Puerto Viejo – Day 9 (evening)
Sunday, March 11th, 2007Roberto was kind enough to take us into town so we could buy our bus tickets for our trip the next morning. The ticket office was a little busy, but that wasn’t surprising considering a bus was leaving for San Jose soon. I thought it was nice that the man working in the office first helped those trying to make the 4:30 bus and we didn’t mind waiting. However, we found our patience being tested when we were told that he didn’t have much change and we couldn’t use large bills (I think I had a 10,000 colones note). He then decided to go to the bank to get change and kicked us out of the office. We walked down to a little bar to get a Coke (and change) and then went back to the office to wait for the man to come back. He did hurry back, but said he didn’t get enough change…so we were very happy that we got smaller bills.
