During the night as we sailed from the Panama Canal to Costa Rica we were awoken by a massive thunderstorm with amazing lightning, loud thunder and pouring rain. We were glad we were tucked up in bed!
On arrival in Puntarenas it was very overcast, still warm but without the humidity. We walked from the ship along the shoreline past lots of market stalls that had been set up. The sand was black as Costa Rica is a volcanic area, with 3 volcanoes in this Central American country, but it was too misty to see them today.
We did some shopping, then stopped at a cafe for a beer while we caught up on wifi, as we've been away for a week without access to it! On our return to the ship for lunch we passed the old cathedral which was built in 1902.
After lunch we walked in the opposite direction and strolled along the tourist walk beside the beach, passing the park and aquarium on our way.
