Yesssss!!! Finally we are in Costa Rica... This is supposed to be the easy and crazy part of our trip.... I wait Mehmet in San Jose for one day and once he comes we rent a 4x4 jeep on our way to the wilderness of Costa Rica inlands...

MOMENT OF SENSORY COMPLETENESS!!!!! We start our trip with a gorgeous view of the mountains with colorful greens all around, turn our windows down and turn on the radio inside our 4x4.... Bingoooo!!!!! Bon Jovi,,, Living on a Prayer!!!!!
"Weve got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when its all that youve got
Whoooooaaahhh Liiiving on a Praayeeeeer!!!"
We smell the freedom and shoot on with our way....

The road is absolutely amazing. This is our first breath-taking stop on our way. During this trip you will see more pictures of Mehmet because my pictures are significantly better than his pictures until the giant waves =)

This is the bridge we passed our jeep with(no joke, they added some more wood to make it stonger along the wheelsides!!!)
And this is our first glance at the notorious volcano arenal. Don´t you really think that it looks beautiful with this cloud on its top? **Remember this point

This is another view to this volcano, this time we are on the active side of the volcano as you can understand from the fact that there
are no greens on that side.... Yes this time me and the volcano...

And we learn something sad, Arenal is notoriously "Nazli" (arrogant). So if that damn cloud does go more down, we will not be able to see any lava in the volcano!!!!!

Anyways, we forget about our fears of arenal not showing lava and go ahead with the hanging bridges of arenal, which are famous and in the
middle of cloud forest. In the first picture you see one of the hanging bridges from where we are (Yes we have a lot way to go...)
In the second one I am in one of those hanging bridges hanging out....

This picture is a very special picture =)... After Mehmet saw that picture he refused to give me back the camera unless I cut him in the picture before publishing it out.. He even threatened to delete the picture. He was really tough... And I am holding my promise as you can see. I cut him in the picture =).... By the way I don't understand why he insisted so much. It is just him and a plant local that we do not know very well =)

Enough pictures of hanging bridges, lets see some pictures from the hanging bridges...
Arenal with that evil cloud still on top of it!#!!$
At least I lighten up the picture a little bit. Doesn't it seem like fake?? Yeah actually I have never been in those places =)

Arenal with that idiot cloud.

A beautiful view of lake arenal while returning back from the hanging bridges.
Us arenal and the cruel cloud.

Some gorgeous views of the arenal lake, which is at least as beautiful as volcano right now.
Absolutely nothing better than a good sunset for talentless guys with a digicam =)

I had to tell Mehmet to slow down for that picture. I had to take it, I took it from inside the car and the force was with me and Costa Rica as you can see.

For this one I didn't even ask him to slow down =)

What the helllllll!!! is wrong with this stupid senseless cloud!!!%#!

The other day ( Which actually means that we missed the lavas at night because of that idiot cloud). By the way during the night I was with the hot springs of Baldi, where I also became a delikanli and went from hot springs to cold springs and then wandered around without towels... The result ??? I will be sick in the rest of Costa Rica and also at the start of my trip right now in Ecuador I am still coughing while talking!$#%$% (This is swear of an idiot to himself)...

Anyways, already disappointed by the arenal last night, we just came to see a goodbye to Volcano, still we don't give up on the lake, but also take a very cool pose with arenal itself too....

Now we are ready for our trip to Monteverde!!!!!!!
