Woke early and had breakfast of dry biscuits and coffee. Met Welsh couple again and chatted until Gustavo arrived at 9 with the bike. Went out for coffee to a smart local café and discussed cycling and our life storys for an hour or so. Wandered around Alajuela full of hope that Iberia could manage to deliver the missing bag. Finally found a map of Panama when I did not need one – none could be found in Panama. Bought one of Nicaragua. The bag arrived and we headed off to drop off Gustavo’s bike racks at Denny’s – only 6 km cycled but one near miss with a bus. Back at Mango Verde hostel to gorge on English chocolate and Tetley tea. A lazy day to rest and acclimatize.
