| what the 6km hike out of Costa Rica was for |
WHERE: San Juan del Sur
WHERE (less detailed): small surf town in southern Nicaragua
WHEN: t-60 to t-55
WHY: so Paul can have another chance to try and become at least a bad surfer
 |
| Rhaani and Damo (a fellow London-based Aussie) test out the Mango Daquiris |
PEOPLE ARE: old friends, met up with a friend from our San Blas crossing and made new friends at Casa Olas. The hotel owner was in a constant state of war with the loud hostel next door and police reports, broken pipes and angry phone exchanges were a daily source of entertainment.
FOOD IS: the beachfront taco stand may actually have lived up to it's boast of serving the worlds best fish tacos. Our hotels breakfast pancakes were pretty terrific too.
WEATHER IS: beautiful sunshine, and unlike Costa Rica thunderstorms pass in a few minutes.

| sure he's friendly, try getting that food out of his hand and see just how friendly he is |
HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS: fish tacos at the surf-shack .... Paul finally rides the green waves ...the hotel bars honour system which saw Rhaani effortlessly adjust her family's traditional beer'o'clock time from 5pm to 1pm ... a proper infinity pool with a beautiful view ... watching local kids use sticks to poke a massively hungover friend as he lay groaning in a beachside hammock ... watching fellow guests misjudge the friendliness of Buzz, our hotels "cuddly" monkey ... watching a 50-year old mother have a drunken shit-fit/breakdown in a moving vehicle ... Paul massively misjudges the distance between the surf spot and the hotel as he decides to walk home foam the surf, two hours later he arrives home
UP NEXT: Grenada & Leon
