Riding with our friend Dave in his three-year old Toyota, we left at 8am, stopped for about an hour to eat in Jaco, then drove into San Jose at shortly before noon, total driving time, about three hours. Both the new highway and the new road between Quepos and Dominical made this an easy run. However, as with any road in Costa Rica, you're only as fast as the slowest truck ahead of you. And, unfortunately, large, overloaded truck are already on the new road which tells me that it will be torn to shreds within a year. Just made the trip back from Dominical.
