Rayito de Luna San Juan del Sur

... and to stay with him at Casa D’Abram. So 30 minutes later, I am heading to the beach with Brad, surf boards, surfers, sun worshippers and others. James, who has beaten me back on his moto, meets me down on the beach and we walk up the short path to Casa D’Abram. As we walk, he starts to apologise, “It’s a bit of a building site... but it’s really cool... the people are really nice... err but it is a building site.” I’m beginning to ...

... of the kayaking company had left us disheartened.

We caught a bus to Altagracia that afternoon and spent a few hours in the park again, trying to figure out how to get to the port. Luckily Jules and Lyndsey flagged down a truck with Tourist Information written on the side and the lady in the truck kindly offered us a lift to the port. She even arranged for a woman who runs a cafe at the port to cook us a meal and let us sit on her porch until the ferry left at midnight that ...

... with a private bathroom. I was not going to have to endure something like that again! Julian went off with some new friends to Maderas beach and Al and I walked around town, taking in the festivities of Independance Day. The marching bands marched and played their drums, the majorettes shook their booties and waved their batons, the crowds cheered. The smell of hot dogs and hamburgers filled the air. The Latin Americans have taken a leaf out of the United States ...

... a couple of beaches up from that (the name eludes me at present), but basically all you need to know about the place is that its amazing.

We had direct access to four beaches: Playa Majagual, the one I can't recall the name of, some other beach I don't even know the name of, and Playa Maderas itself, one of Nicaraguas top surf spots. There are no shops and no internet cafes, just a smattering of lodgings and shacks that served as restaurants. We didn't even have ...

... down too. It´s funny, because now I´ll be going north and most of the people I´ve met are going south or are flying out of Costa Rica or Panama. Therefore, I´ll be meeting a ton of new people. All round, great times and it was a bit hard pulling myself away to head to the enchanted Isla de Ometepe.

By the way, I have some pictures of us actually surfing (trying to), but I can't seem to upload them to the blog.

... a two hour bus ride and stayed at this finca that grows coffee. I rented a hammock for two dollars for two nights. It was gorgeous as you can see in the pictures. I needed a light cover during the night. There were awesome thunder storms with tons of lightning that filled the whole sky and we could see out over the ocean. >Jut incredible. This place is by itself and had monkeys, snakes, frogs, lightning bugs, coffee plants, giant mango trees ...

Hola dear family and amigos, here was last week also Easter-week and that is really bad in San Juan del Sur, and that was the reason i visited Ometepe, the worlds largest Island in a freshwater lake {Lake Nicaragua is actually also the largest lake of south and nortamerica}. Unfortunately the Internet ...

... drasl. Managgua er mjog sérstok borg, that er t.d. engin midbaer, bara hverfi og svo verslunarmidstodvar. Borgin fór illa í jardskálfta árid 1972 og lítid verid gert upp sídan thá. Svo er rosalega mikill gródur tharna thannig thegar madur horfir yfir borgina lýtur thetta alls ekki út eins og borg heldur meira eins og skógur med húsum hér og thar, enda er thetta víst kallad "graenasta borg" mid-Ameríku. Thóra fór svo med okkur ad vatni sem heitir "Laguna de Apoyo" og er i gomlum ...

We have spent a few days on the island of Ometepe, which is in lake nicaragua, and is basically 2 volcanos (now inactive). We deciding to hire bikes so we could ride to a waterfall, though in retrospect that might have been a mistake. After a 15km bike ride (it didnt look that far on the map!) on very rocky unpaved roads with lots of hills we got to the waterfall entrance. Though we were too hot so had a quick dip in lake nicaragua before ...
