Costa Rica Sun 28 Nov - Mon 6 Dec 2010

Final post for Costa Rica
This has been a quiet, relaxing 9 days, mostly spent on the beautiful beach, walking, running, reading, chatting, sleeping on a sunbed. Met and chatted with various people from different countries. Most of the tourists here are from the US. Also walked miles in the forest on cloudy days. The trees run right down to and onto the beach. We have had some cloud and rain, but plenty of sunshine too, especially the last few days. The naughty monkeys are everywhere though, as are the thieves with which Costa Rica is unfortunately infested, so you can't leave anything unattended even for a few minutes.

Found a great bar with excellent grilled chicken, then an even better place with amazing breakfast, dinner plate filled with 4 fruits and a pancake with syrup, then a second dinner plate also full with scrambled egg, the local rice mix and 2 pieces of bread, all followd by a mug of tea. Heaven.

The Manuel Antonio Hotel room is clean and comfortable, with the bonus of my friend the lizard running around the floor to keep me company. I can hear the sea at night, sometimes as backing music to the howling and shrieking of monkeys.

This has been a good holiday, 2 weeks with the group and 9 days on the beach. Thank you all for reading my blogs, it makes their production well worthwhile. Let me know if you have any feedback, comments or anything to add.

Till the next time, All the Best,
John
