San Juan Del Sur

For the next 5 days we trained hard. The big 2013 year was just around the corner and knew San Juan Del Sur was the place to be for the new years. Even if you didn't want to party at the Naked Tiger you had no choice. Well, I guess you could just leave. The music starts at 9 a.m and doesn't end until 6 am. Do the right calculations and you get about 3 hours of sleep each night and try and take a few naps in the day time. This town was way more nightlife than anything else. People flock all over the world thinking San Juan Del Sur is a surf town but in reality its a port full of fishing boats. But 20 minutes north or south and you have Hermosa beach and Deltora (I know this is the wrong spelling but you get the idea).

Each day me and Garrett hoped on a bus to get to these beaches to surf. Waves were small but still really fun. The local vibe in the water was not too friendly but if you don't get in there way its all good.

Those days we were at the Naked Tiger met a lot of people. Some would stay for one day while others stayed like us until the new years. Ran into some old friends from Guatemala that randomly showed up and met some great new friends. Mostly Australians, Hawaiians, USA and Europe. Plus a lot of Israelis.

Anyways, the last day was New Years Eve and what a way to end the stay at the Naked Tiger and San Juan Del Sur. My body was aching but ready to push through it. The day started off with buying a $20 wristband that would get us unlimited drinks and a t-shirt. Wahoo. To be honest that day was amazing but bits and pieces are missing in my brain. A bit cloudy. I do know we all pre-gamed at the hostel until about 10 and then headed into town to the club. This time, I lost Garrett from the beginning of the night because I met some Israeli girls and wanted to hang out with them. The streets were crazy packed full of teenagers, families and lots of people. We got into the club and they gave us lanyards (which I guess was the t-shirt they promised us). Found some spot and danced the night away! The rest goes in my black book or in my cloudy brain, but 2013 was fun.
