  • On the move and strange trip!!!

    2024年11月26日, コスタリカ ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    We moved about 10kms to Puerto Viejo. It is the largest tourist town on the Caribbean coast. This apartment is off the main road and we needed to go to an ATM so we got an Uber. The place was hard to find and suddenly the windscreen broke!!! A large iguana fell from a high tree and landed on the car!! The poor iguana looked stunned, but soon scrambled away. The poor taxi driver had a very badly shattered screen and a huge dent in the bonnet.もっと詳しく

    Well what about this.

    Booked our fare from Cahuita to San Jose yesterday for 9:30 this morning. While waiting for the bus a guy announced that the road had collapsed and the bus was heading further north to take a different route and therefore it would take 2 hours longer. Also, as we had only paid for the shorter route we now had to pay an extra 5USD because we are taking a longer route!!! I did question why are we being charged to make a detour we didn't want or ask for, and was told to check the T&C. So we paid.

    Now it gets better.

    An hour into the journey we make a schedule stop and upon leaving the driver announces that the original route is now open and the journey can continue as scheduled, but you don't get your money back!!!

    Can you believe this shit!!! Even Ryanair couldn't have dreamed this one up!!!

  • Last night

    2024年12月3日, コスタリカ ⋅ 🌧 23 °C

    Back safely back in Alajuela. In a wonderful hotel!! Had a evening in town and saw some pretty Xmas lights and had a Mexican meal.

    Last day and got a very early flight (6am) so not going to be much of a last evening.

    We arrived Heathrow at 7am Thursday so booked train from St Pancreas to Mansfield for 11:30 and hopefully 5 hours is enough time to catch it. The train was £15 cheaper than national express bus, which only goes to Nottingham. They do like to rip you off at airports. Fingers crossed all goes well!!
