Agapi Apartmentos Puerto Viejo

Sunday morning, we woke up and started our travel day by heading north for a few hours along the Pacific Ocean. We ended that same travel day by heading south for nearly an hour along the Atlantic Ocean, and connected them with a scenic drive through Costa Rica. I think for both of us, this was the first time we had seen both of these oceans in the same day, which was pretty neat.<br ...

... mir und dem ganzen ein Moskitonetz<br>ist).<br>Die Lodge liegt fast einen Kilometer in den Dschungel hinein,<br>aber da die Besitzer mir ein Fahrrad geliehen haben, wann immer ich es<br>brauchte, war das kein Problem ueber die Holperstrasse schnell zum<br>Strand zu gelangen. Mit dem Wetter hatte ich auch richtig Glueck -<br>eigentlich jeden Tag Sonne, bis eben zumindest...jetzt schuettet es.<br ...

... small, quaint beautiful Puerto Viejo! The roads are lined with beachside shops, restaurants, you name it, this small place is happening! Sounds of regge music echoed in the streets, surfers, tourists and locals walked the streets, wow, what an experience. We then headed to the beach. It was a bit cloudy yet very warm and humid. It was fantastic to feel the warm caribbean waters, diving under waves and at that ...

... is relative. We got to and from the harbor by way of a rickety-looking motorcycle operated by a paunchy forty-something guy. I was afraid the bike wouldn't hold all three of us, or would skid out on the first turn on the gravel road, but somehow we made it. We might have walked just as fast, but once I stopped fearing for my shins, I was able to enjoy the ride. Caitlyn and I put sunscreen on each other's backs, but she said she'd do her own lower back and then forgot ...

First of all, I have added some photos to this blog. Technology huh? It´ll never get the better of me!!! Travelled down from San Jose to Puerto Viejo in the south-eastern corner of Costa Rica on 3rd July for a few nights. First night's stay was in a hammock at a place called Rocking J's - it was an experience, to be sure, but not one that was repeated on the 2nd and 3rd nights. Call me a snob but I can't handle communal toilets and ...

Mon premier weekend con los espagnols y autres volontaires de APPTA (une sous-association de ANAI qui fait des commerces equitables) s´est passé à Finca Lomas, né d´un projet de ANAI pour créer une ferme organique. En preparant mon sac, on m´a prevenu qu´il n´y a pas d´electricité ni l´eau potable. Il faut être préparée pour une aventure dans la campagne. Loin d´être découragée, j´étais toute contente de pouvoir profiter de mon panal ...

... on the eastern coast since we arrived. The weather has been beautiful...hot, sunny, blue skies....and we only have a LITTLE sunburn. We started in Cahuita, where after a small bus mistake, we took a hike along the beach trail...and saw some monkeys, including howler monkeys which make an obnoxious sound that makes us all laugh. We also saw a giant green lizard and a bunch of crabs. Crabs are the best ...

... dies** Gegend (von Cahuita ueb** Pu**to Viejo nach Mazanillo) wechseln sich weisse und schwarze Strände ab. Die Brandung ist gut und ausgezeichnet zum Surfen geeignet. Das Schwimmen wird all**dings auch hi** (wie in Tortugu**o) nicht unbedingt empfohlen. Lustig ist das Fahren rund um Pu**to Viejo: Schott**pisten und Asphaltstrassen wechseln sich ab. Durch die Stadt ist gete**t, danach gibt´s Richtung Sueden wied** Schott**piste. Oft ueb**holen die Einheimischen auf ...
