Playa Hermosa, Province of Guanacaste, Costa Rica, 506-672-0272
... to come up, Jason, another surf guide, decided to drive us to El Oeste. El Oeste kinda breaks like San Onofre but the wave itself was pretty challenging. We surfed til sunset and scored some great waves. The water is so warm in Costa Rica that you are literally sweating in the water. Beats wearing that damn wetsuit anyday. Salud everyone! Off to get some dinner and check out some local bars. Pura Vida! Adios!!
Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica noreservations... few more pointers from some other surfers, plan on going back out this afternoon to get some practice in. A few people went snorkling...I thought about it but I am bit tired and sore...and want to go back and surf later, so I figured I would update and upload some photos from the rodeo, which it was so dark there are not a lot of good pics, but I should be getting a bunch from everyone at a later time, some pics from ...
Tamarindo, Costa Rica albert413... be so unprepared for the power of the ocean, it's unbelievable. The hotel is very nice, I have a fill ocean view, my own little pool, and the food has been amazing - fruits, fruits, fruits, and either chicken or seafood at night. There are chickens everywhere, walking through the streets, peoples' yards, etc. The cook at the hotel is awesome - even got me to try rice and beans, with eggs! I think that I am going to traverse the jungle, which is just across the "road" from ...
Playa Hermosa, Province of Guanacaste, Costa Rica court0... and we can use their kitchen to cook. We ate dinner at a restaurant called Pescado Loco, which means crazy fish. I had a fish taco. The beach is clean but busy. It is the last week of summer vacation for the Ticos. I boogie boarded and I went through the washing machine a few times too. There are ...
Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica travellerdaltonThis morning we went walking with Will. He knew everything...........birds, bugs, plants, WEEDS, monkeys, community gossip, Guanacosta economics......we hiked starting at 6:30 a.m. A tad early if you are on vacation, but of course the best time for birds. And we were gifted with wonderful new friends and great sounds. Sonny, of course, was in heaven talking about invasive species. Will talked about how the native plants are strong and prolific. He has turned vast areas of ...
Playas del Coco, Costa Rica kaushansky... just don't sell them here. We headed "home" to Las Olas for our last 6 nights to enjoy Aaron's cooking and the extra power of the waves of Playa Hermosa. Unfortunately, the swell was dying here too, with only small weak waves. Cameron (part owner of Las Olas) and Christian (employee of the month) took us surfing down the beach further where it picks up more swell. There is a turtle conservation farm where we surfed and our visit coincided with the release of over one hundred ...
Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica peteandmandyWe are still getting to grips with the local buses and timetables (on the journey up to Playas del Coco we got the time wrong and ended up chasing the bus in a taxi, which is really easy as the buses stop v often and get stuck on 1 way bridges, which was where our taxi caught it up.....pulled in front of the bus, the driver hops off and casually loads our bags). This journey we were back in the confusing terminal trying to figure it out when we got offered a good taxi fare to go ...
Bahia Salinas, Costa Rica cat6698... before it hooked him and threw him over it's back. Amazingly they guy managed to get up after wards although not without a pronounced limp and I guess other injuries. The fiesta didn't seem quite so appealing after that so it seemed a suitable excuse to retire to the bar on the beach. Sari was delighted here by some dancing girls in skimpy clothing promoting a beer. She said they were bad dancers but I hadn't ...
Potrero, Costa Rica simonandsariSince yesterday was the first day of Hanukkah, I celebrated by going to a traditional Jewish supper. There were about 20 of us from all over the world, but mostly from the Middle East. There was a prayer and communion before, then we mowed down on some good grub. It was really interesting to be in Costa and celebrating Hanukkah with people from all around the ...
Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica porgirlOur journey here from Isla Ometepe consisted of a ride in the back of a truck, a boat trip, a collectivo taxi (for lots of people), a very long wait at the border, and two more bus rides. The first bus trip was slow because we were stopped twice by Costa Rican police...everyone was ID-ed. The second trip was slow because the bus stopped every few minutes for people to get on/off. So many people got on that there were no seats and we were ...
