Surf's Up Brah!
After our time spent down on the Osa Peninsula, we took an early bus to San Isidro. On the way, the bus bottomed out on the bumpy, dirt road and it took the bus attendants nearly an hour to fix it. In the meantime, we improved our Sudoku skills.
We spent that night in San Isidro, then made a looong journey from there all the way to Montezuma. We had just missed the 1030 bus to Puntarenas, so we chilled in our hammocks in Manuel Antonio until the 3pm bus. We caught the last ferry from Puntarenas at 8:30pm and then had to take a taxi to Montezuma, because the busses were no longer running. Our taxi drivers were chumps, and didn´t pick up the 3 girls from the ferry that were hitchiking, even though we had room for them in the taxi (van).
We got the only hotel room we could find with open reception, then headed to bar to see what was happening on Wednesday night. We once again saw the girls from the ferry, and apologized for our taxi drivers.
The following day, Thursday, we went to the campground I had stayed at last time, because of it's nice chill atmosphere and for the fact it was $8 cheaper than any hotel in town. After setting up hammock and tent, we dipped in the ocean then headed up to the waterfalls, running into the three girls again, and even Jeff! Small town eh. The fresh water was much more refreshing than the warm ocean, apart from it going in our noses from cliff jumping.
Thursday, we went out early, and after a pretty decent time in town, headed to bed before midnight.
We went to Santa Teresa for our Friday. Camping was $5 per night, per person, so we paid the $5 more and got a hostel room to ourselves. From there, we rented a couple of surf boards and went to the beach. After setting up our hammocks, we went 2 at a time to mess about in the waves! It was a tonne of fun, and super tiring, which is why our Friday night consisted of eating and passing out before 10. Today, Jesse and I went to beach in the morning, then caught a bus at 11:30 to Paquera (As the Chile girls were getting off from Montezuma). From there, we took a boat to Puntarenas where we will spend the night tonight. The boat we took, was just like the one to Ometepe, except it had railings, lifeboats and actually felt safe.
Puntarenas is the State capital, and kind of ghetto but it will be fine for one night. It is fairly cheap, and I bought some new sandals. My other ones broke, and they smelt awful. This is the last night me, Nate and Jesse are together, then I take off with Mom for 2 weeks, and they´ll take off with Connor.
