My journey starts! The first days in latin america 1

As I explained in my last steemit post I travel around in latinamerica right now and I want to share my experiences from the first couple of days. After a 20 hour trip I finally arrived in Costa Rica at the Airport close to San Jose. The first thing i recognized was that it was really hot and I need to get used to that after the long winter back in Europe. I took an Uber to my hotel and had already a nice conversation with the lady that was driving me. Later I should find out that it's not normal at all that people speak english in latinamerica :) When I arrived in the Hotel it was still pretty early in the morning and they told me the checking is at 2 PM... So i had like 7 hours to overcome. I had no idea what to do so I did just put my drone and some water in my backpack and started walking up the hill.

As i walked up there i figured out that it looks like the people that worked on the road and the wall have the same work moral like me :) If there is a stone in the way don't destroy it to build the side walk. Just avoid even touching the stone and build the sidewalk around the stone. The same method can be used when you need to build a wall and suddendly a wild rock appears.

That was the hotel where i slept the first 2 nights to acclimate and get rid of my jetlag.
When i was walking around i saw all the time that cars where stopping next to the bus station and picking up people that where waiting for the bus. My thought was, oh what a nice community everybody helps everybody :) so at some point i thought alright i want to try that. The next time a random car stopped i said "hola" and sit inside. An older woman was on the backseat and was talking to the driver in spanish. I was sitting next to the driver and tried to understand something. But i didn't had any spanish classes before so I had no chance to understand something. When the women left the car I did finally realize that this is not for free because it's a so called "colectivo" like a cheaper kind of taxi. Because i didn't even had a destination to go and also almost didn't understand anything that the driver wanted to tell me I just made a handsign that he should leave me out right next to the road and i walked all the way back to my hotel.
At one point while walking around in San Jose I suddenly found this fucked up police car and that was the moment when I found myself really welcomed to this new continent i have to explore :)

Thanks for reading and I hope you will read my next post aswell ;)
I'm happy with every feedback or questions about my journey or me.
