And we are off....

Freezing cold as we left for the station at 4am, but the RailAir coach to Terminal 5 was warm and fast. Time for a full English breakfast before the flight to Madrid. However this was delayed for 20 minutes because the battery in the aircraft steps had gone flat in the cold. That meant a brisk walk to catch the Costa Rica flight at Madrid, but no drama. Both flights were smooth and easy. At San José airport we were met by a representative of the coach company and ended up with our own private minibus straight to the hotel in the city centre. Arrived at 6pm local time and called it a day!
