Buzz the spider monkey has got off her leash and is swinging across the rafters above the bar area in the hostel. It took about 30 minutes and a lot of biscuits to get her back to her spot next to the pool.

| Buzz the mischievous spider monkey |
The past few days I have been staying in Fred and Carla`s hostel in San Juan Del Sur .. it is up on the hill about 5 min out of town. It has an amazing view looking down out to the sea. Fred grew up in Rochy, so knows my Dad .. has been fun talking to him about the home town.
My days here have pretty much revolved around surfing once a day (either Maderas or Hermosa), and chilling out. They have meals cooked family style .. where everyone eats together in the night. Then the bar goes til 11pm. Meals are tasty but quantities vary alot .. first night of pizza left me wanting.
My first day surfing here I was very unimpressed .. the waves were just closing out, and it was pretty crowded .. was feeling a bit dispondent to be honest, but I thought I would give it one more go (largely cause the hostel is so nice and I couldnt be bothered moving on so shortly).
Since then the waves have gotten better .. nothing amazing, but the wind is always offshore and I am managing a few good waves each day.
Inbetween surfing I have been doing the odd bit of yoga, and studying spanish on the Kindle. In the evenings we drink beers, play cards, jenga .. also watched "Get him to the Greek", a surprisingly hillarious film.
