new continent and i am shattered

Monday, May 22nd, 2006

well i was out on satuday night well not really out but i didn´t get any sleep and i am suffering now, sleeping yesterday and well i will be having an early night tonight, and i am in quito ecuador, and i need to work out what i want todo and where i want togo, the hostel i am staying at seems really nice and they do an all you can eat breakfast :-)

the major thing i want todo is see some jungle and hopefully make it to the coast for a couple of days before heading to peru, as i have to be in cusco on or before the 13th of june so that i can aclimitize to the altitude.

its only about 2 months togo now as well which is guna be really weird as i will be home soon enough , then to do a little work before jetting off again ;-)

as for Jaco it was really good and it didn´t seem like i was there for 3 weeks although i was doing nothing but sleeping eating and surfing pretty much well throw in 2 hours of work aday at the internet cafe and that was my life, i do need to get a rocket up my arse for this bit of the trip as if i want to see as much of what is on my list as possible i need to start doing things soon.

costa rica coming to an end

Saturday, May 20th, 2006

What have i done and what have i seen in costa rica, well acutally not much of anything, i have surfed, slept, ate and thats about it really, i haven’t seen any of the diverse wildlife or seen any other towns in the country other than jaco and san jose. now some people will ask if i have been bored or anything and the answer is absolutly no i have done exactly what i have wanted to do :-)

today could have been my last surf but i am going to try and go out tomorrow morning as my bus is at midday. its been good and although my sufing still isnt great its been sooooo good being in the water again after such a long time out of the water, i have been through a stage of not catching much of anything this week but i think that has been down to my wisdom teeth and the pain making my mind be not totally with it, but this morning i got hammered and it was good but by the end of the session i had caught a few waves :-) and the first one i caught at the start of the session i got to my feet in a crouching position and banged them hard as i came down the face of the wave but although my knees felt bad after that they are fine now.

well its ecuador on monday and a whole new time :-)

now i am trying to work out what i am going to by myself for my birthday maybe a new shorter board :-)

Jaco and surfing

Thursday, May 11th, 2006

well i have been in jaco for a week now and i’m surfing about everyday and although i was feeling really tired i managed to have a wonderful nights sleep last night and i’m looking forward to a new day with hopfully the joy of catching some waves, as the last two days my mind hasn’t really been in it and with the new shorter board i’ve been getting frtustrated in the water which means i’ve not managed anything that i have wanted to and the board wont play in the white water.

How long am i guna stay here i really don’t know as i should see other parts of costa rica but i just want to surf for an hour or two every day, so knowning me i wont bother moving until i have to catch my flight to ecuador.

In other news been invited to a wedding but unfortunatly i won’t make it to john and bev’s wedding :-( maybe i’ll just have to have a drink with them when i get back to celebrate the day and watch the video, yeah wedding video’s the only one i have seen that has been any good was ravi’s one as it was done in a retro indian stylee although i bet that was all the rage when it was made :-)
