STORY INTERRUPTED JOURNEY Tracy and Patrick, USA We did not know that the fatigue of our 13-kilometer hike through the national park Rincon de la Vieja Costa Rica will be very low price, we will have to pay but let's not get ahead of ourselves and tell you all about it. Thus, successfully dismantled so mess that has developed through the border crossing at Penas Blancas, we went to the coastal town of San Juan del Sur. The church of San Juan del Sur San Juan del Sur is located just 30-40 minutes from the border, but we still had to take the bus if you can call it that. Buses in Central America just drive me crazy. This old American school buses. All of them are scratches and dents, and forever packed to capacity. Seats are usually occupied, and a dozen people standing in the aisle where the rules placed a total of eight passengers. At that moment, when it begins to seem that a bus packed to the eyeballs, it is still six people, pushing down the aisle trying to sell a bottle of soda, chips, fruit and anything else in a row, including the blades, glue, and even medicine. Drivers specific patient do not differ and lead to large buses speeding, turning corners in the racing style of Michael Schumacher. I do not have enough great coaches Argentins and Chile, although the local bus to complain about, travel to them is very cheap. Madeira Beach In general, early in the morning we got to San Juan del Sur and settled in the hotel "La Casa Feliz. I do not believe that the hotel was so quiet and so cheap. We paid 15 dollars for a single room with private bathroom, although it was possible to live in a dormitory with shared bath for only $ 7. However, the peace and quiet will not last long. It was found in those days in San Juan del Sur was a competition surfers, and about six in the evening to the hotel minibus drove up to young Nicaraguans. In truth, the owner of the hotel was a great guy, just molozhtsom! He rassskazal me that he decided to help young people and put them in vain, and since we paid for accommodation, we have always had the opportunity to make music more quietly or to switch the TV on any channel of our choice. Competitions Surfing in San Juan del Sur wonderful beaches and beautiful long promenade with numerous restaurants and bars. Here was a nice, fun and easy atmosphere, that's why we came here, wanting a rest from our wanderings. We stayed there a total of three days, went to the beach and watched a surfing competition, held on the second day. Get to the beach Madera itself was an event. From our guidebook we knew that the road was unpaved, but in reality it was more like a track for racing off-road than on a normal dirt road. Throughout its length the road was pocked with potholes and puddles, and our taxi, although it has managed to overcome all obstacles, jumping from side to side, and in order to drive 6.5 miles, it took us almost 30 minutes. I was very glad when it's time to get out of the car. The beach and the competition venue looked great. In the shade of palm trees is only a few restaurants, and everything seemed almost natural. Bending the beach reminded me a lot lagoons of Bermuda. As for the competition, it participated approximately 20-30 athletes. They were mostly teenagers. Another 40 people watched this action from the shore. In March, I saw a surfing competition in Australia, in a place Snepper Rocks, and the difference in quality of skating was visible to the naked eye. It seemed that most adolescents who participated in the competitions, and only could that stand upright on the board. Every time they tried to perform a trick, they invariably found themselves in the water. In Australia, as you could see different jumps and spectacular frills. But in any case, I liked to watch the scene, as the beach is beautiful, also in Snepper Rocks is always a lot of people, and all the competition has become merely an occasion to earn as much money. Like I said, the main purpose of the trip to San Juan del Sur was a holiday. In my case this meant the show on TV at the hotel Sunday's championship match at the U.S. Cup and the finals of U.S. Open tennis. As a result, we spent only about three hours on the beach watching the surfers. It seemed to me it's more than enough. Room of the restaurant "El Colibri" Our last day in San Juan del Sur, I again spent watching television, mostly watching the finals in tennis, who moved over from the previous day and the next game on the American football championship. My friend Tracy, meanwhile returned to Madera beach, this time they went to the SUV. That same evening we went to one of the nicest restaurants that we visited recently. It was called "El Colibri". In the city that day was no light due to power failure, but we had dinner by candlelight. There's not cheap, but surprisingly tasty. Read more:
