Samara Pacific Lodge Playa Samara

<br><br><br>Well, right now I'm about four days into two weeks of traveling without Tracy. I'm hanging out with Paul and Anne. They're Aussie so we drink a LOT of beers together all the time. Their ability to speak Spanish is worse than mine. And they promise to help me get from Montezuma to Samara. Easily. No, this is not going to be easy.<br><br>It turns out, the bus they were taking me to from Paquera to Nicoya ...

... 15 timer blev det til - dejligt og tiltrængt. Søndag Søndagen skulle bruges på noget afslappende og samtidig en masse sol, så vi bestilte tid til en bådtur. Vi gik ned i byen og fandt en hyggelig restaurant som lavede det bedste morgenmad. Sjældent har vi da spist så meget. Vi bestilte spejlæg, omelet, frugttallerkner og pandekager. Vi sad ved et 4-personers bord, og det kneb med at finde plads til alle tallerknerne. - Det var super lækkert og ikke ...

... sit in the air conditioning as it was so freaking hot. We sat around talking about the week and Johnny slept...he was MVP, he was a party machine, though I would say I only really know him for about 24 hours total as we would be MIA for a day to two, now and then. Headed to the gate, got to see Sean before he boarded, then we sat for a few hours waiting for our flight which was supposed to be delayed like by an hour or so but was not that late and we made up time in the air. Only 20 ...

... love being here, I love being on long term vacation, I love seeing things I may never see again, I love meeting fellow travelers and all of us feeling that we have time to chat and ask where the other one has been. I especially have loved chatting with locals in spanish and gaining new insight into their thoughts and aspirations. I usually always end up with a phone number and a invite to come see them or if i need any help. Thats why I ...

... colons to Nicaraguan cordobas, and I figured out later that he had only given me half the amount he should of. I knew there was a reason why I didn´t change money at the borders before now. But my greatest adversity is the amount of bus traveling I am doing, and trying to find a new cheap hotel every night. I am still in good spirits and looking forward to finishing my trip through Central America, next stop Nicaragua.

... me a chart that said it had to be 70 by the company rules or something.. I kept saying to much, and I had no money and could not pay until I got it to 55$.. I mean I did need a ride. Gustobo! my taxi driver. So cool, young guy that right off the bat told me I paid for this ride and we could do what ever I wanted, Drink beer, get food, sing... Whatever! So we grabed a sixer of Imperial and pounded a few on the Hour long drive to Tamarindo. Gustobo to his credit only had 1. He ...

... around for sets. I'm hoping to go out again later on when the tide comes up and really hoping that waves get a little cleaner. Right now, it's kind of nice to relax, although I must admit that I haven't felt this chilled out for a loooong time. All I do is surf, eat, sleep and have a lot of fun discovering a new country. You can't really argue with that!! Tomorrow, I'm off again. I'm getting a boat across to get to Jaco and I will be staying in ...

... and frustratingly slow and expensive internet connection whilst emailing Helen, Francie's Mum, who was kindly booking us some air tickets to Ireland at that very moment. Sam is taking anger management classes to cool his hatred of slow internet and computers in general, and taking his prescribed chill pills!! Off to get in some jungle time in Monteverde, before heading back to the beach in a couple of days. Hasta Pronto!!

... con, actually woke up freezing in the night which hasn't happened for quite some time! Didn't really do much for the rest of the day. felt fairly down in the evening because I wasn't really with anybody. Think I went to bed at like 8.30 without even having dinner! Changed to the hostel the next day which was much better! This would have been Friday 15th. Yeah wandered round a bit in the morning and chilled, bumped into the americans again. they were quite annoying really ...

... was putting on an awful good drowning act. I swam with her on my back, and under my arm and had an almighty struggle for the rest of the swim towards the island. With a dog trying to climb onto my head and drown me and a little rip pulling us along at the same time. The damn dog was freaking out a little and i was having enough trouble just getting myself across to the island, now i had a dog under my arm to add to the dilemma. We were eventually washed onto the island and ...
