    A very interesting day. The guide suggested in advance we went to Cartago & I said I’d rather stick to the food markets & itinerary on the booking. On picking me up I agreed on a trip to Cartago. It was fascinating but we had a very quick in & out of the cathedral. I was given a pre booked ticket to the theatre. The guides were knowledgeable and amusing. We then had a very quick trip to the central market virtually running g everywhere. He was insistent on me having a meal. Suggested what I have. But despite having paid for my trip I paid for our meal & he asked for petrol money on dropping me at my hotel. I learnt a lot about Costa Rica but hard to call it a food tour & much more expensive than expected.
