Free Camping on Nicoya

Many beaches on the road between Samara and Malpais offer several beautiful opportunities to free camp. I stayed at Playa Coyote for several days, I met very few people and they were all nice and very friendly as all of those beaches are fairly remote and the road, during rainy season requires a high clearance vehicle due to several river crossings you won't be meeting "bad guys". They just will not go through the hassle to get there for the very low chance to find a target there anyways.

There are many beautiful spots like this one, just find yours. Should you want to have the coordinates of just exactly where I stayed, comment below with your contact information. There are no facilites or formal, organized camping so you will need to bring your own food, beer or other drinks as well as water. I saw spider monkey's, iguanas, parrots and many other birds just sitting on my camping chair on my porche.

By the way, many of the other galleries have received more pictures, so you might enjoy going back to have a look. More to come. Viel Spass!

Dead End

This is what...

...a dead end road...

...in Costa Rica might look like.

And that is where even my new Mud Terrain tires won't help. Had to turn around, found a beautiful spot to free camp, woke up with Hawler Monkeys and Parrots over me up in the trees.

But still, those dead end streets keep my heart fequency lower then...

...the dead end roads I sometimes encounterd in the USA.

New Shoes

My new shoes have proven well, here on a hike in Tenorio Parque Nacional. I must admit, after a couple of hours in those rubber things my feet look a little, well soft and pale.
