And finally: The Beach!

After thousands of kilometers, many speed bumps, and only a few cases of la turista, we have finally arrived at our destination: The Beach. 3 days hanging around in hammocks, on sandy beaches and pleasantly warm ocean water. We picked the Playa Potrero, Playa Penca, Playa Azucra in Costa Rica, just North of Tamarindo. These beaches are at the borderline of major developments, good for swimming, not surfing. The coast line here is up for sale, everybody is hoping for the big investors and spenders to move in, yet the roads are still rough and dirty, empty lots are next to brand new condos. Cows and horses still make their daily trips on the beach to watering holes. Some communities have banned Quad-wheels, some resorts don't have waste water treatment. Food is bought in mom and pa shops. The good old Gold coast is still there, but changes are imminent. If you want to see parts of this unspoiled coast line, hurry!
It took us 3 months to get here and in a few days a jet will whisk us away back to law and order, steel and glass, schedules and deadlines, bread and potatoes.
