Lost while looking for paradise.
I finally made it to Puntarenas the ferry port over to the Nicola Peninsula. Itself was a local tourist hotspot for the San Jose crowd. I got a cheap room, another cell, but this one had cable tv so I stayed a couple of days. It was a nice mix of fishing port, local touristy, and later on a cruise ship port of call. I hadn´t seen a cruise ship since leaving the Virgin Islands. Man, there must be some sort of cruise ship dress code for the tourists because they really stood out.
Happy days for me in PuntoArenas. Fresh fish plate $4.
Anybody else getting an erection seeing this.
Pretty sunset. Haven´t seen one of those before.
This was the local catch off the pier right at sunset. It did hurt a bit when I started kicking my ass right there on the pier for giving away my light tackle spinning gear. I do know what would have happened though. I would have started fishing, met up with some local fisherman, gone out on a boat, broke my light tackle equipment, bought some heavy duty boat rigs, caught a few big ones, and then got stuck with a bunch of useless heavy duty rigs for the rest of the trip.
I remember using these blood worms for bait when I was kid catching perch off the docks. I guess pretty much the same thing.
