Samara Beach

We've had a few days kicking back on Samara Beach now and its been great. People think that I'm a local now because my skin is basically tanned black. Ummm, I don't have any photos of my new tan so I guess you'll just have to believe that it's possible. :)
The basic plan for what happens most days here is as follows:
8am - get up, walk down the road for a breakfast of pancakes and coffee.
9am - put the boardies on, kick back on the beach with a book or mp3 player, have a swim, go for a walk.
11am - morning tea is usually a banana milkshake.
11.30am - more kicking back on the beach with book or mp3 player.
1pm - lunch.
2pm - afternoon nap (tired from the mornings exertions).
3.30pm - afternoon swim, walk, read more book.
5pm - beer o'clock.
6.30pm - dinner
7.30pm - write in diary, read more, relax, listen to music.
10pm at the very latest - asleep.

We leave tomorrow at 2.30pm and that's a good thing because if we keep this up for much longer we're likely to get harpooned next time we go swimming! :) We are off to Monteverde next which is a rainforest area so we can do some hiking and hopefully see a toucan and maybe a sloth or something. We've just found a great place in Honduras too where we are going to both book in for 2 weeks of living with local families in a town called Copan. You get one-on-one spanish tuition, you live with a family who feed you and you eat lots of empanadas. Sounds great! Gotta book that in soon.

Whoa! We went to all those places. Monteverde was the fun cloud forest place, with the 4 wheel motorbike rides and the slingshot forest tours. You've got to do the flying fox thing, it's super rad.

Copas was cool too, as was Tical, but neither was as fun as Monteverde. La Fortuna was pretty cool too, in that Volcanic, hot springs kinda way. Rafting in a volcanically heated river was way fun.

Sorry that I didn't reply to your e-mail, but now that I'm at Post, I don't have access to anything. I guess I could check my e-mails at home, but that seems like a waste of good slouchin' time. I don't even know if Dave beat my superteam - I'm guessing so since I haven't been sent any beer bottles filled with many, many tears.
