Costa Rica

We arrived in Costa Rica at 1030pm and again a transfer was waiting for us. It is really lovely to arrive in a strange place and see a friendly looking face holding up your name. The airport is about 20 minutes from our accommodation and the driver showed us some of the sights on the way. First impressions were not good. 11pm at night and dark streets had some odd people in them, a few people asleep in doorways and in gutters, groups of partygoers sprawling accross streets in front of pubs and clubs. Most of the streets are not real wide and are mostly one way and one very noticeable thing were the bars and shutters over shop windows and the large amounts of razor wire along the tops of fences and gutters.
But next morning in daylight things were brighter, but more on that soon

Hmmm .. your first night in Costa Rica sounds an awful lot like Rundle Street last night!
..and don't you think things always look brighter in the daylight.. must have something to do with the sun!
