Costa Rica Adventure 1
Kerry, New Zealand, Feb 2018
Had a fantastic time, lots and lots of fun. Some of the accommodation was a little basic with no hot water for showers. But I spent a lot of time out and about so it didn't bother me too much. Had an awesome group of people from around the world aging from 20 to 70.
