Montezuma

Had a crazily awesome time at Montezuma and Tortuga Island the past 3 days. Montezuma is this tiny little village on the beach surrounded by rainforest, totally remote. It had such a hippie feel to it; guys in dreadlocks selling woven bracelets, coconuts just lying on the ground, people selling weed lol. It took us 6 hours to get there with part of the journey on the crappest roads ever, filled with potholes that the driver had to swerve to avoid. Ended up getting there at 11pm but the water was so warm and it was still so hot and humid so we stayed out for a couple more hours down at the beach and at chicos, this bar/club opposite our hotel.

The next day we took a boat to Tortuga Island! It is just stunning. White sand, blue water, palm trees everywhere. We went snorkelling and swimming and had a banana boat ride which was muchos fun. On the way back we stopped about 4 times just to jump off the boat and swim in the ocean. It was so lovely and warm. We also got to see a whale! After getting back we just chilled at chicos again and practiced some salsa dancing!

The next day (yesterday) we hiked through some rainforest up to this waterfall and when we got to the end, there was this lovely little lagoon at the bottom of the waterfall where we could swim and jump off rocks into the water. A few of us managed to swim behind the waterfall onto this little rock ledge where we sat and then jumped off through the waterfall. It was so magical there. Took lots of photos :) So glad I got a waterproof camera to take with me.

So today we've got spanish lessons, a salsa class and then we're going BUNGEE JUMPING! Scared out of my mind but it should be muy fun :) If I don't die, then I'll blog again later!
Love Julia
