Been a bit slack on the blog of late, too much beach air has brought out the lazy surfing monster in me. Life has pretty much been taken up by surfing, sitting in the sun and having random people saying random things to me. Drug pushing cabbies (yep ill get in a car with you after you've offered me more drugs than a heavy night with Hendrix), Rastafarian magicians wanting to teach card tricks and guy offering to buy the shorts I was wearing given instant delivery to which i add i was walking back from a surf and not wearing much else.....ppl of Peurto Veijo beware, this man is on the loose! Also had a sing along with a hostel owner who managed to break the 6 stringer out within 10 minute sof arrival for some tunes. Not an uncomfortable stay at all having to dodge this maniac on and his 'axe' wielding antics!

Managed to visit quite a few different parks in Costa Rica. 7 differing micro climates (savanahs, alpine forest, cloud forest, mangroves and lowlying wetlands, reef and 2 more i cant remember) results in seeing all sorts of insects, spiders, reptiles and mammals. The faves have been the toucan, crocodiles (as ugly as ever), white faced monkeys who do throw/drop faeces so dont get too close and the family of racoons we bumped into randomly.

No other major news. A howling offshore wind combined with tomfoolery resulted in a minor head wound from ones own surfboard yday.....judges only scored the resultant backflip 4/10 as there was alot of splast and legs werent straight.

Nicaragua beccons onces this swell abates....well maybe. If I dont appear back in oz 2/3 im still living here. Mum/Dad send money and food, im not leaving!
