First day of climbing

We saw our first monkey!!! The guy climbing next to me said "watch me, there is a monkey throwing leaves at me" to his belay partner, and indeed! mmm...cute. This morning we climbed at the beach, right by where we're staying. The room we have here is basically 2 beds, with a giant bug net over both of them, a toilet seat  in the back, a seat cover, but no flush. A big bucket of water and a faucet next to it: the idea is the higher you throw your water from, the more powerful your flush. Pretty cool set up! After luch, --Brendan dared to order some spaghetti bolognese!-- we rented a kayak, and went around the beach corner, to check out some deep water soloing stuff... oooohooooo! Too cool, but I'm totally afraid of falling. I'm at the turn around and jump stage. Brendan said it was normal...! Nice coach! He went pretty high and jumped too. And then, a crazy tropical rain started coming down, so we played a little more, and paddled our butts back to the beach. It's still coming down, but it's so warm. Love all the comments you've been posting... keep them coming! Tonight Brendan said he was ready to try some local food... oh oh oh... we'll let you know how that went :)
Much Love,
Chloe-

Sounds like good news!
We had a lot of wind here too, but that was anything but tropical. No monkey yet, just a couple of sea lions.
Do take pictures when Brendan tries the local food..., not sure he'll do it twice :)
Take care, and enjoy!

OK, je viens de comprendre comment ca marche...Les toilettes sans flush...il y a donc encore plus rustique que Don Pedro!Pour le reste, ca m'a l'air tout a fait acceptable comme conditions de survie.

Super, on se met à l'anglais puisque le 3e jour vous avez décidé de ne plus traduire...ça a l'air assez exotique sur certains plans...profitez bien ! bises. Christine. Grand moment première utilisation d'un blog c'est grâce aux commentaires des autres qu'on comprend mieux les textes!!bises Tharcise

Content de savoir que vous êtes bien arrivés. C'est un peu difficile de lire vos messages car notre anglais n'est pas d'hier. L'essentiel est que tout aille bien pour vous et que vous passiez de chouettes vacances.
Bisous à vous deux
Minnie et JL
