Playa Dominical Costa Rica

Our goal was to get to the south coast of Costa Rica near the Panama border. After a couple hundred miles of mostly great roads, we ended up in Playa Dominical at a hotel on the ocean just south of the town. The last 30 miles of the ride, however, were on an extremely rough and dusty gravel road that put the large GS Adventures (and the plugged tire) to the test. While everything passed this test nicely, we were not a pretty sight when we set about to find accommodations, being hot and sweaty and thoroughly covered with a thick layer of dust and dirt. Fortunately, our money was clean.
The hotel's open resturant lounge are had a great view of a little cove and the Pacific Ocean.
We enjoyed a, rare for us, Pacific Ocean sunset. The locals also seemed to enjoy the sunset.
Next..Panama here we come.
