San Juan Del Sur

---

We headed to the pacific coastal town of San Juan Del Sur in southern Nicaragua. This place was very gringofied and was a ramshackle tourist town. It is the place to party in Nicaragua. I spent the first night on the sidelines because of a monster burger that I ate at Black Whale where there was also a crab in the toilet that they couldn't get out because it kept hiding. We met a group of Irish guys and of course lots of boozing ensued. I am not really a fan of rum but the Nicaraguan dark rum flor de cana was really good stuff and gave us a great night out. The bay of San Juan was really nice and we went swimming in it and saw a small bull shark and some rays in waist deep water. On the last night we went to the turtle reserve at La Flor and so nesting olive ridley turtles. It was an incredible sight to see to turtles make their nests an lay egges. Also the night sky was incredibly bright and we saw shooting stars.
