Puerto Viejo is on the east coast of Costa Rica. It’s a serious surfing town. Unfortunately I didn’t go surfing. I couldn’t quite figure out when the waves were at there best, and there was only one spot where beginner’s were safe to try. Everytime we swam in this spot the waves would roll me around and I’d consider going to get a board, and then they’d die down and not come back. Oh well, they’ll be more opporunities, especially on Costa Rica’s west coast.
We stayed in hammocks for the first 3 nights, at a place called Rockin J’s. It was a bit of a “Spring Break” type party zone though. It was however only $5 a night for a hammock and a locker, and it was a really cool place. We had bonfires on the beach and got loaded. You could check out a guitar and bongo drums.
