... s famous, cheap, and good rum. There were also a lot of islands for sale. One such island was probs about 2 acres and already had a pretty decently sized house on it. It was surrounded by palm trees and a lot of other foliage. Very cute. And guess what, it´s only $200,000! We had to ask the guide twice to make sure we got the price right. So, here´s a proposal, parents. We think you guys should get some friends together (preferably the parents of our ...

... us in a direction to get to the craters edge. It took us another 15mins or so by foot to find our way down a long path until we came to a road that lead directly to the Laguna's edge past several odd looking hostels. Luckily when we arrived it was well worth the wait as there were no tourists but several locals swimming about and local restaurants near the edge of the water offering drinks food etc. Took loads of great pictures and admired the view whilst lying ...

... with perhaps a bit of floating on the water and reading our books on the beach. We had met a fellow South African in our hostel the day before, an Afrikaans guy called Phillip who was travelling for six months through the States and Central and South America. I think he was relieved that he could speak Afrikaans with us and spent the day at the lagoon regaling us about how he has run the Comrades Marathon 14 times! Amazing achievement! He also managed to flag down a ...

... It was incredibly tough going. At one point we were climbing up a lava stream that obviously had lots and lots of bolders and loose rock. It was so dangerous and we had to keep a lot of distance between us. The guide, Silvio, was hilarious. As fit as a fiddle scrambling up the mountain, not a drop of sweat on him while the rest of us were dripping in the stuff and every break we had he´d have three cigarettes. Unbelievable. He called them his vitamins ...

... Also ich finds nicht so schlimm hier... Schoen ists natuerlich schon nicht, aber fuehle mich hier nicht unwohl oder so. Aber ja, passe natuerlich auch doppelt auf, denn es ist eine extrem kriminelle und gefaehrliche Stadt. Dort shoppten wir mal ein bisschen...;) Und ich kaufte mir eine neue Kamera. Habe ich natuerlich Freude, auch wenn ich meiner alten immer noch ein wenig nachtraure... Ja, und dann kam der grosse ...

... nice, its 100% gringoville, but nevertheless very nice. Yesterday we went for a boat trip on Lago Nicaragua around all these tiny islands, where we saw plenty of Kingfishers, Montezumas, and not to mention a whole island of Spider and Capucchino monkeys!!!That was a highlight, and Becca fed one a tomato which made her day! We wanted one less day than what we have here, but our next port of call is Isla Ometepe - an island consiting of two twin ...

On New Year's Day I spent all day trying to get to Ometepe Island, a crazy island formed by two volcanoes that rose out of the waters of the Lago de Nicaragua. The buses and ferries were barely running because of the holiday, but I eventually made it after spending all day wistfully looking at the island from the ferry dock on the mainland. Ometepe is super laid back. It's an agricultural island, where everyone rides horses, pigs are tied up (or loose) in front ...
