This might very well be our very last post in Central America :( We are back in Costa Rica, on a very mellow and beautiful beach town called Nosara. We had heard that it?s the perfect place to learn to surf and it?s going well so far!
We made an unprecedented one-day, 14 hour trip from Ometepe Island on Lake Nicaragua. It started with a 2 hour bus ride at 3:45am, an hour boat ride, a 45 minute ride to the border, a 1.5 hour wait through the most inefficient immigration line to enter Costa Rica, an hour bus ride to Liberia, another 2 hour bus ride to Nicoya and finally a 1.5 hour bumpy ride to Nosara!! whew, what a day!
Ometepe Island was beautiful! It consists of two volcanos on a sort of hour glass shape island. Looks like a pair of boobs, except the volcanos arent the same height, hee hee. We stayed at a hostel on the water. Did a muddy hike up on of the volcanos with a cloudforest type vegetation on the top (it?s almost always covered on clouds). Another day we hiked to a 50m waterfall. We would have stayed longer to do some kayaking but the waves were calling...
Won?t be in much contact probably till next weekend when we are back in San Francisco since, unfortunately, internet and other things are quite expensive out here, especially since we just came back from Nicaragua where it cost us about $25 a day!
So that?s about it, we will be spending the next 4 or 5 days surfing and hopefully the last few days building houses for Habitat for Humanity. Will see some of you soon in San Francisco and Vancouver!
