Puerto Viejo (Costa Rica):
Our first stop in Costa Rica was in Puerto Viejo where surf is supposed to be good. From now some of our destinations will be based on where is the best surf specially on the Pacific coast. Lee wants to see nice waves like in the TV! So far he has not been very lucky but there are good spots all along Central America. Fingers crossed!
Well not enough because the water was damn flat and the weather was again rubbish!! So the guys, because we were traveling with Dave and Neil, played football on the beach. At the hostel, the Pagalu, we met 3 other irish guys with who the guys were playing also with local guys. As we were here during the week-end, Saturday was England-Ireland at rugby. Everybody was disappointed because no bar or hostel had the channel to see the game. So they just watched on the computer but the picture and sound were not great but enough to see Ireland winning. The Irish celebrated the victory like good Irish!!! Beers and beers...
- Puerto Viejo beach. Flat and very cloudy. No luck for us...
- Dave, on the left, Neil in the goals and Lee were playing football and here Neil just had a look to the ball which was just passing on his right. Easy goal for Dave!
- On the beach, still football with some local guys and our Irish friends,
- Lee and Steve (left) were celebrating a nice goal after lots of efforts made as the local guys had a good technique and were not easy to play...well done!!!
- Ha!!! I taught the boys how to play the French card game "belote". Since they saw the Frenchies playing at this game during the boat trip, they were curious to learn and to understand how we could have been so serious when we played with Harold, Olicvier and Julien. It was difficult for them at the beginning because there are lots of "bizarre" rules but they managed very well and we had lots of fun specially counting the points! Since, a month later, we are still playing the game and the guys are really enjoying it specially when they are cheating because they can win...
