The border crossing took four hours and cost 30 US$. Other border met we Chuck from the USA, likewise with the motorcycle on the way direction South America, and drove on together. The Panamericana is nearly completely concreted and partial in Costa Rica in very bad condition. Where the concrete is broken develops enormous holes. We passed many building sites at those the roadway are repaired and/or made new. The road leads by tropical jungle and in the crowns of tree hopped apes back and forth in addition, at the soil crossed many animals the way. Tobias would have had nearly a collision with one over two meters long iguana. In addition, another species is here very frequently represented, which one knows in addition, from at home: Police with radar pistols. There are not localities a great many and we drove for hours by nearly deserted areas. Over to search we drove a night lodging to the coast, since it is there nevertheless somewhat more animated as in the interior and landed in Puntarenas. Except a few hotels and Souvenierstaende it gave to see there not much. We ate with Chuck in a small restaurant at the conditions to evening and adjusted our ullage with beer. The nights here feel still hotter than the days. On the next morning we had to already again say good-bye to Chuck, since it wanted to remain over the weekend in Puntarenas and on Monday into the capital San Jose to the BMW workshop had. Also we had after San Jose, because by the city leads the Pan to in the middle, those somehow at all the character of a capital do not possess and everything were somewhat strangely here… Southeast from San Jose went it highly over a passport on over 3300m and it became cool. But on the other side it went already again down there into the Schwuehle of the tropical jungle. We saw a great many animals, most however unfortunately over-driven at the roadside. Kurvig went it along the Rio Terrab through a ravine and afterwards through even country direction Panama
