Canopying in Monteverde...

After been sweating on the beach, gazing at sexy surfers, and swollowed plenty of salt water in Santa Tereza and Montezuma, I have now made my way to the cool mountains in Monteverde. It took one whole day to get here in one hot bus, and then I mean drip sweating hot bus. Wow! Never been in such a hot bus in my whole life! But I guess it had to be the first time some time right :)

I enjoyed a very good sleep last night in Pension Santa Elena http://www.pensionsantaelena.com and now feel fresh and clear headed, my brain seems to be working again as I thought I might have sweated out all my brain cells. I tell you when it is HOT, your brain dies slowly. You feel like doing NOTHING and then I mean nothing. Just thinking about walking 300m to the store is exhuasting so you end up not going at all because you are already tired by just thinking about it. Hence, I stayed in the hammock for quite some days and hopefully lost some weight as well.

But now with this cool breeze flying through my hair and armpits, I feel like I can actually accomplish something. So guess what, this morning I booked a trip with EXTREMO to go canopying, zip-lining, rappelling and in general just fly like superman in the jungle (they actually have a zip line called Superman) and swing like Tarzan from the bamboo trees...can I possibly swing like Jane instead? I will have to ask...

I hope for some safe swinging and gliding and will hola back at you soon!

Santa Teresa, Costa Rica

I have made it to the Pasific coast of Costa Rica! AT the moment I am in the surfer town of Santa Teresa on the west coast of Cost Rica. This is really a beautiful spot with beautiful people everywhere! Wow, everyone just look great! This is a place where you take picture perfect post cards.

Im staying at a new hostel called Seven7 run by two sweet Israelis. Im really liking this place as it is basically one big house and only about 10 people stayiing here..so we are one big happy family :) One big reason why I like Santa Teresa so much is that I found a place to finally do some yoga. It had been 2 months since my last yoga class in Guatemala! Way too long. So now I have been taking yoga in the mornings and just relaxing the rest of the day. It is definitely time to do some detoxing and eat some healthy food. I love to be able to cook my own food in our big kitchen.

Now it is time to go to the beach and hit the waves..and then I mean waves..this is truly a paradise for any surfer out there..so many beautiful and biiiig waves. Im not surfing though..taking more easy with the boogy board, but hey it is still difficult to catch the wave!

Tomorrow, we plan go fishing and hopefully catch some bigass fish! And then I mean biiiiig fish.... no little snipers and shrimps. Hopefully we will spot whales and dolphines as well.

Tday is also a special day, it is my grandmother´s birthday! So HAPPY BIRTHDAY...GRATTIS PA FODELSEDAGEN MOMMO! 77 and going strong! :) xoxo

San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua




Everybody dance now! Ta ta tata ta....

Once upon a time, five backpackers met on the island Utila in Honduras and made a pack that on the 26th February they would all be down in Nicaragua celebrating their lovely German friend´s 34th birthday. And for sure they all made plus brought more friends with them. There was a lot of cake, even more Flor de Cana rom, and most of all great music blasting all night at The Pier.

What can I say... never danced so much in a looooong time! and where else to party and dance than on the beach in Central America. I had so much fun with the most kind and best spirited people ever. That wasone good party. Awesome! (as some Americans would say ;)  Gonna miss u guys!

Tomorrow is a new day and a new chapter begins... I will say bye bye to Nicaragua and HERE I COME Costa Rica!

iiiihhhaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
