I'm LEAVING Costa Rica! The Last Blast & Caribbean Soul - EP.367

Well, hello, hello. Today I'm heading finally to the Caribbean Sea. I'm so excited and I can see there is this heavy rain ahead of me. So I'm gearing up and look, it's all true what they say. Leah told me I can put this liner that's supposed to go, well, it can go underneath your jacket or it can go over your jacket. Look! Now we are ready for the rain. So we're not too far from the Caribbean Sea now. I think straight line, probably 50km, but we will go along the coast a little bit. I am so glad I have this jacket over my mesh jacket. Makes a massive difference. Okay, here we go. And we have made it to Coweta. Well, I don't know, that's how you pronounce it, but let's just go with that. This is one of the major towns on the coast here. Turn left toward Coweta main road, then turn right. Coweta, it is. I took a cabin here because I need to do some work urgently after. Turn right towards Coweta main road, then turn left onto Coweta main road. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You got a car. Oh, chilly. Hold on. Was it left now? Yeah, hang a Louie. Okay, we're nearly here. Oh, look, the beach is just here. Beautiful. We are somewhere on the other side, like here. I think this is us. Yep, that's us. We made it. And look, I want to show you this. And after all this heavy rain, I am dry. I am so, so happy. And we're in. Look at my gorgeous cabin for $38 per night. What a bargain. As we arrived, it started to rain, so Chillie's covered. She's just there. The Caribbean Sea is like literally behind that fence. So yeah, after four days of camping, I really needed it. Time to do laundry, have a shower, wash my hair, make myself decent. Good morning. It's cloudy, but it's not raining. So I just got out quickly to show you what's across the road. So here, it's a bit rocky. So let's follow the road this way to Playa Negra. So yeah, Playa Negra is the main beach here, and that's why everyone is here. It's a beautiful black beach. We have plenty of options for accommodation along this road. Actually, this is my second time here. I was here with my mom and my sister in a hired car, and we truly enjoyed this little town and the coast. So wait, give me a few seconds and we'll be right on the black beach. Playa Negra. Okay, let's see the shotguard. Maybe we can walk on the beach now from now on. We're very close to Panama border. Panama is that way. And that's where I'll be crossing soon in a few days. And this part of Costa Rica is known for the blue waters of the Caribbean Sea. Unfortunately, it's rainy season now, and the Caribbean Sea is a bit gloomy and sad. That's okay. It's still my favorite sea in the whole world. Truly. Every time I'm at the Caribbean, I'm so happy. It's about the sea. It's about the vibe, the people who live here. You know, you've got this Caribbean vibe going on here. I love it. So this is where Playa Negra starts. Let's go for a walk. End of my walk, I have to go back to my cabin and work on my content, edit videos and do all the magic so I can entertain you. How you say it? Entertain you. I think that's how you say it. You know what I mean? And by the way, I think rain is coming. Yeah, it's time to go back. Oh, look, I'm going to do like a nice shot. Hold on. How's my hair? And look, at my place, we have some signs. It's very far to China. It's like 14,000 kilometers. That's too far. Japan, also too far. Austria, only nine. Hollandia, nine. No Australia or Holland. Peru, Argentina, USA, 4,000. That's very close by. Mexico, 3,000. Nothing. Canada, 5,000. Australia, 15,000. Yeah, everyone knows it's the end of the world. Quickly, let me guess what happened. It's so hot, but I have to put on my overalls. There is a hairdresser half an hour from here who said she can do my hair like right now. I'm desperate. I think I'm in the right place. Hello, how are you? No worries, we'll do it. Hello. Thank you so much for squeezing me. I really appreciate it. No problem. It's an awesome salon. It's like outdoor jungle version. Your motorcycle. Yes. It's all happening. I have some silver on my hair. I put the button, so cute. How's my hair? I feel so good. I'm not feral anymore. I'm a part of society again. Let's go back home. Good morning. It's time to go. It's not raining at the moment. Let's hope it's going to stay like this. We're not going to fire. I'm going back to Puerto Viejo where I got my hair done yesterday. How's my hair? We're going to stay there for two nights because I just want to show you this little town properly