A new day begins - Playa Herradura (Costa Rica, pacific coast) - [Explore]

Five o´clock in the morning, I am awake since two hours ago as a consequence of the jet-lag. The difference with Spain is 8 hours here in Costa Rica. It is a wonderful opportunity to go out and to take some photos of the dawn, never was so easy to get up so early. We are in Playa Herradura, a nice place in the pacific coast of Costa Rica, a walk through the beach allows me to enjoy the quietness of the hour. I take some shots using a PCV chair taken in the hotel´s garden to place my small tripod (gorilapod), the only one I was able to place inside my luggage. I finish taking photos and go back to my hotel room, there are still two hours for the breakfast. The walk has been productive.

Cinco de la mañana, llevo dos horas despierto, es lo que tiene el jet-lag. Aquí hay ocho horas de diferencia con España, así que la oportunidad es ideal para salir a fotografiar el amanecer, nunca me ha costado menos madrugar. Estamos en Playa Herradura, una localidad de la costa del Pacífico en Costa Rica, un paseo por la playa permite disfrutar de la tranquilidad de esta hora. Tiro unas cuantas fotos aydándome de una silla de PVC que hay en el jardín del hotel, para apoyar el minitrípode que he podido traer en la maleta (el gorillapod). Termino de hacer las fotos y me vuelvo a la habitación, aun me quedan casi dos horas para bajar a desayunar. El paseo ha merecido la pena.
