Day 76. Costa Rica

Wow,  we are so excited to be in Costa Rica!   I have no idea what tour we have today!

The weather is not great - it's a shame as its a very beautiful Country they say.

I am very excited,  Clive has booked a Tour of Costa Rica that includes a trip to a Coffee Plantation!  I'm really looking forward to a good cup of coffee!

 First we go to a town with the Oldest Church in Costa Rica.  They haven't many really old buildings because of earth quake's. They have around two thousand tremors and quake's a year!  There is a pretty Square just in front of the Church.  There are lots of Iguana's, some are huge! They have a lovely water feature - fountains.  They are easy to walk over but they suddenly come on!  I can imagine kids love it when it's a lovely sunny day!

Next the Plantation!  It's so interesting - and good coffee also! They plant banana in between the coffee plants. Certain insects that would damage the coffee, also love the banana plant. We have a great tour and then a meal in their restaurant. Of course I buy coffee.

Next we go to The Botanical Gardens.  Lovely Orchids.  The only problem was it poured with rain!

Lovely day, but rather wet!!
