Costa Rica

Wednesday Nov 12, 2008



Up for brkf at 6 am this morning, seems we can't sleep in no matter what.

From our balcony we notice we are creeping into port. We see 3 to 4 larger fishing boats on our port side. They are quickly sailing towards up and cross right in front of us! It's a wonder we didn't hit them.

At brkf our Captain tells us they are blocking our dock. Communication is underway with LA to find the problem. There is another port an hour away, Puerto Caldera, so we try and then find taxi cabs blocking all the roads in and out of the dock area. Seems some problems within the country itself and it isn't safe for our departure. So no excursions for us here. Stewards tell us this is a first, it's never happened anywhere before! (In checking since being home, we find nothing on the net telling us what happened. So it remains a mystery!)

As the nightly comedian said "We all saw Coastal Rica today, how did you like it?" Here is a 'coastal' pic from our port side.
