Nach sovielen Erlebnissen sehnten wir uns nach etwas Ruhe und sind
Richtung Pazifik aufgebrochen. Mit der Autofaehre uebergesetzt um einen
langen Weg zu sparen, sind wir am Mittag in Montezuma angekommen. Vor
einigen Jahren noch ein ganz vertrauemtes Fischerdorf - nun auch vom
Tourismus laengst eingeholt, aber trotzdem sehr schoene Straende in der
Umgebung. Ausserdem ein kleiner Nationalpark, den wir erkundet haben.
Morgen
geht es noch zu einem weiteren kleinen Nation...
Another weekend trip, this time to the beach town of Montezuma, which is across the water from Jacó. Ryan, one of the guys studying at the school this week, has hired a 4x4 in order to travel round Costa Rica for a couple of weeks afterwards, starting in Montezuma, and three of us, Monica, Mike and I, are tagging along. We drove up to Puntarenas and then got the car ferry across to Paquera, with Costa Rican music blaring out over the boat's PA system. At the other side of the bay it was appar...

After a slow start, due to us hitting up Chico's Bar in town last night, Monica, Mike and I walked to a nearby waterfall, which was pretty impressive, maybe 150ft high. It has a swimming hole at the base of the falls, with several jumping-off points which I made good use of. But I left my sunglasses on my head, as Mike shouted to me mid-dive; I tried to swim down to the bottom to find them but I couldn't get there, it was that deep! Fortunately they were only about $10 so no great loss. Later...

Mike and I headed back to Jacó early this morning as we've got classes most of the day, unlike Ryan, who is driving off to explore more of Costa Rica, and Monica, who isn't taking classes this week so is going to make her own way back to Jacó later on. Rather than taking the ferry route that we used to get to Montezuma, which takes half a day, we coughed up $35 to take the 6am speedboat directly from Montezuma to Jacó, that takes about an hour. This was an interminably long hour though; the w...

... slippery climbing to get under it, but it was the best shower I've had ever! ********stant water pouring down on you from above. It was just great!!! After having had our shower and enjoyed some delicious pineapple we walked to the river close by, where we had a more relaxing swim in the turquiose water. I left myself float, feeling happy while the current almost made me drift to the ocean. Then we got on our horses again, and passed by Playa Grande on our way ...

... we both love. We went snorkeling in the ocean with a tourist group. We were able to see all sort of interesting sea life, my favorite was the star fish. We had an amazing fresh lunch on a little island and then went back for a second round of snorkeling. Dan and I were the last ones to get in the boat. On our return to the main land we saw two giant whales! On another day off we did some hiking in Cabo Blanco park. It was a four hour hike with a beach stop in the middle. We saw ...

... called Agua Vista, for those not up on their Spanish, it means "Water View" and that's exactly what we have. This...is our view: In addition to a view of the water we have howler monkeys, white-throated Capuchin monkeys, and lots of different birds. The casita, is very nice with WiFi, a full kitchen, bathroom with shower, our own deck and "plunge pool". The plunge pool is very ...

... on it wooden platform outside a souvenir shop. When we approached it, we thought it was dead as it was lying on it´s side with it´s head flat on the platform. As we´d never ever seen a bird in this position before, we alerted the shop keeper who just laughed and said that was simply the way the parrot dealt with the heat. And sure enough when we turned around he was upright and squawking away. The "lying down" technique is obviously something that these island style parrots ...

... and hitting a few bars in the evening. The locals have been really cool in getting to know. It has been nice and relaxing, which is exactly what the doctor ordered. Hopefully have something more exciting to report from Peru. Love Nik xx

... Jenna are staying for a week to 10 days. I may feel I need to branch off or may also enjoy the company so am leaving it open. A friend Noah from Popoyo(surprise surprise) emailed me to see where I´m at as he just got back into Costa Rica, so we are trying to make plans to meet up soon, and then we may travel around together for a bit. I´m back into my social groove so am feeling good!! I´ll be sure to post some pictures of my ridiculously tan self soon!! Miss you all!!! Love Kirsten
