Dominical, Costa Rica






















Dominical is a chilled out little community on the Pacific coast, it's palm perfect beach and fab surf meant we ended up staying put for a few nights. Still suffering from his broken ribs, Pete topped up a fab tan with a book on the beach. It was crazy hot though, about 38 degrees, so thank goodness for the palm trees!

And I hit the surf, picked up some more tips and finally got confident enough to paddle out with the big kids which was exciting. The sea was soupy hot. My highlight though was having a pod of 4 dolphins swim by, pointed out by a 12 year-old local kid Oscar, who said 'people pay to go on trips to see them and sometimes don't see any, if you're a surfer you can see them for free'. Sweet!

On our last evening, we collected drift wood and Pete made a gorgeous camp fire, over which we roasted BBQ chicken on bamboo sticks stuck in the sand. It was pretty special to sit under a mango tree and have a beach feast.
