Pura Vida
Hello! Yesterday was our half way mark! very excited about it all, to celebrate the momentous occassion Ben has given me my first proper bodyboarding lesson which was really fun once I got over the salt water in my eyes thing. We are currently in Tamarindo in the north of Costa Rica, after San Jose we went to Santa Teresa but to be honest it wasn’t my cup of tea so after 2 nights we decided to head off early and we definitely made the right decision. Tamarindo is becoming quite the tourist trap with posh hotels and expensive restaurants but its not quite there yet with building going on all the time. But you can understand why, there is good surf off the reef, a beautiful long beach with surf suitable for the beginners, and some nice still reasonably priced restaurants around to celebrate in! The heat is very strong during the day, we are down to 2 meals a day with just lots of water to keep us going. Tomorrow we are going to head to a place called Liberia to find a bus to go into Nicaragua going from the border to a place called Popoyo which has good surf and a hostel with a swimming pool and Air Con!!! Am very excited about sleeping in the cool. Hope everyone at home is well and enjoying things as much as we are. Love Charlie xxx
