We spent our last day getting in as much as we possibly could. Within a span of 12 hours today we were in 4 of Costa Rica´s 9 provinces. We started the morning with a visit to a coffee plantation in Alajuela, then headed up to Paos Volcano. After that we checked out some great water falls, stopped at La Selva Biological Station for a quick tour and some lunch, and then took a quick trip down the Sarqapiqui River in search of crocs and toucans! (didn't see any, but lots of other cool critters and etc.) Check out some of the pics from todays whirlwind tour... We are heading back towards Canada in the am...thanks for tuning in, catch up with you all soon. Adios - D&H ... read more

After the bonk on the head I spent a few days recovering and watching the Heather show. I passed the time on the shore with all the other surf honeys - taking pictures, making hemp necklaces, and working on my tan...regular surf honey sort of stuff. After two days of chilling out, we took off to conquer the southern Nicoya Peninsula for a few days. We first made our way to Montezuma - got in some good hikes, hung out on some awesome secluded beaches, and had a great snorkelling adventure. After Montezuma we made our way to Cabuya, a small little hamlet next to the Cabo Blanco Wildlife Refuge. We got up early in the a.m. and tackled the hike into the reserve - a 12k trek by the end of the day. There was ... read more

We made it to Mal Pais on Monday night. The trip up here wasn´t too bad - we were lucky to catch a ride with some Americans after the ferry across the Gulf of Nicoya. We have gotten two good days of surf in, catching two sessions each of the past two days. Some really nice longboard waves for us to play around on. We are going to stay on here for a while and check out the peninsula, get some hikes, kayaking, and hopefully some more snorkeling in. PS (Yes, Lindsay, it´s true. I have been carrying a huge sack on my back. Ill have to post a picture to prove it. And even better, I´ve been makeupless, and hair straightenerless for the whole trip! I can hardly believe it myself ) PSS (Happy belated ... read more

Took the bus south this morning as far as Manuel Antonio, and this is as far as we are going at this point. We found a great hostel, the waves are perfect for us, and the area and people are pretty amazing. After we got into Quepos we took a bus straight to Manuel Antonio and went for a tour in the park. The park is a beautiful, steaming hot rainforest which is full of all sorts of characters: iggy the iguana, marcelle the monkey, rod the rodent, lots of russell the rustlers, and etc. We were thinking about a surf this afternoon, but got captivated by a couple sylvester the sloths hanging out on our back porch. Sloths are often tough to see, so we couldnt pass up this opportunity. Check out the pictures of ... read more

Rolled into Jaco today, nice, steaming hot beach town - made it here from the capital, San Jose this morning. Picked up our surf boards from a local board shaping shop, Carton Surf Boards. We are going to stick here for another day, get the feel for the water, then head south. We will try to send some photos along when we can. H n D... read more
