Goodbye Costa Rica!

On my last day in Sámara (yesterday :-)), we rented quads and drove to different beaches on the Pacific coast. It was a lot of fun, but in the end, we were covered in dust because most of the roads were natural :-)

But what really made my time in Sámara perfect are the girls in the picture. Many thanks to Luana, Nina, Mishi & Sarina for all the drunk nights, meaningful and meaningless conversations, for your laughter and your company 💖 see you soon somewhere on this continent (luckily Sarina, I'll see you again in a week 🤗).

...but all good things come to an end! So today I traveled further to Nicaragua by bus (6 hours with 3 transfers, I still need to get used to this 😅). The immigration process was quite unique (luckily I was warned), it takes a loooot of time, you have to go through 3 different counters (first to pay some kind of tax of $8, then to exit Costa Rica and finally to enter Nicaragua for $13, and in between, you have to show your passport about 5 times), there are some strange people hanging around, and you have to wait for about half an hour to an hour at each counter in the scorching midday sun. Anyway, I'm really happy when I finally made it through immigration, but then I realized that the nice gentleman at counter number 3 forgot to stamp my passport 🙈 Starting all over again at counter number 3 - yay.

BUT - and this is the most important thing - I arrived safely at my host family in Nicaragua and tomorrow afternoon school starts. As far as I understood, I will have private lessons and hopefully I can benefit a little from my Spanish. At the moment, my head is full of Spanish grammar and I'm just waiting for the opportunity to apply it 🤓.
