Oh it's been a fun packed week already, starting with Saturday - trip to the refuge/zoo in Carillo, saw the loveliest raccoon and anteater and mini leopard species. They are all there for a good reason, to be rehabilitated for their return to the wild.
On Sunday we had a music jam with a Costa rican drummer in his family home, and some cocktails after in a beach bar. On Monday we walked a long way, crossed a river by foot, and found a deserted beach. Today, we nearly went kayaking, but the waves to high, so we opted for boogie boarding instead but the waves were too high!! Getting the idea of the waves here?? We lasted 3 mins each and then gracefully gave the boards back to the hire shop, and sat and watched the local guys doing the full standing surfing with ease. Okay so we need a bit of time and practice! Tomorrow we have decided to hire bikes and explore. I haven't not had a bike to ride since I was 4 years old, it's killing me as everyone has bikes here. Ours are in storage at home! Then if we are not too exhausted, by Friday, we will opt for 4 wheels and head a bit further out, and try not to get lost or lose a wheel in the pot holed roads. The roads are made up largely of holes and the occasional patch of tarmac so you have to drive slow, but no one is in a hurry here so that's fine. Right, on with the vodka cocktails before we stretch our legs to our favourite eaterie. It's full of colourful Tico characters who all seem to have a story to tell, and think Rene is a Tico as he is the same colour as them now! My Spanish is coming on, I can ask for the bill and the toilets and buy beer, what more do I need? Bye for now homies xx
