Days 35-36, El Tunco

---

We arrived in El Tunco to a pretty cloudy but hot town, and had to try a couple of hostels before finding our base - as they're full! Not something we've encountered so far, as it's low season.

About an hour after we arrived, the heavens opened. Big time. I've never heard thunder and lightening like it!!

The next day started sunny and we thought our luck might have changed...But jus as I was about to get in the pool it started again! We spent the afternoon taking sunny pictures in torrential rain haha!

Hopefully we will have better luck next time we try a beach...

Given the weather forecast (no sun in sight for five days!) we booked ourselves onto a shuttle to Leon, Nicaragua - leaving at 7am Friday morning. We were there early but 7am came and went, as did 8am. Someone assured us it was on the way, but there'd been a problem at the Guatemala border with someone's passport... Then the bus broke down... Then they didn't have our booking on the system so they had to get another bus to fit us on... Eventually at 11am we set off!

Arriving into Leon at 9pm we checked straight into our hostel and then booked volcano boarding for the next day.....
