Hotel Los Delfines Little Corn Island

... the best meal of the trip so far.. The night was halloween so after dinner and a fair bit of Ron we headed to the Halloween Party with the poor outfits we had managed to muster together and had a very amusing evening. I think the photos give some idea..<br><br>The following day was Jerrod's birthday so having spent the whole day in bed we ventured up the beach to a local lady that had prepared a fish stew for us. It was pretty fishy but a great setting and ...

... aboard the tiniest little plane I've ever been on. Although there was space for a few more, there were seven passengers and two pilots on the first leg of the journey. After dropping off a few in Bluefields, we flew back to Managua with a grand total of six people in the plane. I will say, though -- all the runways were paved. There was no grass involved in the landings or takeoffs, which was a relief. <br>

... night in big corn. On inspection of one place we changed our minds and walked back to the dock, jumped on the lancha that departed at 4:30 pm to Little Corn. <br><br>Little Corn.<br><br>Little Corn surpassed all expectations and apart from torrential rain on the first night (it is the rainy/ hurricane season) we had awesome weather for the whole 6 days and nights we were there. The islands are expensive for central America with breakfasts averaging $5 per ...

... circus.<br><br>The lancha to Little Corn was basically small boat with two enormous outboard motors. Under calm conditions, i imagine it would jet between the islands. Under these conditions, it didn´t slow down and the waves became like jump ramps. With a tarp over us to keep the spray off, we couldn´t see them coming, but you could feel the boat take off and that freefall feeling in the stomach as the boat fell ...

... of days? Another topic came up at the place I was staying - someone asked Alan if he owned the land or if he wanted to purchase it. He looked really confused, and just asked why he needs to own land? "I sleep good at night, no?" Long story short, the people are incredibly chill here. So, the first 4 days here were my diving course. I took it with Reza, one of the Swedish guys that I was sharing a cabin with. We had classroom sessions with videos and some quizzes spread out over ...

... throughout the island in the morning and then a fishing trip in the afternoon. I got suited up on a horse much too small for me. Nicole had a blast, even though we got absolutely drenched half way through. Fishing didn't go as well. The sun came out but they weren't biting. Not even the local fisherman caught anything. There were plenty of fish however, because the guys who went spear fishing with us caught a ...

... luckily, there they were! We saw two, one about 6ft and the other 8ft. They actually were not too big. The pictures are of the 6 footer. It was fun, and they swam with us for about 10-15 minutes. The other group were just learning to dive. Talk about a great certification dive, although they were a little nervous. The sharks were not aggressive at all, and it was just an amazing experience. I felt as though my trip to little ...

... cash or spìn you some line about how one place is better than the next. When we arrived at the three ajacent spots we wanted to stay, we found out they were all booked. Amy rushed around finding somewhere and poucing on backpackers if they looked as if they were leaving. Her persistence paid off and we got a room at Graces. As promised the seas were blue, and the sand white. Coco beach was buffeted by a constant refreshing breeze, which compared to the other ...
