Rain, crocodiles and one legged surfers

Now you'd think we would be used to constant non stop rain coming from the UK, but Costa Rican rain is something special. It has rainied constantly for the last 4 days. The roads are flooded, rivers are swollen and thats apparently when crocodiles come out to play in the surf.

Ceri said to me the other day, maybe you should watch out for crocodiles and I thought.... "hmm I've never heard of any surfers ever being attacked by crocodiles.... " When we were driving north up the coast, across one of the swollen rivers, Ceri spotted a 8 foot monster on the riverbank. The noise she made was a bit like this: " eeeewwwwwwwaaauuuuugggghhhh".

Inspired by her croc spot, Ceri did some research and found out that on the beach I surfed 2 days ago, Hermosa beach, a croc bit a surfers leg. check out this link. http://www.surfingthemag.com/news/surfing-pulse/crocodile-attack-costa-rica-surfer-092508/

But parents!! Don't worry, we won't be surfing anywhere near rivermouths and we will keep a sharp eye out for the crocs. Also these attacks are extremely rare!!! I repeat, DON'T WORRY.... because even if we did lose a leg, we could still surf, like this amazing chap in Bali!
