1 May 2012 – Puerto Caldera, Costa Rica
I did nothing. There was nothing. We had a life boat drill and the port was miles away from the city and miles away from the place we docked last time. I took the tender to the port. Looked at the 12 market stalls there and went back to the ship with few minutes to spare. Embarrassing really, to come all the way to Costa Rica and do nothing! Anyway, such is ship life sometimes.

Vultures circled over us, which was a little unsettling. We went from tree to tree, landing on platforms that looked like tree houses and then we'd switch ...
From tropical train to river boat
Friday October 7 - Puerto Caldera Costa Rica
One thing which is immediately noticeable here in contrast to other ports visited is the lack of a military presence - there is no army here. Our guide tells us that there is an emphasis on education and that the literacy rate is 93%.
