Costa Rica 2011


May 4,  Flamingo Beach, Costa Rica
Walked to Brazilito Beach today.  Only took about 40 minutes!  Nice beach, very quiet.  Black sand again.  Nice coast as there is a small island just off the beach.  Some people swam over to it!
I stuck to the beach!


May 3,  Flamingo Beach, Costa Rica
Walked 4 km into town along the beach.  Interesting as it is just next to Flamingo, separated by a rocky point but the other beach is more volcanic sand.  Fairly black, but very hot to walk on.
Had lunch at little place and walked back.

Then to beach and finish with swim in pool.

May 2,  Flamingo Beach, Costa Rica
Went diving at 7.30 to 11.30 today.  This is the first time since I received my certification.
Very nice as  went for 2 dives of 45 minutes each.  Went to Sombrero island (larger type island not far from Flamingo Beach)and the point off Flamingo beach.  Not much for coral in the area but there were lots of fish.  Many eels, and was even shown my first 'sea slug'.  Very small!
Instructor spotted a white sea horse.  The first one she has seen in 2 years!
There is some coral starting at the second dive sight, so after a few years it will be very nice!
Beach in afternoon with more sting rays and was able to do more body surfing.
Walked the beach again.  Only about 2 km long, but with nice sand!
May 1,  Flamingo Beach, Costa Rica
lazy start and then one very expensive breakfast!  This is a resort!  Damn it was 3 days meals in some other countries, and then some!
Not much today, just off to beach.  Very hot here but nice at beach as there were sting rays swimming along shore line and even jumping out of the water.

April 30,  Flamingo Beach, Costa Rica
Up for 8 am transfer, which means a van comes to hotel picks you up and delivers you to new place.  Could be ore people, but this time, just the 2 of us.  
Arrived at  11 am and even got checked in.  Lunch and then to beach in afternoon, just lazed around.
