San Juan Del Sur: Staying on the Beach

by Roy

Days 122 & 123 – Thursday 19th & Friday 20th January 2006

The two Argies left early on Thursday morning, one to go to Bluefields on the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua and the other to meet his sister in Costa Rica, so I was left on my own. I couldn´t stay in the same hotel as it was a three-bed room and frankly it was a shithole, so I moved my things into the hostel down the road.

I had a ticket for Saturday morning to San Jose, Costa Rica leaving from a nearby town. I would have moved onto another place had there been somewhere decent to go, but as there wasn’t I decided to hang around in San Juan for the two days, chilling out on the beach, reading and catching up with the blog.

Therefore there really isn’t much to write about these two days. I mean what can I say, I was on a picture perfect beach on the pacific coast for two days with nothing to do but to do nothing. Can’t complain, won’t complain. I did manage to see the sunset which I had previouly missed! Pretty impressive stuff.

I said my farewells to Nicaragua on the Friday night by drinking some more Flor de Caña, but I didn’t overindulge as had to catch my first bus of the day at 6am the following morning.
