We may need to change the name of this blog to Gallis return from Costa Rica or Just Gallistravel maybe?
We had a great time, an experience of a lifetime in-fact over the 8 months that we lived there. We are slowly adjusting to not being there still having left over 3 weeks ago now. It's as much of a culture shock coming back to England as it was going to Costa Rica and we have been reminded of why we left England in the first place in some ways. Whilst Costa Rica is not necessarily somewhere that we are going to lay down roots right now, it has been one hell of an unforgettable and wonderful experience.
What did we love - the weather, climate in general, the slower pace, the unpretentiousness of it all, the stunning flora and fauna of the jungle surroundings, the abundance of wildlife and hands on animal care experience that we had, constantly meeting new people and being inspired by their stories and lives, the sounds of nature, the beautiful warm Caribbean ocean, and probably the hammock on the terrace in my case! It's a country of endless stunning natural beauty and we would recommend it to anyone who has an adventurous heart and a passion for nature.
We have been touring around England for over two weeks now, visiting family and friends, celebrating my 40th, and are now packing to head to warmer climes again. We were tremendously happy to find that our home has been immaculately cared for by our students tenants, so with peace of mind we can head off again. Tomorrow we are off to Turkey and are staying in my Dad's house in Kusadasi for most of the rest of the summer. Hopefully we will enjoy playing some music and perhaps practicing our TEFL teaching skills on the locals ready for our teaching jobs in Sicily in the Autumn.
Thanks to all the band who were amazing at Gen's house last night for the big FOUR OH party and all who came and braved the rain and partied with us! Renegade rocked twice during our visit, both great gigs and I am very grateful for their efforts at our birthday party, thanks guys! It's like you have never been apart!
On with the packing now and next time we blog, we will have a Turkish tale to tell!
