Right. A quick update before we go as we have found a few small problems to change our plans yet again.
The flight to New York has been put back an hour, so we only get 3 hours from touch-down to take-off on the way out. Not so sure we are going to get to see anything there then. After customs and baggage claim then the time to clear customs again won’t leave many spare minutes - we’ll see when we get there as any further delays will just about leave us time to buy a hot lunch!
Secondly, we got a confirmation email from our hotel in Monteverde saying everything was fine and booked but we can only stay there 2 weeks - not 3. For apparently no reason we can think of, they only take people for a fortnight maximum? Weird, but we can check this when we are there or just find another place once we know what we like there. It’s quite a spread out place so we might prefer somewhere at the other end of town, you never know.
We also found that catching the train to the airport and back was around $140/£70 cheaper than taking the car or coaches. It’s a tiny bit riskier as we will have to travel down on the morning of the flight, but there are plenty of later trains if the worst happens…….
So, we’ve got all our essentials ready, the friend to house-sit, the bags packed, so all we need now is to actually catch the train to the airport.
See you when we get there……
