Easter Holidays

I´ve just returned from an amazing trip to Costa Rica and Nicaragua that was full of exciting adventures including me driving "The Beast" and the surfing the waves in Tamarindo, the gringo hang out in Costa Rica. Take a look at the pictures below to see me swinging from zip lines and gripping onto a horse´s reins for dear life.

Horse riding in the Miraflor Reserve

We horse rode for six hours! The grey plant that hangs from the trees in called Barba de Vieja and it is used to make the houses of the local people.

Road Signs

These road signs depict the wildlife in Costa Rica; There is even one of an Armadillo but unfortunateñy we couldn´t get a photo of it. But we did get a "rude" road sign. Can you stop it?!

The road we had to drive down to get to Witches Rock!! It took an hour and a half to drive the 13 kilometre stretch of road. Posted by Picasa

The wildlife on our trip


These crocodiles lurked in a river that flowed into the sea we were surfing in; Apparently, they even swim out to sea. The park rangers said they weren´t dangerous, but what do you think?
