300 meters south of Playa Brasilito Playa Conchal, Province of Guanacaste, Costa Rica, 5519, 506-2654-5519
Okay, I haven't been able to submit any entries lately so I am backtracking now. I left off right before we headed to the beach. We were picked up by Interbus, a private shuttle company and began our journey to the beach. It took about 5 hours but the driver stopped a few times to let us get food or souvenirs. It is so strange how we meet people along the way and then see them again later on. We get into the van and I sat next to a girl that we met on our zip line tour the day before. She is ...
Playa Brasilito, Province of Guanacaste, Costa Rica jcrumrineToday we got up and started walking to the beach. We bought some snacks and water and the supermarket and made our way to Conchal Beach. The cool thing about that beach besides it being so pretty is that it has low hanging, wiry trees along it. So most of the day we just sat in the shade and relaxed. It was so nice. I finished two books this week! Kate worked on her tan and Jason and I are still really white. I layed in the sun a few times but only to dry off after going in the water. Figured...
Brasilito, Province of Guanacaste, Costa Rica jcrumrineToday we had another fantastic day on the beach. It was busier today and our spot was taken but we found another tree to sit under. It was quite breezy and warm today. Another day of relaxation for us :) That Italian restaurant was so good that we went back there again tonight. Jason got the lasagna this time. We were all full again! I forgot to mention that way back when we went to the butterfly garden in Monteverde we saw a tarantula wasp. We got there a bit after a tour had started so they...
Brasilito, Province of Guanacaste, Costa Rica jcrumrine... tropical fish. Susie and I still can't get over how perfect a beach this is for swimming and just hanging out. This was the first time we EVER spent more time in the beach than in the hotel pools.<br><br>For lunch we decided to try another local hangout called Marie’s. As soon as we sat down it started to sprinkle lightly followed by a torrential downpour. We felt lucky that it hadn’t rained the ...
Flamingo Beach, Guanacaste, Costa Rica susieandisidro... to be able to go there if we need something from the store or something. Ostional is a very small close knit community of Costa Ricans and it is very centered around the turtles because on the beach here there are what are called arribadas of Olive Ridley turtles where they come once a month by the thousands to lay their eggs. The people in the town work to clean up the driftwood from the beaches so that the turtles ...
Ostional, Costa Rica kaypea... be different and there would be plenty of party atmosphere and good times to be had in this under commercialsed town...a rare treat on the coast of Costa so if your looking for a chill spot with great surf...only a short walk and boat ride to the Tamarindo tourist trap then Playa Grande is the spot to come to...and while I'm plugging I think you should all stay at La Majada Hotel meaning The Swell Hotel in Spanish, and eat ...
Playa Grande, Province of Guanacaste, Costa Rica nenebene... as well as his mom´s cousins Sonya and Kelly and their husbands Dave and Mark. We got a day pass (thanks again Brenda and Steve!) which managed to last 3 days... :) We have spent 3 days lounging by the pool, utilizing the swim up bar, and having awesome meals. All 10 of us also went on a midnight excursion to the national park nearby, to see the leatherback turtles, and we were lucky enough to see a mama laying her eggs in the sand. It ...
Playa Conchal, Costa Rica rayganmsol... the highway to pick up another bus as a shortcut to stop going back into town and out again - and it works! Within minutes a bus to take us to the border with Costa Rica has picked us up. A bit too smooth for us! Slightly concerned as i we are meant to have an exit ticket from Costa Rica to enter the county - and i don´t we pay our $1 to get into no-mans land through a tiny gate in amongst stalls and vendors.. Take a lucky guess at the 3 queues to exit Nicaragua, with $2 we ...
Tamarindo, Costa Rica lizzatwell... but you get one free cocktail at Punto Pizza place plus discount for the Internet Cafe across from road. The guy is a bit rude but very very helpful for bus schedules and tour bookings. They offer the cheapest rate in the area. I booked my tour to the Rincon De La Vieja for tomorrow. It costs $10 for transportation to and from there. El Pali supermecado is the best place to shop for groceries and such.
Liberia, Costa Rica canadiansmiley... before it hooked him and threw him over it's back. Amazingly they guy managed to get up after wards although not without a pronounced limp and I guess other injuries. The fiesta didn't seem quite so appealing after that so it seemed a suitable excuse to retire to the bar on the beach. Sari was delighted here by some dancing girls in skimpy clothing promoting a beer. She said they were bad dancers but I hadn't ...
