Aamulla herätyskellon soitua ennen kuutta Puntarenaksessa, pakattiin kamat ja kiiruhdettiin seitsemältä lähtevään bussiin. Tällä bussilla matkattiin Liberia nimiseen kaupunkiin reilun kolmen tunnin päähän, josta lähtisi seuraava bussi Costa Rican ja Nicaraguan rajalle. Odotellessamme toisen bussin lähtöä Liberiassa, Tomin brasiliasläbärit hajosivat…ja ei muuta kuin uudet hankintaan. Koska meillä ei ollut yhtään Nicaraguan rahaa, eikä tiedetty kursseja Tomi laittoi haisevat vanhat reissusandaalit jalkaan ja lähti kaupunkiin etsimään nettiä. Kun Tomi palasi kaupungilta, ensimmäinen jatkobussi oli tupaten täynnä jengiä, joten ajateltiin mennä seuraavalla. Ehdittäisiin syödä aamupalakin siinä välissä. Meidän tietojen mukaan seuraavan piti lähteä tunnin kuluttua, mutta se lähtikin kahden tunnin kuluttua. Koska parin tunnin odottelu bussiasemalla ei innostanut, otettiin taksi/kolektiivi rajall... read more

Hello Everyone, We are in San Juan del Sur right now which is a small beach town on the pacific coast of Nicaragua. We are having a great time and were supposed to leave today but decided to stay because we can´t bring ourselves to leave. Hopefully we will be able to move on tomorrow because we are running out of time and want to see as much as we can. Lucas and our friend Scott have been surfing everyday on a local beach called Maderas while Lindsay sits on the beach and counts the grains of sand. The beach is extremely beautiful and it is very isolated and hard to get to. We have to ride for about 45mins in a truck bed that is jam packed with other people. Every now and then the ... read more

Okay, Okay...so we're a little slow in getting this blog out. The sun tends to slow productivity...examples of this are found around the globe. Due to our pressing time schedule to see some of our crew for New Years...we took the express route by bus through both El Salvador and Honduras. We stayed two nights in San Salvador and we were surprised with the sophistication and modern buildings that dot the skyline. We stayed in a great botique hotel to treat ourselves and split up the 20 hours of bus riding that abused our booties. We kept reminding ourselves of the upcoming beaches that awaited us. Our arrival into Nicaragua and finally San Juan Del Sur was just what we needed and luck was on our side in finding a great little hotel complete with A/C..yes ... read more

I´m never going home. Okay I AM going home, but only to make more money so I can fly back down here. To the Three Amigos reading this from Sterling Heights (really only one amigo because the other two are completely computer illiterate) I´d recommend San Juan Del Sur over Playa Samara any day! Fly into Managua, take a taxi to San Juan Del Sur (or rent a car...the roads are much better than between Tamarindo and Samara) and you can sit on the beach drinking beer and watching the sunset every night. This is paradise. The only thing we´re lacking here are the howler monkeys... and I´m sure they´re here, I just haven´t seen them yet. Tomorrow is the beach...and hopefully the start of a terrific tan. Buenas noches mis amigos. Puedele encuentra su propio ... read more