because it is a pretty cool little town. It's got a really nice vibe and there's plenty of people there, even in low season. It would be nice to be amongst the people just for a little bit. That's the plan. Oh, poop. It's raining. Today, I didn't put my overalls on. Oh, well, we're going to get wet. That's okay. It's not too bad. Chilly, chilly, chilly. Let's keep going. So long, Playa Negra. We have made it to Puerto Viejo. Now, let's check into my new apartment. Yesterday, I found this. It's a bargain, 30 bucks, which is very cheap because here everything is expensive. This is the main street. They have plenty of shops, that sort of stuff. Right, chilly. Let's go this way. I think our apartment is somewhere this way. Okay, we are somewhere here. I think actually here. Bye, chilly. Have a good rest. You know where to find me. I'm next door. I'm happy that she's safe. This is my room. Have a look. I have my little kitchen, bathroom, and my bed. Let's go for a walk because we have a moment and it's not raining. There it is. This is the beach. A bit gloomy and cloudy and sea. Here we have a boat. Someone was very unlucky. We're very close to the shore. This is it. That's how close. End of walking. It's time to eat something. So this is the restaurant I've selected for us. Have a look. This is so nice. And we have sea view. There you go. That's the sea. So when you're in this part of Costa Rica, you have to try their cuisine, which is Caribbean food, basically. It's got different spices. It's got coconut in there. It's very delicious. So of course, I ordered something on the menu that is vegetarian slash vegan. But there's plenty of dishes for meat eaters as well. So actually, the majority of the dishes are with meat. Anyhow, it's coming. I can't wait. I can't wait. I'm so hungry right now. That was a long walk. And my cold beverage is ready too. Cheers. There it is. Okay, my lunch is ready. So this is banana, but not the sweet banana. It's the large banana that is actually quite dry in flavor. This is rice. This is portabella mushroom instead of chicken. And this is salad. Okay, here we go. So rice is the thing, right? I don't know how to explain to you, but it's rice, beans, and the spices. It's a bit spicy with coconut. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know how to explain it. It's just something that you can't get anywhere else. Then we have this banana. It's nice, sweet and dry. Sort of like a potato, but banana. Then we have portabella mushroom. Grilled. Delicious. Then we have salad. Oh, oh, delicious. Salad is with coriander. Everything is so delicious. I'm telling you. I'm in heaven now. Heaven. Okay. I don't know if you'd be able to see it, but this is a little bit out of control. So let me explain. The waves are coming there. Going that way. Then these ones are coming this way. And those ones are coming that way. So you have this point, that point there. And in between they just get all confused and choppy. And then you don't know what they're doing. Truly. Good morning. It's not raining. Julie's ready. We are ready. Yeah. To leave Costa Rica. It's happening today. I'm heading to the border. I'm so sad. I've been here for three months and I had the best time. Oh my God. Costa Rica is just unreal. It's safe. It's peaceful. People are so friendly and so genuine. I just had the best time. So yes. Thank you Costa Rica for having me. For sure. I'll be back someday. Costa Rica is truly one of my favorite countries in Central America. Okay. But it's time for Panama now. So we're going to have to head to the border, but before we go to the border, we're going to see Punta Uva because we have blue sky. Maybe I'll fly a drone to show you the coast, because I think that's very special. Yeah. That's the plan for today. Can you see me? I'm here. Chilly, chilly. It's been ages. No face gear maybe would be nice. Right. Punta Uva is only nine kilometers away from here. Oh, I'm going to miss this country. I'm sad. Okay. We're nearly here. This is Punta Uva. This looks like a nice spot. We can hike to here. Oh, and the water is a bit clearer here. What about here, Chilly? Let's just drive in here. Well, that's a big pot of sand. Okay. Here is good. This is my last footage from Costa Rica. So I just followed the road to the end and here we've got this awesome location and a lot of overlanders camp right on this beach. They come here with the cars or tents. That was my original plan to camp here, but it's just raining too much. Like that. Let's walk like that. Oh, you're so warm. I love you so much.
