Anyone been here to spend a weekend? in late June? We're thinking of leaving San Jose on a Saturday morning...staying just two nights. Possibly Cariblue Hotel. Mom, Dad, teenage daughter...like walking on the beach, birding, interesting wildlife, good scenery, good food. Can just chill and read good books too.
I really recommend going towards Manzanillo, you can rent bikes, the road is lovely and calm. The earlier you leave the more of wildlife spottings you'll have.Oh yeah, we love riding bikes to Manzanillo and Puerto Viejo both. Just ride with a partner and I'd avoid it at night. We found Azania a good location to walk up the road to Totem Restaurant which was quite good--Italian, I think. Also, La Pecora Nera is excellent--also Italiano.

On Wednesday, the court in Limon released the suspect who has accused of the murder of Carlos Navarro, known locally as Rulos.
The suspect, identified in the latest La Nación article by last name Lewis (but previously referred to by last name Mitchell) was initially ordered held in preventative detention for three months by a Bribri judge. He had been held since June 3. The prosecutor had said there was sufficient proof to hold him while the investigation proceeded but the Limon judge has taken a different view.

A number of people have commented that the forum has disappeared from Puerto Viejo Satellite and they missed it. Sorry to all you fans but I had to remove it.
The forum unfortunately kept getting attacked by spammers and the forum software made it very laborious to delete these spammers. I tried making it harder to register and then people had trouble getting registered but the spammers still found their way through. So with all the hassles…that was the end of it.

An Awful Day Turned Into an Incredible Experience Puerto Limon

I had no plan for Costa Rica, just 3 weeks and around $400 to do whatever I felt like doing. I decided this day to make an attempt to travel down all the way to Panama. I heard about these islands called Bocas del toro.
Well, I started out in Monteverde, which is in the northeast part of the country. The border crossing to Panama en route to Bocas was down in the southeastern part of the country, the Caribbean side. I know, I don't always make the most rational decisions. I decided not to try to go all the way but to try to make it Puerto Viejo, which is near the border. The plan would have worked better if I would have been more aware of the huge holiday going on, Semana Santa, which is Holy Week around Easter. In Costa Rica this is a big deal. I took the public bus for like 2 dollars from Monteverde to San Jose, and San Jose is where I encountered problems.
