I feel sad that my adventures have come to an end, but of course it is good to be home. The last week or so of my trip was very relaxing. The last stop of the tour was Cahuita on the Caribbean coast in Costa Rica. We were there for 2 nights and spent time relaxing on the tropical black sand beach or lounging by the pool. Instead of going back up to San Jose and having to spend three nights there (it's a bit of a hole!) we decided to head half an hour down the co...

Hey, making the most of the last week or so now! Manuel Antonio Such a chilled out beach town lined by palm trees and pavement stalls selling crafts. We went to the beach on when we arrived but it began to rain so went back to the pool at the hotel and generally just chilled out after our very bumpy ride from Monteverde, Santa Elena. We visited the national park on day 2 and went for a muddy walk in flip flops!! to get to the secluded beach. We lay there for ...

Hola! What a crazy day i've just had. Been on the go since 6am doing ACTIVities!

We got back to town at about ...

Pura Vida! Ometepe Island - Nicaragua The island was beautiful. The afternoon we got there i relaxed in the hammock outside my room and ended up falling asleep.

We were staying out of reach of facilities but restaurant and everything was where we stayed. We were right on the edge of the lake and there was a beach but it was black sand. Again, i ...

Roatan Island Ahhh true paradise with a very slow Carribbean feel. We were up at 5am in Tela to get a local bus to La Ceiba to get the ferry to Roatan. We arrived on the island late morning and our accomodation was beautiful cabins behind the pool which was right next to the sea. I spent the first day by the pool and stayed there to watch the sunset. In the evening went to a bar for pre dinner drinkies and then to a sea food restaurant. On day 2 we all went ...
