and before on magic's advise there was tranquillo backpackers....
didn't really meet anybody...apart from good time with ordetta the hairdresser from canada and her peruvian russian friend.....bu it was enough to let it lie and acknowledge the connection but too strange
to meet and greet and straight onto the bus to punte arenas
across the next day to montezma.....sun and sand and lovely coffee shops...
chilled and took a tour to an island to snorkel....which took care of xmas day nicely
then next day on a quod bike to mal pais and half a day surfing or was it santa theresa
then onto the boat to jaco to get wet and turn round before halfway and return to a checked out hotel for a shower and a breakfast we never expected.......always another way....this time straight to manual antonio
there are no places to stay...except we found one..
and saw monkeys and walked up hills dow to bays and swam and took photos and talked about what was, what is and what could or would be!!
and the year came full circle
and i envied the peace and strength of purpose and the future planning of nige and measuring my progress against his progress was not fun so i stopped....one day at a time.
then there was a river and a raft of possibilities and us paddling it...and the eddy back up was great
new years eve was spent in mad dominical in a shitty surfers shack.....and of course in bed asleep...the bus ride down was great though
a couple os surfing sessions saw nige remeber how to and me stand up for the first times....will need to spend some time doing this...off season...but time is somethin i have.
back up to quepos to play pool and meet another opportunity....
then on to jaco where i can't remember doing anything...then to san jose and a last night in strange bars and love hotels
that will be that then with me back at tranquillo backpackers
