Costa Rica
From wild life to wildlife (Drive Day 83 minus 14 years)
Ours is the only camper parked on the grounds of Hacienda Inocentes and we could probably skinny dip in the chlorinated outdoor pool. But that’s a little too au-natural – all the other animals are profoundly plumed and gloriously garbed. In the shadows of Volcan Orosi, it is a feathered, fashion show: Blue Morpho butterflies, Scarlet Macaws, Chestnut-mandibled Toucans and the resplendent but too-shy Quetzal out there somewhere.

Innocence lost and found (Drive Day 82 minus 14 years)
We could turn off the Pan-American and take a detour to San Juan del Sur – sister to the hardscrabble northern outpost. But after talking to the farmers in the streets of Managua yesterday it doesn’t seem right to jump from suffering to surfing, protests to partying. So we cross another frontera and end up at a volcanic research station turned eco-lodge. After the intensity of Nicaragua, Costa Rica’s Hacienda Inocentes is a welcome respite and we camp next to night blooming flowers in the moon shadow of a volcano.
