No, those are drinks. Delicious, cheap happy hour cocktails, but still: drinks. Let's try again:
That's more like it! But who are these djungle creatures?
David. Well, I guess you know him quite well by now... This Tico was not surprisingly our travel agent, chauffeur, tour guide, interpretor, patron, benefactor, bartender, chef, and overall insider.
Amelia. David's girlfriend; an awesome chica that I'm glad I got to spend some quality girl time with during this trip.
Pedro. The iron kid. A Colombian with very strong opinions on how to eat one's patacones (fried plantains). Don't you dare dip them in guacamole!
David, Amelia, and a discrete photo bomb by Pedro.
Me and the lads.
David and Amelia had already enjoyed the tropical paradise for a week when Pedro and I left Seattle and flew off late Saturday night. We were picked up at the airport in Costa Rica the next day and the four of us set course for Tamarindo, a little town situated by the Northern Pacific coast in the province of Guanacaste, a three-hour drive from San José.
About 4.5 hours later we arrived at Playa Langosta, where David had rented a fantastic condo with a fully equipped kitchen, barbeque, patio, and pool. The place was amazing... I can't imagine the looks on our faces being anything but hilarious when we stepped out into the outdoor shower rooms, surrounded by banana plants and lush greenery. My jaw definitely dropped.
We spent four nights in this heavenly setting enjoying relaxed beach life, occasional shopping, tasty happy hour drinks, and delicious meals. All of us took surf lessons, and although the waves were of moderate quality we managed to improve our variable skills and get merely mildly beat up by our boards.
Lovely, lazy, luxurious days in the tropical heat; a promising start to this trip. Next: La Fortuna, a three-hour drive from Tamarindo. Volcano! Hot springs! Waterfall! Ziplines! German food poisoning!
Ser inte tråkigt ut! Ska bli spännande att se var det bär av härnäst. :)
ReplyDeleteAv ngn anledning funkar det inte att skriva kommentarer från telefonen så nu sätter jag mig vid datorn :P
ReplyDeleteVad underbart det verkar ha varit, hoppas verkligen du hade en toppenresa på alla sätt och har tillräckligt med energi för att ta dg igenom denna månaden, sedan kommer våren på riktigt ! :)
Saknar dig och tänker på dig, snart är du här igen !!
Tänkte vi ganska snart skulle boka ett datum för en sleepover kanske ?
Kramar !!!!
En sleepover vore verkligen finfint! Nu när jag är hemma igen och lite landad kan jag börja fundera över Sverigeresan i slutet av maj. Det är mycket som ska hinnas med, men vi får helt enkelt make it work. :) Kramelikram!
