The Curse of Peurto Viejo

I was beginning to wonder if I was ever going to leave Costa Rica. I got as far as getting everything packed on Saturday and was just about to load the bike when I discovered a flat rear tyre. Rather than rush the repair I decided to stay an extra day. On Sunday I actually got as far as loading the bike and starting it. Unfortunately it then died and wouldn't restart. A bit of mechanical attention and I finally managed to leave on Monday.
