... the cue from Sir Mandy, I'd excitedly started to paddle with my both arms as the wave approaches from behind. Paddling, if you don't know it yet, is the bit that you do when you are in the water but are not standing up and riding a wave. ...

... . It started out with rain and the decision of whether to have the wedding at the beach like it was originally planned or at the Hacienda. We steam ironed dresses while they hung from ceiling fans (Don't flip the switch!!) Did hair, not mine, I kept it in ...

... exhibits. All of it was interesting, and the place is beautiful. Recommended if you have an afternoon to spare. We also went to Hacienda Carabali near Luquillo, where we rode PR's famous paso fino horses. I'm not a big horse person, but Sheila likes it, ...

... other wildlife here. We spotted some howler monkeys with their babies. They were so cute! Arial drove us to Finca San Juan an old restored hacienda dating back to the 19th century where we were going to spend the next two nights! There are two impressive ...

... horseback.  We stop once for a look at some sheep shearing - sheep shagging sadly not on the agenda. The hacienda itself is a joy.  Juan Miguel and his Swiss wife Suzanna converted the working farm to a home stay style hostel in order to bring ...

... oblivious to steep dropoffs and goats just as nonchalant about spectacularly harrowing ledges. After settling into a beautiful nineteenth-century hacienda, the four of us struck out in the darkness to find something to eat. It was pretty quiet by ...

... hotel which turned out to be a hacienda. It was used during the country´s war with Chile to quarter high ranking officers. The hacienda was gorgeous with a common room that was kept warm with a fire, tended by the staff that worked their. We talked with ...

... me explain. Apparently the Panamanian Geisha coffee is only grown by two coffee growers in the Boquete region – Hacienda La Esmerelda Farm and "Don Pachi Estate". That decidedly leaves out Hacienda Café Ruiz. Does that mean that the coffee produced ...

... town about 4 hours away by bus. Tuesday we left at 5:00AM to make our trek back to Lima. We stopped at the gorgeous Hacienda in Tarma for a delicious lunch cooked in the ground by very hot stones (called Pachamanka) and went for a short hike through ...

... He seemed genuinely confused by this turn of events. I just didn´t have the energy to enlighten him. We returned to Anibal´s hacienda and unsaddled our horses and said good-bye to them. Anibal covered them with warm blankets – another plus in his ...

... chants and hymns every day of the week. This place is definitely Nicaragua's gem. Mark, Bek and I luckily found our own Spanish hacienda that came complete with a pool and grumpy old custodian. Here, we simply chilled for a few days sipping on ...

... and the like. After the stupidity was out of our system we decided to do something cultural and check out a coffee estate named Hacienda Venecia.  The tour started early, actually earlier than we expected, so we had to tip a plate of eggs down our ...

... Mom was ready to sell her land last year, but Susie asked her no to and now we've decided to build a true colonial style mini-hacienda (not like our ranch-style one in the OC) there at some point in the future. Don't buy your planes tickets or pack you ...

... a monster truck think twice. Back to Ometepe. After riding chicken for a few hours around Ometepe we arrived at the former hacienda of the Somoza family. Google that name if you aren´t familliar with it, they are good people, if you like dictatorial ...

... into the dark but i know it's there. It's haunting and eerie, and exhilarating at the same time. 6:30pm: we arrive at Hostel Hacienda Mercida in the dark, and are welcomed by a big open porch dimly lit by candle light. People at the tables having quiet ...
