San Juan del Sur Travel Blogs

Thursday, November 06Well today was relax on the beach day which was good because yesterday I was uncharacteristically not feeling all that well and today was even worse.  The way my stomach was rumbling made downtown Baghdad look calm.  We made a big breakfast at the Villa and then Bosco…

San Juan del SurSo then, San Juan, or should we say Saint John of the Sea - quite apt. I came here to learn a bit more Spanish.  A week´s intensive course including food, lodging and a surfing lesson (that never materialised) costs $130 - this is about $100 cheaper than Costa Rica.  Plus…

Last but not least, we spent 3 days in San Juan Del Sur.  I had by far the most fun here.  The people, both local and tourists, were great, leading to wonderful conversations and new friends.  Although vacations are taken with the intent to enjoy leisure, they are rarely just that.&n…

Arriving in San Juan del Sur, I had to track down the Canadians, who had already arrived. While enjoying some food and drinks on the beach I stumbled across the girls (lucky me) and managed to score a bed in the same place they were staying with the guys.
