The big breakfast

Early in the morning the day started with a delicious breakfast buffet with a large selection. From fried bananas to toast to beans with rice, there was everything. Relatively quickly we went to the language school.

A big thank you!

The heat was very oppressive and therefore many jumped into the pool with bathing suits or normal clothes. As homework, my beginner group was given the task to write a thank you speech in spanish, which we will then present on the last day. My group sat down in the evening and drafted this speech. For the spanish professionals amongst you, this is the speech in spanish, but below it is the speech in german for everyone else. And for Sophia’s grandparents and Annas parents in englisch, too.

A short break which we all needed

After a long wait for lunch, which stretched to three quarters of an hour, we had a short lunch break in which many took the opportunity to call family and friends at home or take a short nap. But this did not last too long for the second surf group. Due to the delayed lunch we had to leave directly for surfing. We were all full of anticipation and excited to see how the waves would be that day.

The process is professing

With all of them we saw strong progress in surfing. The teachers are super nice and give us good tips. In one or the other big wave you could also discover stingrays, which swam majestically around in the wave. But be careful not to step on them. The sun was shining and the water was nice and warm. The feeling of surfing together with everyone between the waves and then going for a swim made everyone happy. Much too quickly already the other group came, who surfed into the sunset and had an incredible time.

A great shoreleave

At the same time Franzi, Saba and me went to eat at a café recommended by my sister. Many thanks for that to Leni, who went along last trip. After a walk on the beach into the sunset, we went from one side of town to the other. More and more we bought souvenirs for our loved ones. This trip also ended way too quickly, so we headed back.

Poolparty

After we all arrived back here at our hostel, a big pool party started. The pool and the Jacuzzi were still used by some late into the night, while the others fell half dead into bed. The atmosphere in the evening was very relaxed. On the whole it was a very nice day and we all learned a lot!

Best regards from Costa Rica:
