After a fun ferry ride chillin' out for a few hours in our deckchairs, we arrived at Isla Ometepe! Lago de Nicaragua is the biggest lake in Central America and has hundred of small islands, the biggest being Ometepe. Made up of two volcanoes, joined by an isthmus, the islands culture and wildlife are pretty unique. Its a pretty rustic and rural place, the dirt tracks linking up the islands communities made for a pretty wild truck ride!
We caught a truck to Santa Domingo, the 'beach' area in the center of the island. We had a beautiful time there just relaxing, walking and horse riding; waking up at sunrise to see the island come to life was special. Monkeys swung from the trees, herds of cows bathed in the lake and beautiful birds were everywhere!
Pics are: Our view from the breakfast table; a howler monkey; cattle at dawn; taking a stroll along the beach and Captin' Pete on board the ferry!
