... en aere i at vaere mest langsom og doven... For fremtiden blir Netto fuldstaendig en vild oplevelse for mig :)<br><br>Vi har ogsaa holdt Mix en drink aften, hvor vi gav en rigtig godt bud paa en tour drink (hojere og vildere), men det var vores laerer der loeb af med sejren. Og man maa sige at det var velfortjent.<br>Var desvaerre en mindre heldig episode med en lille brand i vores hus - og kan sige at jeg vist ikke egner mig som brandmand - men det blev hurtigt ...

... restaurant. The evening itself, we went to Summer-Salt, a divecenter that some of our friends had highly recommended, to fix the schedule of our dives. <br><br> As I had never tried diving before, we agreed on starting with a Discover Scuba Diving for me the day after, while my friends would try some local dives. I must admit I was a little bit stressed by the experience, but I was reassured to know that I would have an instructor ...

... to overrule the agent. As we were riding down to our stop tonight up rides Mike like he just stole the bike! We all laughed with him as he told his story. We are glad to have him back with us for however long, he is going to Argentina he says. We all had a hard time leaving him behind but nothing we could do. All of this graft has soured me to go on to Panama. There is a real chance I coud get caught like Mike in ...

... Marbar...the food is brilliant and great for the budget minded traveller. Kike's is great for Pizza and of course Kike's magic tricks....he owns the place and is a real treat!!! :o) Lind's and I caught the afternoon bus outta town to San Jose as she was flying back to Cayman and I was heading to Atlanta to see Emily and ship some of my stuff home form her parents basement....the reality of moving hoem is getting closer.....

... other country. The border crossing took a long time but I had a good time talking to all the truckers who were also waiting to cross into Costa Rica. They were mesmerized by the bike and I actually spoke to this one guy for almost 40 minutes, it was good practice for my poor Spanish! Jess had a worse time just standing in line but I'll let him tell you about it... So finally we are in Costa Rica!! After riding for about an hour we rode into the first ...

... hurt to laugh. It almost hurt just to breathe. We painfully hauled ourselves to breakfast, where we ran into a very happy Tracy and Darby, whose wedding song twenty years ago was "Endless Love," which was playing in the restaurant. Every day, the restaurant had themed music--yesterday was clearly cheesy 80s love songs. Most of the time it was bearable, but we did manage to convince the staff to change the music on Celine Dion day--it was too ...

... than the second before, as the sun appeared to melt into the Pacific. It's just stunning. Too beautiful to capture with a camera, unfortunately. While watching the sunset, we ran into an American couple we had chatted with before, and we sat down to talk with them. Darby and Tracy are two of the nicest people I have ever met. They live in North Carolina, and he is a pilot with Southwest Airlines (also known as ...

... left Nicaragua, but where do we find Costa Rica. Not a sign around, just a long queue for a baggage check we nearly join, until a lady tells us that is for entering Nicaragua. We stroll through what looks like a lorry park and a Nicaraguan lady working in Costa Rica adopts us - we are going in the right direction. We then see a small bent sign for the Costa Rican immigration office and queue again for the next stamp (luckily no onward ticket requested). Our adopted local then ...

... exist... shallow warm water (we were never in over our shoulders), nice waves with little undertow or strange currents, complete sandy bottom, and an extremely low history of shark snacking. And our teacher (an American girl from Pennsylvania) was soothing and patient, and really made you feel like you could do it. And what do you know... on my second attempt, I made it on to my feet and rode for about 10 seconds! Really cool. We spend the next few hours learning all the ...

... At least it was our biggest night out in C.R. so far, a whole 3 bottles of beer felt like a party compared to the previous weekend when I never got beyond the porch! The Spanish lessons seem to be going pretty well but having started at pretty much zero means that I haven't exactly learnt too much yet. So far I have spent most of the time in 1 on 1 lessons which are pretty intense but you learn lots. It's all in ...
