Now, you might think we are harping on about this, but the humidity has been really humbling. The further south we travelled, there was a seemingly exponential rise in humidity, and our time in Drake Bay was ‘almost’ unbearable at times, with humidity reaching 96-99 percent. With levels this high, you become literally drenched after walking for no more than a few minutes. Rebecca struggled on our first day there, she has also struggled today somewhat, now we’re back in Quepos, having spent a couple of great days in Uvita, which was also incredibly humid – we really have been ‘slothing’ our way around this afternoon. I, obviously, coped ‘swimmingly’, those of you who know me well know I never really like to moan or complain?!
Relief from this, so far incredibly draining but fun journey, is that we fly to Quito, the capital of Ecuador, tomorrow for 4 nights. At 2,850m it will be at least 10° cooler and probably half as humid. Ah, bliss, as long as we don’t get altitude sickness!
We’ll be writing a blog post once we’re there, detailing our overall experiences of Costa Rica – we’ve loved every ‘dry & wet’ moment we’ve been here!
