 This will be pretty much the closest we can get to the volcano. We're just trying to fly the drone and see if we can get any views of Arun Arundel. Good morning world, welcome back to the channel. It's day number 359 on our circumnavigation around the globe by motorcycle. We're here in La Fortuna in Costa Rica and look at the view from the front of our room. It looks like a promising night but Mosquito's got in the way. Probably woke up at about two or three in the morning and then both of us putting on Mosquito repellent and then try to go on a hunt, try to find them but they're always so small and they're so they're so good trained you know they're just hide for you. So not the best sleep actually last night despite the fact that the room was beautiful, the place is beautiful, La Fortuna is a beautiful town but not a beautiful sleep. Anyway it's a new day, we've had a coffee and it's time to hit the road. I don't have a Costa Rica map just yet so I can't show you the route but we're basically going to be picking up where we left off yesterday and heading towards Volcano Arenal which is somewhere over there in the clouds at the moment but we're hoping that the sky will brighten up and we will have a nice view so fingers crossed. It certainly looks a lot better than when we arrived here yesterday it was pouring with rain and we couldn't see anything it's looking a little bit brighter so I hope we can see something. So we have a busy day ahead and it's already seven o'clock so better hit the road let's go. Okay ready rock and roll. It just started raining, can you believe it? We just got out here starting the day get all our stuff on. Now we have to put the raincoats on. See ya. Rainy Ecuador, rainy Colombia, not rainy Panama but rainy Costa Rica. Oh no rainy Panama as well. Look at that hey. Yep we've been wet in every country. Please stop rain please and also please clouds disappear please. So you know when every single hotel and hostel here is called Arenal View Mirador Arenal Volcano Hostel. You know that we're pretty close to this volcano but at the moment it's just white. You can't see anything. I can't even see an outline of this volcano. Nothing nothing it's not existing. Yeah and apparently we're not very far away it should be just here. Yeah with a nice view. So I think there's a little trail that goes down towards the volcano coming up on the left so I reckon we'll take that trail and just see if we can get as close as we can ride really just to see if we can get a view of this volcano. Can you see an outline? I can't see anything. Oh man we just have to enjoy the pictures that you see on the hotel advertisements. Look at this one. Yes. Montaña de Fuego with a giant volcano. Wow that's so sad really it's so sad. Oh my god. Shame. Sunshine in Costa Rica. Yeah we sort of circled around the volcano a little bit and it's definitely better weather on this side and we're starting to see some views of the slopes just over there but we are getting closer so who knows we might be lucky. So we're just following this little trail now this will be pretty much the closest we can get to the volcano without having to hike so this will be our best chance of seeing something. So Volcano Arenal is 1160 meters above sea level and it's in the Volcano Arenal National Park and it's basically surrounded by this amazing cloudy rainforest. It was last active in 2010. Where are we now? Observatory. Oh hola Buenos. No no we're just looking the looking the volcano but we can't see. No we can't it would be very difficult. Yes yes thank you. Okay let's do a little turn around. If you can't get views from the observation tower which is right next to the volcano then I think you can't get views from anywhere. No anyway what would your dad say? You've seen one you've seen them all. Yes oh we're just trying to fly the drone and see if we can get any views of Arenal. But even on the screen it's like you can see the beginning of the volcano but the whole top part covered in clouds. Okay well we flew the drone literally in front of the volcano and if you can't see it from the drone then I think there is no chance that we are going to see the full Arenal today unfortunately. Well another reason to come back hey? There we go. So anyway now we will make our way back out of the National Park. It's pretty good that we got the drone up in Costa Rica because our next mission for today is actually to send our drones off. So we are getting closer to the border to the next country on our journey which is Nicaragua and actually Nicaragua has banned drones completely so you can't even enter the country with the drones. They will confiscate them they'll give you a fine and people said they don't get them back. We need to head to a town called Liberia which is one of the last towns before we get to the border to Nicaragua and in Liberia we'll go to I think DHL and basically we're going to send the drone over to the next country after Nicaragua which is Honduras and we're going to send it to a hotel in Honduras where we can then collect it after we've exited. So we have 84 miles to ride to get to Liberia. 84 miles. 84 miles. Seems quite a lot. Yeah still a fair amount to go and if we know the roads in Costa Rica that we've seen so far then it's probably going to take a little while but I'm sure it's going to be twisty and beautiful. Oh obviously at the car park with a lot of people because they are hungry. Wow. Beautiful little um what are their names? Cuati. Oh Cuati. Cuati. It says hello. It's a Cuati. Wow. Hello beautiful. These guys are so cheeky look at them. The last time we saw these guys was in like Brazil no? Yeah amazing. Look how many they are and little babies. It's like a Cuati paradise here. Yes look at them. They just want food of course but we ain't have food for you guys. I love them. Absolutely love them. Look how many. Wow. Look how they look. Hello. Hello. Hello. I don't have food for you guys. No. Boop. I just booped him. Now he doesn't trust me anymore. I lost his trust. Aren't they such beautiful animals. Hey wow. They're so cute. Look how many they are. I don't know. Look. A mix between like a hedgehog and a monkey. I don't even know what these guys are like. Amazing. So we're