Sunset Reef Marine Hotel Mal Pais

... mewing stray cat that woke us up came to the restaurant. I am not sure what happened to the cat, but we didn’t see him again that morning.

Oscar met us at the hotel and helped us pack our luggage into the van and we were off on our way to Mal Pais. It was going to be another fairly long day of driving in the car. At least Oscar’s van was comfortable and had good air conditioning.

The view as we drove out of Monteverde was ...

... for the day are hang out in the hammock and listen to the birds and monkeys, go down to the beach, drive to another beach, or do one of the excusions like Ziplining, snorkeling, etc. Based on our experience with the ATM and the bank, we strongly recommend getting your Colones before you go. Also, the stores DO NOT accept American Express Traveler's Checks. They ran into a ...

... blokes! good times though hit the nice surf breaks on the beach for a few days catching up on my rusty surfing skills, caught a couple of nice waves before my almost healed hand gash got too soggy. so my cut to the bone is healing nicely adding to the already plenty scared right hand. heading back to montezuma for one last day this year, wink wink. Anyway lets get to the ...

Getting from A to B in these parts ainŽt always quick nŽeasy as IŽll demonstrate. We took a boat to Changuinola in the north of Panama and then a taxi to the bus terminal. The bus takes ...

... we were talking about and he beckoned us down into a dark and dingy area of the bus station. We followed the guy with caution as we thought we might get mugged or worse still he could pour the contents of that container all over us. But his intentions were genuine and he led us to the correct place. So i gave him 1000 colones.(about a quid) for his trouble. We got on the bus which went ...

... anytime with anyone over the holidays, but, we are thinking of everyone on this distribution list. Everyone, I am serious, this means YOU. On Monday we will leave Central America and head for South America to the southern most tip of the continent in a town called Ushuaia. I am a bit sad to leave Central America, but, we have had some great times here and I expect that we will have equal experiences in South America. Adios for Now Niko y Sarita

... it to Cobano. Now for the final leg, we decided to get a taxi to Mal Pais, which was a boneshaker of a ride, to put in perspective the most common mode of transport here is quad bikes! Mal Pais is v quite at the mo, we're out of season. We're the only guests at our resort and only couple at the restaurant across the road, and had our sunset drink....you guessed it, on our own. We're really happy tho...muy tranquillo ...

... IŽm so close! But didnŽt realise that I was goofy (right leg forward) till the third lesson. Of course I was going to be goofy!! Great fun though. So Santa Teresa was a great spot and I would love to back in the high season when the partying really gets started...The owner of brunells had some good stories and a free T-shirt each for Lianne and I, after he snapped us for the website. And Lianne decided to come to Nicaragua with me. Yeah!

... take 3 diff ones to get here and they just so happened to get off at the stop across from where i am now and jersey guy said "are u looking for rob and kalen?" Freaked em out but luckilly they made it to the beach. Then we headed back to the case in san juaniillo and hung out. In the kitched I noticed something crawling up the wall...A Freaking SCORPION! 5 inches long. I proceeded to use my awesome surefire tactical ...

So here I am back in Montezuma again. I was here 2 years ago by myself, and now I am here with my husband. Back then I would sit in this same internet cafe, at this same computer writing emails to John telling him how much I missed him (that was the first trip that I actually would rather of not been travelling by myself).... oh and I would be telling him how damn hot it was here... and so I write it again... it is so damn hot here! At least this time there are 2 of us, so to stay at a ...
