Jaco.

Writing this on the 15^th going from dominical to puerta viejo. - im a little behind.

After leaving our sweet penthouse where we stayed for 2 nights at the witches rock surf camp (kitchen, roof terraace huge space etc) – there was not much surf in tamarindo this time so the other guys were eager to head south.Had an ok longboard session in playa grande but that was it Dominical or manuel san antonio via jaco were our targets and from there wherever. Still no witches rock/ollies point though.

I made the drive to Jaco it was easy, by the time we were there Sweden and Canada were properly amping for a party. I wasnt too fussed. Just wanted a good place to stay. The signs were there early on in Jaco. Sweden asked a group of girls for a good place to stay. Some american guy was laughing at us, and came over with his family and said the girls were hookers. OK no probs, he called up a friend of his and hooked up a nice place down the road in hermosa for us – a much nicer surf town.

So we settle at cabinas las olas in hermosa – had some wicked tuna – biggest ive ever seen seared in sesame seeds with wasaba mash it was amazing. Too late for a surf we hit the beers and eventually rum – no sorry the $30 bottle of jaegermeister I bought froom the local liqour store – mixed with Max energie – the Costa Rican Red Bull. The room was a bit rough to be honest.

Met a Brazillian guy who we called by his surname – Costa.Cant rememebr his first name. Head back into Jaco and look for some fun. Now we we were reccomended the Beetle Bar by some dude back in Jaco – but nobody knew what to expect. Within 2 minutes it became very clear this place was a knocking shop!! I mean there were about 200 extremely hot girls int his place – and they were all without exception hookers. Kinda fucked up, we stayed in there for half an hour had a laugh, then got the hell out.

Messed around in a couple of bars, sampled some local produce, hang out with some nice Canadian girls and then went to a new bar called the loft with them. Music was good, vibe was nice. Costa turned into a bit of a weirdo so we changed our minds and didnt invite him to join us on our road trip. I bailed at about 3 or 4 am jumped in a cab back to hermosa with a reggae cab driver. Chilled on the beach for a hour with another random dog and fell asleep only to be awoken at 7am by the ryan and phillip. The former was a bit pissed off about trying to seduce a girl for 3 hours who funnily enough was a hooker. LOL

So that was Jaco – pretty dirty seedy, vice filled. I understand what everyone means now. Id not go back. Hermosa was cool but had too many American for its own good.I woke up really early before the hangover hada chance to manifest – drank coffee and watched Spurs lose rather unconvincingly in the last minutes to Wigan. Seriously wev e4 got to sort this shit out.

Spent the morning ducking Costa – packed our stuff up and hit the road. Decided to go to dominical.

A couple of hundred KM later and we were in the vicinity, could find the damn town though.My knee was starting to play up again – just sore. Gotta sort the damn thing out.But after the usual darting around we found a good place to stay. Got harassed by some old Amerian guy 3 times in 20 minutes trying to get us to go see his wifes band play. He was called good time charlie apparently. anyways we were all dead, out cold fully dressed by 6pm slept 14 hours!
