 Alrighty. Alrighty. The chickens came down this morning. Here's a tree full of chickens. Look. Have a little rummage around. I just realized that of course, when chickens don't have a chicken house to go to, like naturally, I think they just roost in trees. So that makes total sense why they were in those trees last night. When people make chicken houses, they make little branches for them to stand on. We've been tricking them the whole time. There we go, leaving the cabin. The cabin of dreams. I had an absolutely terrible night in the cabin. Seriously, it was pretty hot. I had the fan blowing in my face. I woke up like a million times. I think as well, we had some bad bugs or something. My whole leg was itching. My back was itching. We had to put actually all of our clothes on. It wasn't a very nice night. No, I guess you win some and you lose some. Hopefully, tonight will be better. Good morning world. Welcome back to the channel. It's day number 358 on our circumnavigation around the globe. I'm motorcycle. We are here in the town of Oratina in Costa Rica. And today we have a couple of important missions. The first is to replace our broken GoPro, which was on the rear pole, which decided to go for a walk whilst we were riding down the highway. Oh, no. And then proceeded to get run over by a truck. So we found on Facebook Marketplace another one, which is actually in the capital, San Jose. It's a GoPro Hero 8, which was manufactured at the same time as the Max that we used to have. So other than the fact that it can't do 360 video, it should be pretty much the same for everything we need. And that's only going to cost us about 135 pounds. So it's not too bad, but it's still a shame that we lost our beloved GoPro Max, which has been with us since the start of our journey. Yeah, totally. So yes, we're heading into Costa Rica's capital, San Jose. It wasn't part of our original plan, but of course this is the only place where we could find a GoPro. Yes, and I pray that the GoPro will still be for sale when we arrive there, because the lady was like, yeah, if I can sell it before you guys arrive here, then I will sell it, which is like fair enough. After our brief visit to San Jose, we have another important mission, and that is to see an awesome volcano. I love volcanoes. And there are a lot of them to see here in Central America. This one is called Arinal, and it's surrounded by beautiful rainforests, and it's just going to be an amazing ride today. Yes, so we have about 30 miles to the capital, which is about like 50 minutes or maybe one hour, and it's already nine o'clock, so better hit the road. Let's go. Perfect. Thank you so much. Any other batteries or just one? Just one. Okay. Micro SD. Okay. Micro SD. Okay. Yeah, it looks like it's working. We had a camera here, but it fell on the street. Yeah. One car drove over it. Yeah. The camera is broken. I'll give you a card for our YouTube. Thank you. Awesome. See you. Our first recording with the new camera. Woohoo. Yes. Camera, camera, camera. Okay. So it's time to put everything back together. So... Oh, Jesus. Got glue dripping everywhere. So this bit goes inside here. This is actually the bit that broke off. So glue it all back together. Because I love this pole. All right. Yep. So this fella just came out of the house. I gave us these rain covers. He just came out and said, I have a gift for you guys. Thank you so much. That's awesome. Welcome to Costa Rica. Thank you so much. Costa Rica. That's awesome. How cool is that, hey? Whoa. You are rain protected. I'm so rain protected. I'm ready to return back to Ecuador and peckle the rain again. And this is our new setup for the GoPro. So basically we've taped everything up. We've super glued it. And we've added a bit of dental floss and attached it to this clip. So basically, if this does end up falling off again, it will kind of hang. So let's imagine that this all breaks apart and this falls. And then it falls. Oh. And there we go. Learning from our mistakes, hey? Wow. What a clean lens. What a good lens. Here you go. There we go. Hello. Yes. We're back. That's awesome. Cool. Three cameras are back, baby. Wow. Awesome. Thank you, thank you, thank you. So whilst we were making our way back out of San Jose, I thought I'd tell you guys a little bit about Costa Rica's capital city. So the city of San Jose was founded in 1739, but it didn't become Costa Rica's capital until 1823. The name San Jose is in honor of Joseph of Nazareth. So Jose, Joseph. And it has actually a really nice climate because it lays 1,170 meters above sea level. So at the moment it's really nice, fresh 25 degrees. Yeah, it's actually really really beautiful for riding in compared to like the rest of Costa Rica that was like so hot. Boiling hot. So the city's population is only 340,000 people, but in the greater area there's more than 2 million people living here. Hola. Gracias. Okay, go. So a recent study actually found that San Jose was the safest and least violent and dangerous city in Latin America. But now we're heading out, we've just gone through the payage and we are on our way to see a super awesome volcano. I'm excited and the weather looks really good as well, so I think we will get a good view of the volcano. I have to take off this raincoat. So I think in the future when we wear them we have to wear our other raincoats on top. Okay. Double rain protection. So I just went here into the supermarket because we wanted to celebrate the success of our new GoPro with some really nice treats. And I found a nice treat. It's like a cheesy bread. With some marmite on top. We are so incredibly boring, but it's surprisingly expensive here. I paid 25 pounds for some red bulls, some cheesy bread. Then I bought a muesli, I bought some sugary water and ayah and some coffee here. And a really nice jabata bread and like the cheapest cheese I could find. Like just a few ingredients here added up to 25 pounds. It's crazy. Where is Aldi, when do you need it, hey? So we have left the busyness of San Jose behind and now we are snaking our way up into the mountains and the road ahead looks ridiculously windy. It's incredible how steep it is here. I mean we had some really steep roads in Ecuador already but this road here is like high up there. Pretty crazy road. But super sweet little villages alongside here and also in between we have awesome views, awesome views. Massive