Puerto Viejo

We explored more of the Carribean coast, while staying in Manzanillo... one town was called Puerto Viejo. This town felt like San Diego, Daytona, and Mexico all in one square mile. The streets were crawling with tourists, the restaurants were overpriced, and the shops were all selling t-shirts at ridiculous prices. There was one redeeming thing about this town though, they have the most spectacular home made macademia nut ice cream we have EVER eaten. It was definitely the highlight of the entire town...
There were however some pretty amazing beaches not far from there, so we took our time and explored those.
Cocles beach is known for having some of the best surfing, and even has life guards standing by to keep a watch on the crowds... unfortunately the tide and waves were a bit burely while we were there, but Andrew did make the most of the waves to do some kick ass body surfing.
Next was Punta Uva, this almost deserted beach stretched on for miles, with only a few people with dogs to interrupt the serenity. Here, I got turned upside down like the wash in the waves, and nearly lost my bikini, so I stuck to onshore entertainment for the rest of the day. :D
We also made a stop at Salsa Brava, one of the most well known spots for surfing on the entire coast... no surfers out that day, but we did kick back on the beach to read for a bit and enjoy the sunset at Standfords over a beer.
