Parque Maritimo el Coco San Juan del Sur

... started to get stuff ready. As fast as we could run to the store to get the ingredients she listed, she cleaned and filleted the fish, made an amazing marinade, got the pan ready, set the fish frying, and cleaned up. All we had to do was take the fish out of the pan and enjoy a very fresh and tasty meal! <br><br>Tonight, finally, we´re headed out to search for turtles, and then tomorrow we´re headed to Costa Rica. Another update will follow!

... it didn&#8217;t move, but there again I wasn&#8217;t crashing around either, that it was probably a python, so with a 'Oh my God, that&#8217;s a snake&#8217; and a &#8216;phew I&#8217;m observant enough to have seen it before I trod on it.&#8221; I calmly retreated (read ran) back up the path<br><br>Mini Moto Adventure<br><br>Monday arrived and James and I decided to go on a mini-adventure and head to Isla de Ometepe the next day on his bike. After much debate I decided ...

... One of the volcanoes was<br>mega giant and even though I knew it would be hard, I really wanted to<br>climb it.<br> We picked up two new members to our troop on the<br>barge. Two ditzy Canadians who had just been backpacking through Cost<br>Rica where they adopted a stray dog and tried there best to travel<br>around with it. Who does that? Anyway the dog couldn&#8217;t cross the<br>boarder into Nicaragua so they didn&#8217;t have it anymore. One ...

... countries I've been to, this has to be on my top 20 list. It was incredible. The sand the perfect, the ocean clean, and the harbor around it was a sight to reveal in.<br><br>We quickly found a spot to park the Wesley, an ocean front property, <br>and made our way over to a bar with beach chairs and hammocks. Devin <br>did a little work while I jumped in the ocean. We spent the last few fading hours of daylight enjoying the sunset ...

... to a telephone, all we had was a beautiful, pristine beach about 30 seconds from where we lay our heads - perfection! We hadn't even planned on going there, our initial intention being to stay in San Juan del Sur, but Emily and Christina, the American chicas we travelled from Tamarindo with, persuaded us to come here instead. That decision may have been one of the best I've made in the seven months, so kudos to them!<br><br>As I was saying, there is not much ...

... up to Nicaragua. The border crossing took about 2 hours and was hot as hell with hords of people constantly trying to sell you stuff but other then that the trip was ok.<br>I made it to my destination (San Juan del Sur) at about 5pm and started looking for somewhere to stay. An English couple in San Jose reccommended a place called Arena Calienta so when I saw that I walked inside to check it out.<br>Its basically just some Nicaruguan blokes house/surf shop with a few extra rooms that ...

... again that time around. Besides surfing, there´s really not a ton left except reading, beaching and drinking. It´s a really fun place, though. By day we went to Maderas Beach, picturesque and peaceful, and by night hit up basically the only bar in town. The night also brought a few others out of the woodwork: transvestites. Seriously, the town seems to be rather notorious for their presence, especially the stories ...

... a "colmena" (bee's house). "take care", I told Amelia. And then, I don't know how (I am a disaster with the "remos" of the kayak) I kick twice the "colmena". And the *******s attacked me. I just realized the pain, I shouted and jumped inside the dirty waters, in the mud. They stooped but then I was already histeric. I wanted to go up the kayak and I almost make it fall down. I could no go further in that stupid river with those killer anlimals...so I went walking in ...

... at 11:15am. Grab a taxi to Playa Roca Hotel in Las<br>Penitas, hopefully be there by 1pm. Check into the room at the beach<br>hotel and then grab a drink at the bar which leads to hitting the surf.<br>Las<br>Penitas is a small fishing village just outside of the colonial city of<br>Leon. Beach houses dot the coastline along with 2-3 hotels and ...

... learn surfing is still a magnet to stay. So I hope some of my letters to the ranches and hotels on the beach will be successfully... Some more informations: we have more than 35 degrees in the midday, in the nights it is mostly 26-29 degrees, i think. It is even for me very hard now... and water and electricity are not working at some time... now it is ok, but the next blackout will be here soon... :-)
