We woke up relatively early on the 26th, brimming with excitement to get out of our room, but more importantly to get on our flight to El Salvador! Around mid-morning, we walked back across the street and checked in to our flight. The attendant tagged our bags and we went through security with out a hitch aside from the check of my massive bag of liquids in my carry on. Once we had the chance to sit and go through our boarding materials, Sarita noticed that we were in business class. I was in disbelief, but in reading through the sleeve, we were entitled to a VIP lounge visit and all of the other amenities! I guess that is why the one-way flight was more costly than we´d expected...added bonus!
We boarded the plane and received complimentary drinks and roasted nuts (Sarita´s highlight) from a very hospitable staff. Before we could even turn on our iPods, we were descending to San Salvador. Hilarious, we had been in business class for a 30 minute flight. We were definitely in hysterics.
Having reached El Salvador, we hopped in a cab straight to the coast. We arrived to Playa El Tunco and were extremely excited. The town was a strip of shops and restaurants surrounded by surfer inns. Our place was great as there was a pool and outdoor living room and one block from the ocean. We immediately changed and hit the beach! The surf was a bit strong, but the temperature of the water beautiful. We settled down for a late lunch and watched the sun set from the restaurant. Once the sun had set, a beach bar opened lined with tiki torches where they were screening surf videos. We took a seat there and enjoyed being outside and viewing the gorgeous starry sky. It was really nice to be able to have some cousin bonding time together.
Later on that evening, we met some guys from San Salvador who gave us tips on where to surf and the four different types of breaks so we´d be prepared for the next days activities.
