So I’m back on my travels. In 2010 Andy and I had planned to visit the islands of Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama, but as luck (or the weather) would have it we never made it past Nicaragua before having to turn back so we could make our flight home.
Costa Rica has always appealed to me because it’s notorious for being a biodiverse haven, a place of stability in a region notorious for social challenges and is leading the way in the fight against climate change by being a leader in eco tourism.
Desperate not to have the same issues as before I deliberately avoided rainy season. My flight booked for February - what could possibly go wrong…
I’m guessing I hadn’t banked on the heaviest snow storm to hit Canada in several years (my flight was via Toronto). What turned out to be a laughable amount of snow - which probably would have grounded Heathrow quickly became a white out and I increasingly became anxious as to whether my flight would leave.
Thankfully we did, but the pilot really earned his stripes navigating the blizzard.
We were delayed by an hour on what ended up being a 24 hour day (with barely any sleep) by the time I’d reached the hotel. I was exhausted and very ready for my bed.
