Hotel Playa Negra Santa Cruz

... where everybody knows us and where we just let ourselves in with<br>our old key. Pretty great. In the early afternoon, Teddy went on a<br>booze cruise with Chelsea and Casey (see attached photo) around the<br>bay, and I laid out on the beach for a while. All in all, a great end<br>to a great trip. Tomorrow is one last travel day before I head home on<br>Friday. We are going to do one more blog entry reviewing the whole trip<br>in the next few days, so keep an eye out for that!

... Amelia said she didn´t want to go further and just went under a tree and layed down there. I told her I come back in 1 hour, the same I have got to the waterfall or not (it lacked 3 hours of sun, and a long way back to the hostel). I kept goping up, and sudenly the way stopped going up and after a while atarted going down very streight. And I came to the first waterfall. It was so nice, the river (thin) was making some small falls and then falling into the somewhere ...

... above our heads, and a crowd of locals looking on . One evening, after arriving home from a long day or surgeries, we were called out to see a dog that was "bleeding from the nose". We drove deep into the countryside to find a large dog, surrounded by some very concerned family members. The dog was giving us a rather disturbing smile. His lip had been ripped open to expose his teeth underneath, most likely by a wild animal in the ...

... Så det gæld** jo om at få sparet lidt inden, så d** ** penge til turen. Som nogle af J** måske har hørt har jeg valgt at blive en måned læng**e (Undskyld mormor - jeg lovede dig vist at komme hjem til tiden). To af mine gode venind** havde besluttet at blive læng**e, den ene til midten af April og den anden til omkring Maj ell** måske læng**e. Doro(hende jeg bor med nu) og jeg havde hele tiden holdt på at vi skulle hjem som planlagt, men så begyndte ...

... mest turister. Salsaaften plejer at være onsdag aften, og dette render jo desværre ind i juleaften og nytårsaften. Så vi må håbe at vi får set hende danse salsa en anden aften. Hun er for resten blevet rigtig hård til spansk og får meget ros af dem der bor her! Onsdag I aften er det juleaften.... Der er længe længe til. Hvad skal vi dog finde på ??? Vi startede ud med en tur til den lille frugtbod og fik købt noget morgenmad. Søren havde sendt en pakke ...

... so it was funny...the driver had a bum leg and was on crutches...was driving like a mad man...on bad roads...then we get to the place..we get fitted up with helmets and harnesses..then get back into vans and head up the mountain...of course all of us big guys get in the same van and we couldn't get up the mountain...just started spinning..we had to get out and walk the rest of the way..hhaha awesome. Tour was cool then we did ...

... Playa Grande is empty to a point of the antithesis of Tamarindo's crowds. From the beach across the river five crane booms were visible in the town, all belonging to large construction projects of retail malls or condos, in the continuing progression that has forever changed this previously small fishing village into a resort town.

... a turtle, octopus and a few fish....but visiblity varied a lot, and at times it was pea soup...... decided to hold Alex{s hand thru the bad patches after i nearly buddied up with a different diver cos I could barely see!! The other downside to the course is reading and doing homewk each nite, for each module. Glad to get that out of the way......been a busy 3 days in the end. But the plus side was the Rich ...

... of my own thoughts but that´s why I love her as she will listen and rarely tire - famous last words) We had to cross three rivers to get there and despite the danger of Crocodiles this was very fun. As we neared the town we met a local guy on a bike who walked and smoked with us while I racked his brain for local information. His brother pulled up on a moped and he jumped on the back and they drove off holding his bike in the air! We finally made it to the town at 9pm it ...

... like that, so I crush his trachea. His eyes roll back into his head and I calmly return to my book~ We arrive in San Jose and catch a taxi to Kabata Hostel. It's like a homecoming! The staff is so glad to have us back. We go out for sushi then attempt to finish up our souvenir shopping to no avail. Everything closes at 8pm. Guess maybe we are done! Back at the hotel we Internet.
