... the bottom I wanted to go again but the 45 minute climb with the board wasn&#8217;t particularly appealing combined with the fact it wasn&#8217;t an option meant I had to be content with surviving with no abrasions, no wipe out and a speed of 31 KMPH.<br><br>I did more Spanish classes in preparation for my week in Lagartillo <br><br>I drank too much rum, oh Flor De Cana... amazing stuff.<br><br>I got to see a side of Leon that most tourists don&#8217;t by spending time ...

Zo....even bijpraten.<br><br>Na de corn islands zijn we in één dag doorgereisd naar Ometepe Island en hebben we ons genesteld in Santa Domingo bij hostel buena vista. Het zag er nog even naar uit dat we het niet gingen redden omdat er geen bus kwam....en het tevens enorm begon te regenen. Uiteindelijk kwam er toch nog een chickenbus en bereikte we de locatie in het donker. Gelukkig konden we nog wat ...

Friday 11th September 2009<br><br>We met Matt and Omri for breakfast and Howard our guide turned up too to take us safely to the petrol station, he even arranged a taxi for us - what a guy! After a healthy and nutritious (sure) breakfast we headed to the local bus station where we took a bus to Granada. The outdoor station was crazy. We weren´t even out of the cab and there were touts shouting and banging on the window, all trying to get our business. We ...

... was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen or 'almost&#8217; put into my mouth in my life. Later that day, still with no food, it started to rain so we went and had 3 to many TONAs and I felt myself mucho borracha (very drunk), haha, so we then got some food and I went back to the hostel for a 3 hour nap while everyone else sat outside the hostel at a restaurant and talked. I really was not that impressed with Granada, I wanted to go back ...

... same public health workshops<br>and to fortify the communication between the clinic and the hotels<br>(with my project mini fund, we were able to buy a cell phone for the<br>clinic - before, there was no way for people to contact the health<br>workers) <br> Whilst it was very exciting to work on the frontlines<br>against this epidemic, this work proved extremely challenging for a<br>variety of reasons; The timing of the arrival of A H1N1 was ...

... for days. The boats DID stop sailing finally and the planes didn't fly. We were stuck on this stormy island with nothing to do except watch TV. Until the satelite went down with the weather too. The minute the weather improved and the planes flew we were on one .... a very little one ... in fact there were just the 4 of us in it .... Normally, you wouldn't be able to get me on one of those tiddly things but the thought of getting back on that boat ...

... dass wir wirklich die billigere Variante wollten. "Aber die 1. Klasse ist doch besser!". Ach wirklich? Danke! Zwei Meter Reling gab es am unteren Deck und der Blick ueber den See in der Abendsonne und der langsam näher rückenden Vulkaninsel war einfach wunderschön! Natur pur, was kann da schon mithalten? Wie gesagt, die Insel besteht eigentlich aus zwei Vulkanen, die in der Mitte über einen schmalen Steg herabfliessender Lava ...

... de colapsar, la mayoría han sido bellamente restaurados o renovados y funcionan como restaurantes, hoteles o como casas particulares. <br>Otra manera de echarle un vistazo a la ciudad es subiendo a una de las torres de la iglesia La Merced.<br><br>Siguiendo la calle La Calzada o la contigua calle El Caimito, que conectan al centro con el lago, se llega al Malecón de Granada, en donde se puede dar un paseo y disfrutar de la brisa y la vista del enorme Cocibolca. <br><br>

... up. We caught an overpriced cab for the 20 Km drive to San Jorge on the lakeshore. We arrived San Jorge, jumped from the cab and ran to the dock as a boat was about to leave. Another gringo said we was waiting for the 2:30 Pm boat which was another 30 minutes away.Upon closer inspection the boat about to depart looked to listing port and was low in the stern. The wind was blowing over 25 mph and there were some real swells. To ...

... day trip to a local volcano while I was there: Volcan Mombacho. The top wasn´t really active (there was no lava or steam, anyway), but it was covered in a beautiful cloud forest. Walking around there, I saw my first monkey of the trip! Yea! You never really get tired of seeing monkeys. I saw him from far away, swinging on a branch. <br><br>The next day I slept in, watched silly tv, and headed off to Laguna de Apollo for language school.
