Join me in this episode as I take you to Quepos and Jaco, two of Costa Rica's hottest tourist spots renowned for their incredible beaches. While the vibrant atmosphere was certainly a bonus, my real mission? To sleep in a concrete tube! You know me, I've got a thing for concrete!
Hmm, I don't know what I'm doing today. I haven't planned anything because I have no reception in the jungle
I'm gonna miss this place. That was an unreal experience
So let's just hit the road and follow the coast and see what the day is gonna bring us
Yeah, let's just wing it. I don't know. I seriously have no idea what I'm doing today. What a great feeling
Chillie, are you ready?
She's ready
Okay, so I've arrived to Huepos
You can see the ocean now
But like whole city is on the hill so it's not like you have access to the ocean
I mean the easy access to the ocean
Is this a viewpoint?
Maybe?
Yeah
Let's go. Let's go with that. That's a viewpoint
Nice
That was a nice flight
It's hot
It's definitely a tourist hotspot and it's Sunday. So it's quite busy. There's a lot of activities going on
This is a public beach. So let's go down and check it out
We won't stay on the beach too long because it's so humid and hot
Okay, let's see what's going on here
But this looks awesome
This is the scenario, so everyone is just hiding among the trees and the beach is just a lovely
Very crowded
Probably because it's Sunday
Very nice
But we're not staying it's too hot
I'm going
Gracias. No, no, no, no
Gracias, gracias
Yeah
Now let's work out where we're gonna stay
Without a doubt I'm gonna have time to go to the beach, but we saw it. It's nice.
All right, grocery is done
I don't have to leave the house tomorrow
And yeah, actually my apartment is like literally 300 meters from here
So let's find it
It is somewhere here
In 300 meters your destination will be on the right
Right, I think
This is awesome. I got a pool
Totally I'm doing this
And then we have a construction outside
They work on Sunday
And this is Chillie
See you guys in two days
This is where I'll be working now
On my video so you can watch it
Two days later I'm out
I did a lot of work yesterday
But we all packed up, Chillie is just there
Chillie, where are you? Say hi
She's like there waiting
And we have blue sky
I must say in this part of the country
It doesn't rain so much
Well it does rain but not as much as
In the southern part at least at this time of the year
Right
So the plan for today is we are not going too far
We're going to Hakko
Which apparently is a party town
I'm not going there to party
But I'm going there to check out one place
So apparently there's this place which converted these big concrete tubes
Into rooms
So I totally need to sleep in one of these
You know me and concrete
It has to happen
Wow we are really
On the edge
Well maybe
Maybe I'll just stay here
So I can just
Collapse anytime
There you go
That's a beautiful beach
Especially for you guys, how's that?
Pretty right?
Iraqi
Beach
So Hakko is just around the corner
Okay let's get to this town
And see what's going on there
Today present yourself
A beautiful long beach
But very empty right?
What's today?
I think it's Wednesday
Not many people at this time of the year
I'm in
I managed to
Get this concrete tube for $42
It's very affordable
But I can't access it yet
Because I'm too early so I'm waiting for my key
Some at the bar
And have a look
Turn out this hotel's got
Ocean access
Look at this
True heaven
My room is ready
So this is the scenario
There's upstairs room as well
And this is me
So this is
Double bed
And air con
And concrete, concrete
Concrete all over
This is just the water pipe
Probably they bought it new or they recycle it
No they would recycle it I reckon they bought it new
Yeah that was converted into
A little room
So I did stay in a place like this
In 2018
In Israel
I'm so happy right now
All of this for $42
I'm gonna sleep in a concrete tube
Little things that make you happy hey
How's that?
Yay
Life is good I tell ya
Good morning
I had a wonderful night
In my concrete tube
I had four pillows
I engaged all of them
I'm so lazy now I just can't
Be bothered getting up but we have to go
So we're going back to the San Jose
And then I'm gonna cross to the
Caribbean side and from there
We'll be crossing to Panama
In a couple of weeks
I guess
Because you know me I travel slow
But that's the plan for the next
Coming days
I thought I'll share that with you
Before we go
Oh come on Kinga wakey wakey
We gotta go
Check out
Pay for now
Well that looked like a main road
On the map but I was wondering why my GPS
Is saying I'm gonna do 60 kilometers
In two hours
So this is my road to San Jose
I was not expecting it
What a nice surprise
This is the shortest way
But
Unpaid
Yep that's our bridge
And our river
In 300 meters turn left onto
Okay
And uphill
I had no idea this main road
To San Jose
Will be so cool
It's like the best road to San Jose ever
Left
Okay
I guess this way is getting rougher
Okay
Was that a Polish flag?
I think so
Costa Rican, American and Polish
That was a bit random
