I saw a sunset yesterday. A short motorbike trip led me to the coastal viewpoint, the place from I could see something I cannot really express.

El Tunco: Unexpectedly Long StopEl Tunco: Niespodziewanie Długi Przystanek
My hideout. When somebody asks me how long I am here in El Tunco I answer ten days. When they ask me how much more time I plan to stay I respond that it just depends on the surf. Good weather, surfing and cheap hostel dorm (7 USD) was enough to keep me here for…
