Bahía Drake to Dominical

Woke up to the brilliant views over the bay. Derry headed out for a run along the beach while the rest of us chilled.
Saw the occasional McCaw flying over often in pairs and in the tree just off the balcony we counted at least five very large lizards feasting off the fresh leaves.
Got ourselves tidied away and were planning to load up, have brunch and get going to Dominical when we discovered that the car had a flat tyre.
Although Derry was able to change to the spare (in the baking hot 🥵 ) it may not have been up to the journey back to the main highway. As luck would have it there happened to be a garage of sorts right next to where the car was parked but after speaking to a woman inside it turned out her husband was guiding in Sirena until 2 o’clock. The car hire company however were able to give us the name of a more local chap who we contacted so Derry and I drove out to him leaving Melissa and Freya at the Coco cafe.
The guy was brilliant and sorted us out quite quickly although his garage was nothing more than a garden next to the road! All done for $20 and also two free bracelets for the ladies.! Garage service Costa Rica style! Pura Vida 😄.
Had a lovely brunch at the Coco cafe and I had a traditional Costa Rican coffee using what looked like a well used cloth prophylactic! 😳
Then continued onto Dominical , which took us another couple of hours.
The place we’re staying in Dominical, Tribe boutique hotel , Melissa spotted when we came through last time.
A really excellent location in the town, a lovely vibe with neutral decor and also an excellent pool.
Caught the sunset with many people doing the same thing- quite stunning.
A rather spicy meal in the Phat noodle followed by some cards at the Fuego brewery.Read more
