| I road my familiar bus to San Jose Coca Cola Station and then a taxi to Pulmitan Station where I waited for the bus to Upala with everything indoors at this station, including the boarding of the buses. I nice terminal. |

| And if I had not eaten breakfast at home, I could have eaten here. I did have coffee of course and read a little of a Spanish language newspaper and the latest book on my Kindle while waiting. |
It was the same bus all the way to Bijagua with many brief stops picking up people. Yes, it was a “collectivo” stopping anywhere someone was at a stop and went into Alajuela Central to pick up a lot of people there. It was definitely best that I went to San Jose and got my favorite seat, the front right seat looking out the windshield all the way up! It was most of the way on Highway 1 and from Baranca on a very familiar route to me which we used on our “Visa Runs” that first year. And the Baranca bus station is also a restaurant with shops and big restrooms that I have stopped at many times, so quite familiar. We had a 20 minute break there. All other stops were along the road including my stop in Bijagua in front of a Soda. I found an unmarked taxi that took me to the lodge.
