Buena Vista Beach

Hi all,
just adding some photos and it's taking an age, so thought we (Bob, Stu and with Davo helping...slightly) would add a proper post, seeing as no one else seems to have.
At the moment we're in a labour camp on Buena Vista Beach, which, based upon first impressions, looked like it was going to be a bit sh....bad. But it's actually quite nice, now that we don't have to work 16 hours per day, thanks to Nick!
the accommodation is basic to say the least. Imagine a garden shed, erected on stilts, with termites chewing through the stilts. Saying that though, Davo is on top of the world. there is more vegetarian crap than he could ever eat! although all the costa ricans sem to think he is either a girl or gay. Any input on this matter would be very much appreciated, as it has caused many a heated discussion (and a lot of hilarity).
The Pacific Ocean is savage. Warm, but savage. I nearly had my clothes torn right off by it, although I fear it may have been a rogue turtle...
Leela is enjoying the company of the locals, Jocelyn is scaring easily, and Seb has nearly killed 4 of us in his sleep. Last night I'm told he imitated Hitler, however Jess told me this, so the evidence is nowhere near concrete...! However it may have actually been Tim, who thinks Stalin may have been doped up during the holocaust of his people. There have been lots of interesting comments from Tim...! Many times Wan has been needed to provide tumbleweeds....!
Kate's burned every square inch of skin on her body, then had it bitten, and then bruised it. Binns is ginger as ever, (mind you so are Chaz and Seb now.......). Chaz is enjoying the whole group sleeping in the same room, as is Bob. but let's not get started on Bob, as the already low tone of this post may go underground...Stu is missing Lily, and crying about it daily. Helen's making some odd noises as I type, but we've become accustomed to this by now...Jon is looking typically british in his nice new hat...
anyway, my pictures are uploaded now, and everyone is pi**ed off at me...! So it's probably time to go.
in all seriousness though, everyone's having an awesome time, and we're all just about fine.

Sorry...!

Hi all,
This is just a quick entry to say sorry for the distinct lack of communication thus far. It's not because we just don't care (well...probably not...!), it's more the fact that they don't have internet in the mountains or the swamps!
However, we are now all sitting in the internet cafe at 10am, so I imagine there will soon be a massive influx of posts!
