Ready for home…

Snorkelling with hump backs!
Inspired by our very active friends (we’d been lazing by the pool all days) – we booked a snorkelling trip ten minutes off the beach from the resort. It was incredible!!!
On the way out we saw sea turtles, as we snorkelled amongst the schools of fishies – our guide showed us sea stars and a puffer fish. To make an fantastic snorkel even more amazing – a mother and baby humpback whale swam past us just 20 feet away. It was amazing!!!
Thanks Liz for convincing us to come!!! (if it had of been up to us – we’d have stayed lazing by the pool!)
Playa Matapolo
Over and out….there is nothing but chillaxing going on for the next week…
SJdS – Goodbye Nica
Goodbye Nicaragua (and our beautiful Ecolodge)
after a swim in the pool we made good use of our last hours down at the beach – which we had to ourselves (and briefly two others at one point)
…for our trip over the border to Costa Rica…
to meet up with the dads – we’re all ready for a week of R+R!!!
SJdS – a touch of Paradise
For our last night in San Juan del Sur (and in fact Nicaragua) – we splurged and booked ourselves into a luxurious ecolodge. It was amazing!
After our Spanish class in the morning, we headed out to the resort for a luxurious & relaxing afternoon / evening 🙂
back at our villa
and their own farm-to-table meals…
it was pretty magical 🙂
SJdS – a cute little town
Turbot can do anything
Nathan’s company had their first annual offsite this week. As a thank you they sent flowers to the partners of the Turbot team. I feel sorry for poor Elliott who had to track down a florist that could deliver to San Juan del Sur in the south of Nicaragua. However it does prove that Turbot can do anything!
SJdS – the towering Christ Statue
We’d been looking at this for days
 …so it was time! 
This afternoon we walked up to the Christ Statue that towers above the main beach with it’s beautiful views over the town 🙂
SJdS – the beach
three small blocks walk from our house….
was the beach – this is where we spent most sunsets as there is a strip of yummy restaurants along the beach 🙂