just riding past Lake Arinal and actually the the road we're taking is kind of going around this lake. But it looks like it's a dam because we're kind of riding on the dam wall. So I think it's an artificial lake. Cuati. Hello. Oh no. You're not supposed to walk on the road guys. Come on guys. Please. What's going on? Go back in the jungle please guys. Wow. He has so many here. That's so cool. Truly is a Cuati paradise. It's a German bakery. Looks like it. Shall we check what they have? Hello everyone else. You can tell me is this authentic? Oh cool. Look at that. A little chocolate volcano. Maybe a little bit too much for us hey. Yeah three pound for a pretzel. It's too much hey. It's too hot. Okay all right. Wow. Good try though. We didn't have enough money for the German bakery but this morning I prepared us anyway some really nice German cheese of course and marmite with avocado. It's as good as. Keeping nice and cool. This town that we've just stopped in Nuevo Arinal has like a really old school vibe. It's got like all hand painted signs on the front of the shops. But it's just started raining. Oh man it might be like this for the whole day. So we've just gone over the hill from the lake and like the rainforest is gone. It's like open countryside now. So we're going to take off our coats now because look at it. It's just blue skies. It's hard to believe that this was rainforest. You never know what you're going to come across on the road hey. You never know how it's all going to change in one moment. I don't think you'll find many coates here. Yeah I mean if you see something like this then you would never ever imagine that this is here a rainforest actually you know. No no you absolutely wouldn't. So we've arrived in Liberia. It's time to find DHL and say goodbye to pinky in the brain our drones. So we still have to go straight here. Straight across for 0.2 and then we have to go to the right. Let's pray that it's open. Yeah we're not really sure if it's a public holiday today. Because we have a suspicion on Google it said that the hours might differ because of a special day today. And then it's coming up on the right side here apparently. Okay this is the place Kurubanda Express Servicio de Cargas y Encomiendas. They are a DHL authorized agent but I don't know if they're closed. Are they closed? Are they closed? Just knock on the door eh. You're going to try and watch what's up then. Okay yeah I'm not sure if they're open. 20 minutes later. So unfortunately no one is coming out so we have to assume it's closed. We have messaged them on WhatsApp but we're waiting for them to get back to us. So in the meantime there is another place in town called Liberty Express. It's just around the corner so I think we'll go over there and see if they're open. Pinkie and brain are inside here now and we've got a tracking number and everything sealed up and ready to go. It's not exactly cheap I think it's costing around 90 pounds but it's secure. We've got a tracking number and yeah got no choice. Yes our only option we found a guest house in Honduras and this guy said yes you can set up to my place which is really nice. Thank you so much guys we will see you in like five days or something like that. Bye bye drones. Luis really helped us here. He speaks English so perfect so we had no communication issues and yeah thank you so much. And we got a free coffee. And another 100 pounds lighter. We are skinny after this trip here. Less money less problems. All right mission successful we're just going to Taco Bell because I've heard of it but I've never ever been to Taco Bell before. Oh my god I'm really hoping badly that they have some vegetarian options. Let's get something in our bellies hey. Yeah I'm starving. Here we are first time at Taco Bell and I just ordered like a vegetarian combo and it's like you get a taco you get a burrito you get chips you get a drink sorry. But look I think it's like black beans in there tomato mayonnaise and cheese. It's my first taco in my life. Unbelievable. Oh amazing. Okay sending drones mission in Liberia done. Done filling our bellies with Taco Bell mission number two done. So we are now heading out of Liberia and we found a place on booking.com which is about 15 minutes further down this road. Basically this road just goes down to the border to Nicaragua. The border is about an hour away so tomorrow we don't have a lot to write and we'll already be there ready to cross over to Nicaragua. Exciting times ahead. We found a place on booking.com for about 27 pounds which is again just over budget of course but it has the AC which is really important these days because it's like 33 degrees at the moment and the last three days we had a really really terrible sleep. It's really taking it out of you if you don't have a good sleep. You need the energy during the day you want to visit things you want to experience things but if you don't have a good sleep then you know this is like just so hard. Yeah I mean we've got a big day tomorrow you know it's another border crossing we'll be heading into the Nicaraguan capital Managua. We really need to be like a hundred percent. Yeah yeah we need to get early night tonight we need to be a hundred percent and air conditioning is just just needed we just need it. Yeah it's a lifesaver. Cocomolo with the sign of an AC. In this place this is like the most important things. All right wow looks like a big place here oh there's somebody. Good evening guys we made it happy and alive. Yeah we have our room with AC and this place is very peaceful it's out in the countryside we've got a giant mango tree behind us we've got coconut trees over here and it's just beautiful. Very nice and tropical it's actually really sad that we have to leave Costa Rica tomorrow already because we had a really great time here except the rain of course. I love the country so much it's so nice and green and the people are really friendly and really happy. Yeah it was a short but amazing visit I'm so glad that we could actually see like the wildlife in Manuel Antonio and the coates today and just get to experience like a small portion oh oh hello. Oh sure okay yes so we've been invited to go for a walk so we're gonna go for a little walk.
