Playa Biesanz

Pacific Coast

After I had left the Lazy Loft and Puerto Viejo behind me, I reunited with Aina at the Pacific Coast in Manuel Antonio. The Pacific Coast is very different from the Caribbean Coast, especially this part. The beaches are incredible and the best thing is that the landscape is dominated by hills which offer the most stunning views over the whole beachside of Manuel Antonio. Manuel Antonio is a small town which has no real center but has very distributed places and is obviously a touristic town. The hostel we stood in was one of the last buildings at the end of the town. For the price it was ok but nevertheless, I missed our good old Lazy Loft. The weather was so much better than at the Caribbean side - though the sun is very hot here!! The first beach we visited is a small and more hidden beach called Playa Biesanz. It was nice to stay there for a few hours. Then we wanted to go up the hill because some people told us we could see everything from above. The only thing they didn’t tell us, were that this place is not a public place but a Hotel of the Spanish hotel chain Parador. Because we really were looking forward to see the view point Aina invented the story about her parents are going to visit Costa Rica and we would like to inform us about the prices of the rooms. We became a private guided tour and some free drinks. The Parador is like a resort. They have tennis, miniature golf, a swimming pool with an incredible view and so on..I think we should visit some more hotels and invent some other stories..In the afternoon Patrick and Luca arrived in Manuel Antonio. It was nice to meet them again! Together we went to get some dinner in the restaurant "El avian" with the best view of the sunset. After dinner we went to a bar and played some pool.

It was a first nice day in Manuel Antonio - in another town than Puerto Viejo - reunited with Aina and the Swiss guys - the best weather - sunset - ...Les mer
