The freedom, sense of independence and excitement of the unknown has driven them to turn a simple trip into a lifestyle, an infinite adventure. Please enjoy this week-in-the-life of Antonio and Amanda, The Adventure Junkies, while cycling in Costa Rica! (A place <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/colombia-colorado-costa-rica-c-trip\/\">I&#8217;m coincidentally headed to<\/a> in just a few weeks).&nbsp;<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This post was originally published in 2015. It has since been updated for accuracy of links and content.&nbsp;<\/em><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 1- Wednesday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\"><b>6:00 AM <\/b><\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">&#8211; The alarm clock goes off and we wake up in El Roble, a small town outside of Puntarenas, Costa Rica. We are staying with Alex, a warm showers host. Warm showers is a network that connects bicycle tourists with hosts all over the world. For the last 3 months, Amanda was in California working as a scuba instructor on Catalina Island. Antonio spent some time traveling in the Caribbean and visiting his family in Spain. We left our bikes in Costa Rica and today is the day we hit the road again. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\"><b>7:30 AM<\/b><\/span><span lang=\"en-US\"> \u2013 After saying our goodbyes we are back on the road and heading south. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\"><b>9:00 AM<\/b><\/span><span lang=\"en-US\"> \u2013 A car pulls over on the side of the road. Out comes a couple with two ice cold cokes in their hands. They had been bicycle touring a few years ago and know what a treat a cold drink is on a hot day. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\"><b>10:30 AM <\/b><\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">\u2013 Passing over a bridge we spot a group of crocodiles sun bathing on the river bank. 13 in total! We make our first decision of the day, we are not camping in the bush tonight! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\"><b>1:00 PM<\/b><\/span><span lang=\"en-US\"> \u2013 We stop at a gas station for lunch. Gas stations are great places to take a break in the middle of the day; there are bathrooms and cold drinks. Sometimes there is even air conditioning to have a rest from the pounding humid heat of the tropics. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\"><b>4:00 PM <\/b><\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">&#8211; After 63 kilometers of cycling we arrive to Jaco, a small surf bum town. It&#8217;s rainy season in Central America, and nearly every evening there is a down pour so it&#8217;s time to start looking for a place to stay. We pitch our tent at a campground by the beach. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\"><b>5:00 PM<\/b> \u2013 Take refreshing cold showers and change into mosquito gear, long pants and long shirts. The rainy season also means standing water which is breeding grounds for dengue-carrying mosquitos. <i>(Editor&#8217;s note: I&#8217;ve had a few brushes with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/being-thankful-in-grenada\/\">Dengue fever<\/a> \u2013 it&#8217;s no laughing matter)<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\"><b>5:30 PM<\/b> \u2013 We make our classic cycling dinner of spaghetti with tomato sauce and go to bed.<\/span><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 2 &#8211; Thursday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\"><b>7:00AM \u2013 8:30AM<\/b><\/span><span lang=\"en-US\"> &#8211; Get up and pack up camp. A quick breakfast of almond butter on bread and we hit the road. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\"><b>9:00 AM <\/b><\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">\u2013 Our bicycle computer clocks in 10,000 kilometers, which has been counting since we started cycling from San Francisco in February 2013.

Our bike lights die. Sharing the light of one head torch we dodge potholes, frogs and snakes. Lightening lights the road and rolling thunder breaks the sound of the rain. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\"><b>5:30 PM<\/b> \u2013 Over 80km later we arrive at Finca Amanecer in Londres, a small town outside of Quepos. The property is owned by Elena, a warm showers host who offers camping. There are only two covered camping areas, one of which is already taken by another cyclist. The other has a huge Coleman tent under it. The tent has a few holes and the floor is covered with leaves. We pitch our tent inside the big tent to keep the mosquitos and spiders away. Glad the day is over we strip off our wet clothes, put our heads to the pillow and crash out.<\/span><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 3 \u2013 Friday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\"><b>8:00 AM -12:00 PM &#8211; <\/b><\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">Easy day of cycling though farming communities. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\"><b>2:00 PM<\/b><\/span><span lang=\"en-US\"> \u2013 Buy mamones chinos from a stand on the side of the road.
