Slept like a baby after the previous two nights ruffing it on the night busses. Golfito is an ex “United Fruit” headquarters for southern Costa Rica. Since the company moved to cheaper countries such as Ecuador, Golfito has turned to tourism (mainly local), and the Government has opened a duty free zone which is a magnet for people from the surrounding areas and boosts the town’s economy. For breakfast had two bananas and some muesli. Ready to enter the ferry to Puerto Jimenez (Port Jim for Gringos). Met two guys on the boat, one from Holland and second from oz (with a Polish grandfather). We all booked a trip across the local national park . It takes 48 hours and costs 60 US Dollars with no guide! Better be good ! Rice and chicken and some tequila. Ready for the trip at 5 am! I have done 1 km today (probably a daily record too!)
