Back in San Jose and back at Costa Rica Backpackers, I enjoyed my morning coffee on the terrace chatting to another traveller. I had one more thing on my list to do before taking an Uber to the airport. As I travel light, I leave any souvenir shopping to the last day before I leave. I wanted to go the historic City Markets to find a couple of things to take home.
I arrived shortly after the markets opened and I found what I wanted. I also had time to have a poke around this traditional market that has been in operation since 1880. There was a myriad of items one could purchase from fresh produce to flowers to little birds in cages. Tourist stalls primarily ringed the outer edge, but the inner workings were as traditional as it gets.
Then it was back to the hostel for a quick shower before checking out and heading to the airport for the long flight home. It had been a magical six weeks and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Even though I had my challenges, Costa Rica prevailed and will always remain in my memories. Pura Vida, Costa Rica and thanks for hosting this wild woman during her wanders through your beautiful country. Adios!