bamboo here. Oh my God, yeah. Nice. It's going to be a mountainous day I think. I guess so too. It's going to be a windy day. Yeah Costa Rica is so pretty. It's so pretty, it's so clean. It's a really nice country. So we've stopped here in the town of San Ramon and it's still pretty hot. So we're following the advice of this lady in the hostel that we stayed at a couple of days ago. Thank you. And having some pineapple. She said that it was a good way to help cool you down. It has like anti-inflammatory properties. So we're giving that a go with our tropical iced tea as well. Yummy. It's a fruit fiesta right now. So we've travelled 73 miles today so far but we've been on the road since this morning for five hours and 24 minutes and we have 44 miles to go to get to La Fortuna which is like the beginning of the volcano area. So it's pretty slow going. It's pretty windy roads, a lot of cars and I'm just waiting to see if we can get out into a bit more kind of wild country to be honest. It's a little bit too busy. Yes me too and I'm excited to eat the pineapple. Yummy yummy. So we have entered now the famous Costa Rican cloud forest. I saw a sign that this is some kind of cloud forest. Yeah and it is very cloudy. Hold on, one way bridge. Yeah it's actually crazy the difference in the atmosphere from when we came out of San Jose to any three degrees blazing hot sunshine and now it's like 22 degrees and the air is like, yeah, moist. Oh look some dogs. Holy baka moly. But also like nestled within this forest area is what I think is tea plantations here. I'm not 100% sure but they kind of look like tea bushes. Yeah we can see actually loads like over the hills here and we saw people already picking the leaves as well. So it's really interesting. Whoa okay we're going over a crazy metal see-through bridge here. Oh my goodness. Be careful my love. Yeah that might be quite slidey for us hey. Yes. Oh my goodness. Wow. Some crazy views. Crazy, don't look down. No this doesn't feel too great riding on this. Oh no. Wow. Pretty crazy stuff. Whoa that's weird. Made it. It's super wet here as well. We are in the clouds, in the cloud forest and actually on the other side of Arenal the volcano that we're going to be riding past today is the most famous cloud forest in Costa Rica which is called Monteverde cloud forest. Holy moly we got some rain. This is the last thing I was expecting today. Oh man. Yeah but we are only two miles from the town of La Fortuna which was sort of going to be our pit stop anyway so I reckon we'll just try to just blast away the last two miles and then run for cover. Maybe stop have a coffee. Oh my lord. No it's getting worse. It's getting worse. I hope the GoPro 8 is waterproof. I believe that it is. Come on La Fortuna. Oh man I just wanted to get that last couple of miles. Yeah that's really unexpected actually. Yeah that came on super fast. It's been quite a challenge today. We've only managed to do 115 miles in nearly 7 and a half hours on the bike. The roads are pretty tricky here to be honest. A lot of traffic, very windy, very narrow as well. And now rainy. And now wet as well too. Oh no. Throw that into the mix. Be careful here. Yeah. Okay one mile ahead. Alright let's just see if we can find somewhere to grab a coffee. Somewhere to get undercover. How's the bread? It's a favourite. Is it okay? Yeah. A little bit wet here but otherwise it looks good. Good. So yeah we found a covered place so we're just going to grab a couple of copies here and see what happens with the weather I guess. Gracias. It stopped raining. Which is amazing. Alright. So we had a bit of a decision to make and we actually decided to stay here in La Fortuna tonight because it's already nearly four o'clock and actually the volcano at an hour should be just here. Like we're pretty close to it already but the weather is just too bad to be able to see it. So we have decided that we will stay now here for the night and then hopefully tomorrow morning we have the chance to see the volcano. Yeah we should at least give ourselves one more chance hey because if we go there now and ride past it number one it's probably going to rain again and number two we won't see anything. Yes. Yes. You know we already went past that volcano in Ecuador. The volcano is somewhere over there but it's so cloudy it's so rainy we can't see anything. We couldn't see anything it was freezing cold we were wet and we had a terrible time basically. So anyway it just makes sense for us to stay here in La Fortuna tonight. There is a hostel nearby which is not cheap but relatively cheap. Yeah it's still affordable. It's like a dorm room and a bed costs 11 pounds so would be like 22 pounds for the night for us both. Yeah. Just about as much we can afford really. It is a very very touristic place of course being so close to volcano Arenal so yeah I think that's pretty much the cheapest place we can get. Yep. So I think it's literally just straight up ahead and then we're going to start tomorrow morning really nice and early and hopefully hopefully the weather will have cleared a little bit and we can get some good views of Arenal. Okay there's Hotel La Cascada just here. Yeah this one yeah. Hotel and backpackers all right. Yep. Let's see. You never know maybe they give us a room. Maybe. Let's see. A few moments later. So Lavi just told me that they gave us a private room for the same price as two dorm beds. That's awesome. And also apparently the parking is actually just the hallway here. Oh no. I don't know if the GoPro pole at the back is going to fit but let's see. How's the pole looking? Okay. Yes. Wee. Cool. All right. Private room baby. So that's 20. In the end it was 24 pounds for a private room. Yes. That's still the cheapest room in town. Yeah. So that's good. Good evening guys. We made it. Happy and alive. Yes. We have finished for the day and it's not raining. And our room is just here. So it's like this one we've got our own little balcony in front of the room. Yeah. And check out this beautiful park. It's absolutely beautiful. Look at this tree. All right. I've got to go around. That's a massive crazy tree. So we're just going to walk around and see if we can find a bite to eat. Maybe something local. Maybe something Costa Rican style. Yeah. Let's see what we can find. And let's pray that it won't rain tomorrow. And we have a beautiful view of the volcano. I really hope so.
