Hotel El Tajalin Montezuma

... heenweg, wat verdwenen is.....de giropas hadden ze echter achter gelaten in de midden console van de achterbank.
Dit moeten, gezien de snelheid waarmee het heeft plaatsgevonden, geroutineerde inbrekers geweest zijn. Aan de auto is geen spoor te vinden.

Gisteren kwam ook nog het nieuws dat de uitslag van het laatste onderzoek van Margreet er niet voor maandag gaat zijn......dus het weekend moet ze nog in het ziekenhuis blijven.

We balen als een stekker!!

... het meer te nemen en dan af te zakken. Volgens de schatting van Jan een kleine 130 kilometer. Afstanden en reistijden zijn hier moeilijk in te schatten...we zaten tot laat in de middag in de auto. In totaal hadden we 280 kilometer gereden en ja.....de boot vanaf Puntarenas duurt natuurlijk ook 1,5 uur.

Bij aankomst was het echt even zoeken naar een stekkie. Er waren meer mensen op het idee ...

... ride was very enjoyable. We saw tons of pelicans, some frigate birds, and even a brown booby. In Paquera the bus to Montezuma was waiting and a bumpy 2 hours later we were in funky little Montezuma. Our hotel was right in town which made it easy to sample many of the local restaurants. The rooms were comfortable and the airco ice ...

... dermabrasion. Now...Playa Grande: It is a very long, flat beautiful beach. The waves and body surfing is amazing and the water is warm, but not too warm. There's ************e on the beach with you, so there's lots of privacy and if you're into an all-over tan, no one will say a word to you. While we were in the water, we actually saw Rays swimming beside us hunting for food, and one of the coolest images ...

... lluvia primero solo una llovizna pero luego llovió a cantaros. Como hacia tanto calor disfrutamos de la tormenta. Miramos los relámpagos y escuchamos a los truenos desde el patio de nuestro hotel. La vista de arena y mar con la luz de relámpago fue increíble y algo que nunca voy a olvidar.

... finding unique ways to live their lives. The beach, the ocean, waterfalls, cliffs to jump and rope swings, cute little shops and restaurants, rainstorms, hammocks, sunsets...those are all the things Montezuma reminds me of, and I always will I'm sure. I think it's really the people you meet that make your travel experiences the most memorable though, I think this experience would hardly be worth remembering if I hadn't of met any of these people.

... to the atmosphere, the full moon cast a glinting light over the sea which was so bright we could make out the palm tree shadows around us. Our starter was grilled squid with a zucchini, lemon, garlic and spices mixture inside. Following this, Charlotte had the fillet main course which was so tender she only had to look at it before it fell apart. I had the pork ribs which were covered in a marinade that would make even the most *************t row rugby player shreak out ...

... and having a look, with nothing else to be doing. Bumped into Dave and Aoife, they just zoomed into town for a day on a quad they hired from the next village. Made plans to watch the Champions League final the following night. We have hit Costa Rica during rainy season and the rain is something else, it rained for most of our stay in Montezuma so we did a lot of sitting in hammocks watching the lightening storms, reading ...

... of run down but we like it. It gets so hot that it is almost unbearable to go to the beach between 12-3, our hostel has a huge open air room with mattresses and pillows and fans everwhere with a huge selection of movies, so when it gets hot everyone just lays around and watches a few movies everyday...I like it. The plans now are to stay here until Wednesday then figure out our next stops so we can easly meet up with Casey. 3.28 Not ...
