I ventured into an internet cafe to see if I could make a reservation somewhere. Apparently, you can´t book a reservation for any hotel, hostel, hell, even hammock in Montañita ahead of time. So I asked the internet attendant (turned out to be the owner as well) for a recommendation and, as luck would have it, there are habitacciones above the cafe. Mauna Loa. A room with my own private bath, a deck off the back overlooking the ocean, with a hammock toboot. A shower later, I went back downstairs and happy hour had begun among the owner and his wife and the others who work there. Am I in heaven?!?

Mauna Loa
Off the bus in Montañita, I cruised the main restaurant, cafe, bar drag looking for a good spot to call home but everywhere I went, the rates were high. I´d been on the bus for about 8 hours and needed to wash my face at the bare minimum. Lugging a backpack around in the beach heat...not my idea of a good time.
