We said goodbye to the paradise beach and zoomed by speedboat to the peninsula surf town of Mal Pais.
Kirsty had been here before, so it was all very easy and familiar. Mal Pais Surf Camp is a very special place. It is the friendliest place we have stayed at on our travels, everyone talks to everyone. Most people are beginner surfers, so the atmosphere is really relaxed, everyone sharing their surfing attempt stories, wipeout stories, standing up without falling over stories...all good. The waves were much more beginner friendly and I feel like my surfing really progressed, hooray. It always feels like a battle of survival though, big wave coming straight at me...yikes, in the wrong place, turn round and ride it in or get mashed like in a washing machine. Good fun. After 3 days of this I felt pretty battered and bruised though and I was ready to have a break!
We had one brilliant evening where we ran up to a 5 star villa resort, they had a swim-up bar in an infinity pool, overlooking the whole coastline - amazing sunset. You barbeque your own food, then drink more cocktails in the pool.
We decided our next stop would be Nicaragua. The buses around that peninsula are really limited, so we jumped on one of the shuttles and headed for Nicaragua.
