    Costeno beach

    July 15, 2023 in Colombia ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    Taxied to costeno beach and to stay at a surf camp even tho we didn’t see any surfers. Was a very very chill place which we definitely needed. Pretty sure Finn slept for 16 hours. We got persuaded into a surf lesson even tho the first guy said it wasn’t suitable for beginners which we made very clear we were. Had two instructors for the 4 of us who definitely spent the whole time laughing at us. We practiced in a river first all seemed good. We then ventured out into the sea, only two of us allowed in at a time so we were one on one with an instructor. Genuinely never been so scared of drowning in my life I felt like I got beaten up by the sea. Was not fun at all, lasted approx 10 minutes in the sea and then gave up. I think I’ll stick to uk surfing. Decided to treat ourselves to a party at another hostel but had to walk along the beach in the pitch black and saw the biggest crabs ever. Did lots of star gazing and had a go at beach volley ball but was pretty bad in the dark. Becca left us early in the morning for Peru and we took another Colombian bus to palomino!Read more
