Tamarindo (part 2) - Nov 26

Starting to warm to Costa Rica, had a decent surf yesterday at Lancosta .. however it did come at a cost, I met some people at the hostel who recommended the break and said it was a bit of a walk but not that far .. anyway I didn't wear any shoes as I thought we would be walking along the beach and I didn't want to get my sandals nicked by leaving them unaccompanied. Needless to say by the time I walked half an hour along the gravel road my feet were a bit beat up, then after an hour and a half in the surf I emerged with a huge burst blister on the base of my foot. I couldn't walk back from the beach so after some debate with the taxi driver I managed to convince him to let me put the board in the back of his cab. Lucky for me I have a good first aid kit.

Once my foot was patched up I headed out on the town with Adam (an American guy from the hostel), and two Canadian girls for drinking games and beers at "Sharkeys" a bar in town.

 Hostel I am staying it is pretty small .. only 2 dorms and 2 private rooms .. this suits me fine, as I find it much easier to get to know a small group of people, rather than a revolving door of randoms.
