Paradise Lost

The sun is shining on beautiful palm fringed beaches here in Montezuma. Its gorgeous. Unfortunately I managed to get robbed last night. First my travelling mate, Rich, had his backpack stolen with my camera still in it from our hike yesterday. Then I realised my boardshorts were gone from the drying line. Sucks. I am now travelling even lighter!

Its such a pity to leave this place with a bad taste in the mouth. The town is tiny and is perched on the southern end of the Nicoya peninsula. The beaches are white sand and there are hammocks between the palm trees. I took my refurbished (slightly shorter) flyrod out yesterday and caught tons of the smallest fish I´ve ever caught.

Rich and I met a couple of Canadian girls a few days back and they joined us over here. We took a hike up to an amazing series of waterfalls up in the hills. The adrelanin from the cliff jumping kept me going for hours!

Rich has now deserted me for Nosara and left me at the mercy of the harmonica playing hippies that dominate this town. I´ll head back to San Jose tomorrow to replace my camera before heading across to the Caribbean coast for a bit of reggae and english speakers.

Sorry about the lack of pictures...

Update

Aah! Thanks Lauren. A month late but here are some pics:
