Puerto Limon, Costa Rica
John Watson
This is not a great port if you wish to get out and about but don’t want to take
a tour, whether on your own, and there are lots of folks outside the gates
willing to take on a tour, or a ship’s tour.
There is a post office where it is very cheap to send cards home. Ten stamps
cost $1.50 and some had arrived by the time we got home. We have had much slower
mail from Europe for much more money. The market is OK and the gardens close to
the dock did allow the sighting of sloths, owls, grackles and other birds.
There is also a market in town which is similar to those in Barcelona etc. and
worked out to be a very good shelter from the torrential rain we had for about
half an hour.
