What You Need To Know About Costa Rica That Nobody Tells You
We are off to Tamarindo! Jorge, the nice driver, picked me up from the hotel as promised. However, he had no idea where the bus terminal was. I tried to Google it but not much turned up. I gave him the name of the bus company, Transportes Alfaro, and he asked if it was in San Jose. Thirty minutes later, he pulled over in front of a closed garage door and was puzzled. He said Transportes Alfaro used to be located there but was no longer. I asked if we should be looking for the bus terminal instead of the company and he said probably but he didn’t know where it was. I remembered that the concierge, Edgar, had given me his phone number so I gave it to Jorge to call him. When he called, Edgar said that he didn’t know either. This was puzzling to me. How can two people in the tourism industry for over two decades not know where the main bus terminal was? Eventually Google led us there.

How to Spend a Christmas Alone in Sydney
‘Alone’ is often deemed as a sad word and it intensifies in meaning and purpose during festivals. Wonder why? That’s the time when everyone gets together—with their families, friends or even colleagues. For instance, since Christmas is the nearest festival, I hardly doubt if there’s someone who doesn’t have anywhere to go on Xmas eve. *sniff sniff* Sadly, I happen to be that person in the room. I’ve spent a few too many Christmases with myself and I know exactly why I do what I do at the arrival of the best season of the year. So you might wanna take notes, kids.

BEST TRAIN JOURNEY IN ROMANIA
Let me tell you - when I was a student, we went by train almost every summer weekend: we got on the train in the morning, bound for the mountains (Sinaia, Bușteni or Brașov most often), we looked for two seats by the window and enjoyed a good book , while the landscape was changing completely. There we visited something, walked around, enjoyed the view and the coolness, ate something good and returned to Bucharest in the evening. Relax completely. Well, I miss that feeling.

What You Need To Know About Costa Rica That Nobody Tells You
I took a “taxi” (i.e. not a red taxi but one that had Turismo sticker on it as many tour companies use their fleet as “taxis”) that the hotel approved of and met an elderly driver who spoke some English and relied on Google Translate for the rest. I paid him $25 US to drive the 10 km distance to the European School which is comparable to the taxi fare from the airport (10 km also). Although it was located only 10 km away from my hotel, it took about 30 minutes to get there due to traffic at 11 am on a Friday. He was so friendly and enthusiastic that I ended up hiring him for the day. He quoted me $20 per hour and I thought it was reasonable.

A Trip to Remember With My Love
It had been over three years since I went on a proper trip (all thanks to the pandemic…Ugh!) and I couldn’t resist dreaming about travelling day in and out. Sydney had been one of my topline destinations since forever and I couldn’t have been happier when I won two tickets in a lucky draw at a travel fair in my neighbourhood. So, in case you’ve been wondering why my blog has been quiet for a while, here’s why! I was in Sydney, the Emerald City, with my sweetheart. If you’re curious, here’s how the trip went by.
