Our first day in Salvador!
17 novembre 2023, El Salvador ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
A year after saying to Charlotte, while we were freezing our butts off surfing in the Pacific Ocean in San Francisco, that next year we would surf and the water would be warm, here we are at Eldorado Surf Resort in Salvador!
We arrived in El Zonte this afternoon.
Our first impressions: it’s defo a surfer’s paradise!
The waves are huge!
The crowd is young!
Our first smoothie at the resort did not disappoint either!
We were lucky to be greeted by an amazing sunset!
We had salmon tartar on avocado salad for dinner. Delicious!Leggi altro

Exploring El Zonte!
18 novembre 2023, El Salvador ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
After a restful night, we had another delicious smoothie and a bowl of tropical fruits before setting off to explore the village of El Zonte!
Colorful and filled with little shops and restaurants, it made for a nice morning walk. We also walked along the shoreline to explore potential photo opps! You must know us girls by now!!!
Lunch was a delicious tuna salad and tuna wrap at the resort.
The wind and current were still too strong to get out there on the surfboards this afternoon but Raul and Will are expecting us tomorrow morning as the sea will finally calm down.
We spent the afternoon between the pool, our sunbeds and going for walks on the beach! We indulged in another smoothie! Life is beautiful!
Fun fact: there was a power outage that lasted all afternoon and well after sunset (which was another gorgeous one!).
For dinner we walked back to El Zonte to enjoy a shrimp cocktail and avocado salad (I know! We are obsessed!) at Escencia Nativa!Leggi altro

Surfing, turtles and caves!
19 novembre 2023, El Salvador ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
What a day filled with emotions!
We finally got to go surfing!
Both of us managed to stand on our boards many times!
Such an exhausting sport though!!
After a rest in the sun we set out to walk on the beach and go explore the nearby caves.
On our way we had the sweetest surprise ever waiting for us!
It was time to release the baby turtles to the sea! It was priceless to witness this phenomenon! Such an experience!
We found the caves and had fun « immortalizing » them… and us inside them!
Our afternoon was spent between the pool and our sunbeds.
We had dinner at El Vikingo tonight with some of the other guests.
Fish cakes for appetizers and a Vietnamina (Asian noodles loaded with veggies) with shrimps as our main course.
After all the efforts of our surfing lesson we indulged in an amazing carrot cake complete with salted caramel and pecans!Leggi altro

Surf and yoga!
20 novembre 2023, El Salvador ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Another amazing day in Salvador perfecting our surfing techniques!
After our lesson we went to the village to try « pupusas », a local specialty that looks a bit like pancakes made of rice or corn flour filled with different mixtures. We indulged in three different ones: cheese and avocado, cheese and « asparagus » and cheese with squash and zucchini. Delicious!
At sunset, we went for a yoga class in a beautiful setting at the Garten hotel!
How inspiring!
Let it be known that it was my first yoga class in person and I absolutely loved it!
Dinner was a very tasteful seafood chowder complete with salad and mushroom focaccia!
Early night for us tonight as we are leaving at 6:00 tomorrow morning to go on yet a new adventure!Leggi altro

Volcano and lake!
21 novembre 2023, El Salvador ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Wake up time: 5:30
Departure time: 6:00
Why? Where?
To go hike the Santa Ana Volcano!
4 km of walk in the forest and then on rocks to make it to the top of the crater.
Much effort well rewarded!
What a feeling to make it to the top and the view was simply stunning!
The turquoise sulfurous lake down below was worth every drop of sweat!
We then set off for Coatepeque Lake. Another gem!
Charlotte even got to go on her very first jet ski ride! She loved it!
We drove through San Salvador, the capital, on our way back.
The rest of the afternoon was spent walking on the beach, chilling in the pool and watching yet another stunning sunset!
On the menu for dinner: penne alla vodka with grilled zucchinis, a chip of parmesan and garlic bread!Leggi altro

Açaï bowl and more surfing!
22 novembre 2023, El Salvador ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C
After a much needed restful night, we were ready to catch more waves!
We decided to go to El Zonte for breakfast.
We had an amazing smoothie and an açai bowl! They both were so delicious!
We walked back to our resort and waited for the waves to calm down a bit.
The sea was a little rough today but it didn’t deter us from getting onto our boards.
Oh the fun that we had! We both had our best surfing day so far! I guess we needed the little challenge of bigger waves!
After a nice healthy lunch of vegetarian burrito and fruits we lounged in the pool and on the deck before heading back to the cave for a special photoshoot!
It was time for for yoga at sunset tonight and it was a real challenge this time around!
On the menu tonight for dinner: oysters (yummy!), shrimps and vegetables!Leggi altro

Surf, El Tunco and sunset!
23 novembre 2023, El Salvador ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C
New day, new adventures!
This morning we went to Canegue for breakfast, a restaurant owned by Oli who used to live in Charlesbourg. We ate an AMAZING breakfast before heading out to a new spot for our surfing lesson. We rode at the open back of a truck in true Salvadorian style to get there! That was pretty cool!
Now… we were past the « breaking point ». I was way out of my zone of comfort and did not have so much fun. It was a different story for Charlotte who found it a challenge but managed to enjoy herself.
We headed on the local bus to El Tunco this afternoon. Such a colorful village! We had a great time eating more pupusas and frozen yogurt as well as doing a bit of shopping.
Our last sunset was spent with our feet in the sea. It was a beautiful one and we made sure to take plenty of pictures of it!
We treated ourselves to a very nice dinner at the Garten hotel: sushis and a grilled salmon and avocado salad!Leggi altro

We have a surfing pro!
24 novembre 2023, Canada ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C
We sure made the most of our last morning in Salvador!
Abs workout on the beach for me and the ultimate surfing lesson for Charlotte!
She did amazing! She caught practically all the waves! She is definitely a natural!
We went to Playa Las Palmas for her lesson so we got to see another little parcel of Salvador!
Such an amazing week with excellent food!
We will miss you Salvador!Leggi altro
