Flat Thomas in Tamarindo, Costa Rica

Flat Thomas Talbot has recently been spotted down beach side in Central America. Flat Thomas accompanied Martin and Magda Harding to Tamarindo, on Costa Rica's Pacific Coast. According to the Hardings "This was his first day, so he hadn't acquired a tan yet"!
According to Wikipedia, the first European to reach Costa Rica was Christopher Columbus in 1502. Costa Rica declared its independence from Spain in 1821. By 1821, Thomas Talbot had managed to acquire more than 65,000 acres for himself , referred to by some as his "palatinate or princely domain", in the townships of Dunwich and Aldborough.
