Honeymoon in Costa Rica

Travelling from Sydney to San Jose, Costa Rica was an adventure in itself. It took 40 hours including a half day in Santa Monica (L.A.) between flights. Our luggage was last off the plane in San Jose - we had started to worry but there was no need, all was OK. Thanks to AL there was a seamless transfer to our hotel. After a much needed freshen up we went for a walk to see what sunny San Jose has to offer. We had lunch opposite the Teatro Nacional before visiting the Pre-Columbian Gold museum. A great introduction to the history of Costa Rica. Diner at our hotel was top quality and a very romantic setting. Now we really felt like we were on honeymoon!

The 5:30 coffee delivered to our room was a welcome accompanyment to packing ahead of the 50 minute flight to San Jose. Back at the Grano de Oro hotel we were able to go online and see our wedding photos for the first time - our photographer had posted a selection of them to her website for us to view. They were great! We had another walk into the city centre before dinner back at the hotel, a meal that felt all the more sophisticated and extravagant for the time we had just spent in relatively informal and simple accomodation.
