After 3 days of rain we thought it was time to head to the coast in search of some sun. We had a night in Costa Rica's capital San Jose where we stayed in our first backpackers of the trip. The dorms were a bit shitty compared to what we are used to but it was cool to meet some other travellers.
In the city centre 3 stories underground was this wicked gold museum. Apparently this is the safest area in the city because of the huge number of armed guards, cameras and survelliance. It was like going through the airport with xray machines and guards following us who told me off when I tried to take a picture of the vault.
