Yes I'm still alive and kicking but things were busy. Some pictures of what I was up to lately...

Today was my last day of thesis research after a few days off. Last week there were 2 days of celebrating Central America's independence and since I consider myself an inhabitant now I thought I was allowed to take some vacation as well. I planned to flee the world of thesis and shrimps for some more surfing (or something like that :-) ). I was actually doubting about going to the Caribbean coast or at least do something more cultural but 4 days of ocean-happiness seduced me so I went back to San Juan Del Sur.
Hostels kick ass, especially if you travel alone so with a bunch of Israeli's, Belgians, Austrians, Kiwi's, Aussie's and more nationwide peeps I spent my last days of Nicaragua life.
Surfing happened this time at Playa Hermosa, a protected beach that you access by sitting one hour on bumpy truck through the jungle. The beach was awesome and waves (maybe a little too) huge. I strongly believe one day I won't be surfing like a clown anymore... To bad on sunday the fin of the board broke and I got into this drama-discussion with the hostel lady about what they wanted to charge me for it. Mamma mia what a word-fight... Never try to discuss with a Nicaraguan hyperactive woman. Luckily a US girl who just started working there (with the supercool lastname "beverage"), could arrange something so I didn't end up paying way too much. On saturdaynight we got some vip passes a live music party at a hotel full of rich Nica people. It didn't took long before the hotel was taken over by hippie/backpacker peeps and soon people were jumping into the pool and stuff. The guards went bananas. I was way to tired ( maybe also caused by the huge plate of seafood for dinner, Yummie) and on sunday my last chickenbus ride of this summer took me back to Chinandega.
Wednesday I'm flying back home! Sad to leave this beautiful place, relieved the research part is over though and also very looking forward to be back home with friends for longer than only one week since France. Belgique j'arrive!...
PS. If you guys want Nicaraguan stuff: hammocks, iguana's, monkeys, plantanes,... Last hours of ordering are starting now...
