Well, I didn´t make it to either the Pacific Coast or Caribbean coast this weekend ! I had sort of decided to head up towards Guanacaste and on to Playa Coco but the bus left at 8 in the morning from Central San Jose, that would mean me having to get out of bed at about 6:45am .... I haven´t changed that much, I couldn´t do it ! There was another bus at 2pm but by the time I would have got there I would have wasted the day.
So - I looked at the map, found somewhere vaguely interesting near San Jose - the town of Cartago. Jumped on a bus with my overnight bag and felt nice and spontaneous.
Cartago is quite a functional town (emotionally twinned with Felixstowe to quote Eddie Izzard again). It was hit by an earthquake a few years back and the church in the Parque Central was damaged, they´ve left it as is.
Booked myself into Hotel Dinastia, checked the map and saw a nearby lake and jumped on a bus to Paraiso where I had to get another bus to Cachi. Really beautiful lake views and waterfalls on the bus route which I unsuccessfully managed to photo.
Anyway, back to the kids tomorrow. I´ve decided to actively try and avoid the 3 year olds and spend more time with the 7 ish year olds. I feel as though I am achieving more with them !
I see Boro drew with Liverpool .... !
