And so it comes…time for the last blog!
We all had a great last week here in Santa Teresa. We had a really successful fishing trip, pulling in a whopping 14 Tuna and 2 Barracuda (and 1 tiny little sardine)! It was a great day out on the boat and left us with food for a week!
We had a slap up BBQ on Friday with our own fish and plenty of fresh salad (one of the abundances of food out here!) .
We also had the last of the surf lessons, spanish and yoga as well. Being heavily involved in the coaching over the last six weeks has really allowed me a sense of job satisfaction. Watching everyone progress throughout our time here has been really special. It is great fun for me to be involved in, and watch as everyone goes through their motions, learning at their own pace, and seeing the enjoyment as they get better.
Our last yoga session with Linia was a lot of fun also. She introduced Patha Yoga which is yoga in pairs. Everyone teamed up and had a good laugh whilst learning the new poses. I have to say that it is such a beautiful place to practice yoga here. The palm trees shading you from the sun whilst a cool breeze washes in from the ocean to keep you relaxed. We will surely be missing it!
Our last eveing we spent chilling on the beach. We took a few beers down and watched yet another breathtaking sunset, a sight which never grows old! When it got too dark to see we made ourselves a roaring fire on the beach and reflected on our time out here.
For me it has been a wonderful trip and I have loved every minute of it! It has been a pleasure spending time with everyone out here and helping them progress in surfing and learn a little more about traveling and a new country. I have enjoyed making these blogs immensely and I hope it has been as pleasureable for everyone at home!
So for me it is time to say goodbye but not before I thank everyone who has been involved in the trip from the vuys in the office making it all happen right through to the wonderful staff at our acomodation, and everyone in between!
Safe travels and I hope to see as many of you as possible down at our Surf Academy in Cornwall over the summer!
All the best
Sam
