Day 8 - Mal Pais

I woke up and took a drive around, looking for somewhere to eat breakfast later on. I found Soda Amistad in Santa Teresa and stopped for few few cups of delicious coffee. After going back to get Kat we went back for a good and inexpensive breakfast of gallo pinto, eggs, quiso fresco, coffee, and OJ for only $9 for the two of us.

After b-fast we drove up Santa Teresa to an internet cafe (fast connection) to check email. Gilded Iguana emailed back and said they didn't have any rooms so we had to decide where to go next... We then got some beers at the supermarket and took a pathway to the beach at Santa Teresa.

Once on the beach there were a few people around - we were able to find a shady spot by a tree to park our towels. The beach wasn't as rocky as in Mal Pais and offered good swimming. We saw a guy kite surfing up and down the beach. At onepoint I was in the water swimming and he flew by and did a killer jump about 10 meters from me.

Next we went back to the hotel for a dip in the pool



Later we went to the beach to watch the sunset but there were too many clouds.

We ate dinner at La Piedras - the BBQ chicken place, We each ordered the 1/4 chicken with comes with a large salad. The chicken was sooooo tender it practically mented in our mouths. It was really good but we wish that we had ordered the 1/2 chicken as we were still a bit hungry afterwards.

We then went to the ice cream store to get a few scoops and went back to the hotel to go to bed.
