We walked to the central markets first and we bought some fresh fruit and some hummus from stalls there. We had a look around the shops and stalls a

Cosat Rica 2013 Day 3Tortuguero Day 2After our late night of unsuccessfully looking for turtles we woke up a bit later than usual... at 730am. Today is our 39th wedding anniversary so we plan on doing and eating whatever we want to. We39d already told the lodge staff we wouldn39t be eating dinner in the lodge.

Travel day today. Up early to have a 7am breakfast for a 730am departure. Short stroll to the ferry porter took our bags for grab total of 1.50 where we eventually got on and secured an area for the four of us. Technically the ferry trip was four hours. That was fairly accurate we probably departed at around 830am and got into Lombok at 1230pm. The problem was that there seemed to be no whe

We set off early with a rough idea of how to find la loberia beach. It was a decent walk from town and we were grateful for the slight cloud cover. Along the sand path we encountered darwin finch and marine iguanas laying in the sun.

I got a 320am wake up call this morning intended for Christina who had already left the room. This woke me up with a jolt largely because I didn39t even know the room had a phone and then had to find it while still largely asleep. It also meant I had trouble falling back asleep for almost an hour which I wasn39t impressed by either but not much I could do about it. Woke up around 7am and

We woke up to our first sight of sunshine and blue skies in 5 days this morning we thought we might have slipped through some sort of interdimensial time warp worm hole. The forecast was for another storm front to arrive that night so we decided to make the most of it and go for a ride.The southern Grampians Regions beckoned. We got dressed got bikes ready Gail was at the front gate while Eoin
