Within 10 minutes of arrival in a tiny village in Costa Rica (hardly a sprawling metropolis) locals arrived at the boat with items for sale including beer, cigarettes, ice creams, fruit, vegetables, diesel, waste services, an offer of take-away pizza and freshly brewed coffee in thermos jugs. I think this is possibly one of the best examples I have seen of the entrepreneurial spirit I was taught about in A-Level economics. Would this happen in England? I understand that the prices increased as each pair of boats arrived. Hats off to them! Still trying not to keep busy but each time I sit down I think of something else I can do to improve the dinner. Roasted red peppers (from the Costa Ricans) for a start. Relaxing tomorrow, honest!
