Mi cumpleaños!!

Had an absolutely gorgeous day for me burfday (David, my bro, thank you so much for bootiful card!)...we´ve been in Nicaragua since Sunday, spent a couple of days in Granada, which is really nice. I much preferred it to Antigua. Did a really cool volcano hike, got to look in a crater and see magma sloshing around 2000m below. Met up with a lahvley Irish couple who are doing pretty similar trip but have just spent 6 months in South America including Christmas in Antarctic which just sounded mind-blowing.



Chicken bussed it down to San Juan del Sur, surf town on the Pacific coast the morning of my bday. Poor Dave under mad pressure to sort out the day and a pressie, considering we´re in each others company most of the time, no easy feat! He pulled it off of course and was treated like a princess! Thanks to Maura P we had a completely posh, splash-out meal in amazing restaurant looking down over the bay, my first bottle of wine in 2 months and it took 2 waiters 10 minutes to open the bottle...they don´t drink much of it around here!!

Anyway...that´s me for the mo...moving to surf beach today which is completely isolated save 45 minute dirt track...will be lots of surfing, hammock swinging and dreaming of dreams, how bad!

Muchas gracias for all the birthday wishes (including all the late ones!!)
