Last 7 days I was on an isolated beach sleeping in a hostel right next to the beach. It was called xxx. Cool place and good for learning surfing. No internet and the solar power gave just enough electricity to bring some light to the architecturally not so pretty building during the nights. I ended up spending most of my time on reading and enjoying the sea and waves.

Photos? Sorry. Surfing was best at sunrise and sundown and during the day it got incredible hot so I just stayed in the shadow trying not to get skin cancer.

I have a surprise! I have a week long plan (give or take few weeks)! One of the first ones of this trip. I’m now in Granada, Nicaragua. I’ve decided to take a boat to the island of Omitepe where there is a volcano in the middle of big lake. After that I’m taking another boat to the Caribbean coast cruising through the river San Juan at the border of Nicaragua and Costa Rica. It’s one of the only border rivers in the world that is totally owned by one country (Nicaragua). Lots of history on that river. Back in the day Henry Morgan the famous pirate did trips up to river to spread fear and terror to local communities. Also the river was suppose to be the connection between the two major oceans but eventually Panama got the fame from that thing.

The rom is kicking in and I’m tired of writing. dozen of replied emails and facebook messages is hard work. It’s time to call it a night.

I’ll promise to try to take proper photos of the river so stay tuned.

Some snapshots and and the end a bedbug photo. This time they were smaller so one bite didn’t itch that much. The problem was that there were around 200+ bites. It’s going to be one of those itchy weeks, again.
