Need a ride?

When tourists emerge from the arrival hall at the Liberia Airport, they are confronted with a crowd of drivers waiting to see if they need a ride. In many cases the drivers will hold signs for people who have made reservations.

This fellow is typical of the tourists arriving in Costa Rica. He looks a little bewildered as he surveys the scene and figures out what to do or where to go.

I always make a reservation for a rental car in advance, and the car rental company will always have a driver with a sign with my name when I arrive. Most people who rent our condos do not rent a car, and my property management company has two drivers who will meet their flights with a sign with their name and bring them to the condos.

As you can see in this photo, the drivers are respectful and stay behind the fence.

We are showing photos of Bellagio, Italy, and Lake Como this week on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site. Come see the location that inspired a Vegas casino.

  2. We were glad we rented a car, though. We got to see so much more of the region. Besides, I do not sit still well.
