then for my driver’s license and as it was in order he said that it was me to drive the car, not Rene. Brian tried to make him understand that I was the owner and Rene my “chauffeur” but there was no way he let us go like this.
So it was for the first time I drove the RV and about 1 mile after, when we were out of the police sight, I saw a pullout and then we exchange place again. I did not want to drive on those mountains.
At the beginning of the afternoon we arrived at destination in San Isidro de El General and we parked on the Soccer Field at the Hotel Del Sur. Very nice place with a swimming pool and it was really refreshing.
Near by the hotel there was the fairgrounds and it was the last day of the fair. So lot of people and we had music until 2 H am
