+ After a long day of buses and ferries, we arrive in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, on the Caribbean cost, to spend our last days of Costa Rica and of all Central-America. After the compulsory ´hostel seach´ carrying the heavy back packs, we find the place we are looking for: a big hostel by the beach (Rocking J´s) with plenty of travellers, good atmosphere and very alternative decoration. Short after dropping the backpacks, we looked for a pizzeria which we had seen on the way to the hostel. When we found it, it was too late for pizza but next door there was a nice place serving fish, so we stayed. And what a surprise: the owner was Hungirian, who loved to tell strories!! :)
+ When he learnt that Kinga too has Hungarian blood, everything changed; and for good: half prices, double size fishes and sangria for free. The fish was awesome! We spent the whole night with them (the family), exchanging stories accompanied with cold beer & sangria. They even brought us home with the fish track. :)
+ As mentioned, the hostel had crazy decoration, paintings, mirrors and poems on all walls and on tables they stuck everything that people forgot there, from bikinies to ID cards or travelers' checks. And, the 2 brothers who ran that place were Mexican-Hungarians from the US. They were actually building a "Noah's Ark" for when a Tsunami would hit the place... with a music studio inside... mmmhh... well... ackward...
+ Whom did we of course meet again here? Iddo, Ben and Co.!! So, playing cards and Iddo's favorite drinking game (with singing, dancing or insulting specials) became again a nightly activity.
+ The beaches around Puerto Viejo were great, wild and almost empty again. We took bikes and rode to different ones in a beautiful countryside. Of couse, as in all Costa Rica, there were many dogs on the beaches, but very friendly ones, seeking for attention, love and food. We could help out with the first two, so they liked us. :)
+ The last picture with the dudes from the Holy Land (we would not encounter them again, as they didn't head to Southamerica).
