Costa Rica wrap up
Posted by: Gully
Im all alone now in Costa; Watson and uncle Frank took off this morning and Wade is doing more tours. Im headin out wednsday morning to head home. The trip started off at this 5 star hotel in the mountains called La Condesa, its an unreal place, heres where we spent hot afternoons and uneventfulevenings havin some beers. Our tour giudes were unreal; this is Paullohe's a local who was hired by Chris Winters to run the tours, this is Nene, who was hired by Paullo to drive, he's the best communist ever! no joke, this guy is the shit!!!! hahaha I don't have any shots of the first trail we rode but it was fast and smooth in this tunnel the entire time, it was rad. Second day we went to the coffee plantations in this small village right below this jungle. While i was in the shower, this Guy landed about 2 inches from my foot off the roof, it kinda woke me up from the drive. dave and I tried to feed it some chips and bugs. haha Paullo had this awesome truck to shuttle us. We headeed up this mountain while Uncle Frank was getting epic. This trail had some serious Jumangi action going on. When we were done there we headed down to the bird watching zone for the night and a ride. I didn't feel liek taking any pics of birds so i got a shot of the raddest dog ever............ RAMBO!!!!!! We did a few more little zones that had unreal riding and built a little nugget to shoot but uncle Frank has the shots there. The only things we drank on this trip were Coke and Imperial the pride of Costa Rica.
When we had finished shooting, Watson and I flew to the coast on this 12 person Go-kart and landed on this pin stripein Tambor. The road from Tambor to the coastal town was about 40 minutes.... or dirt and a river-crossing. Our hotel was right on the water, we stayed in this ballin' little hut. We got some transportation, we made sure there was room for our Imperials. We got bored of pedalling though so weupgraded and went beach cruising to look for the bst zones to surf.....i got pummled, Watsons a rad surfer though. When we got back we found buddy pal here just chillin' under our hut. He was way better then the spider, he ate the nachos we gave him and the beer we left him in a cup hahaha.
Thats wraps up my trip to about now.
Cya lata Amigos!!!!
