Santo Domingo

---

We had all heard raving reviews of Isla de Ometepe so a few of us made the journey to the island after a couple of nights in San Juan Del Sur. A very easy journey in all although the 2 english girls I was travelling with were very concious of their bags thus wanting to take a taxi everywhere rather than the local buses which made it quite expensive in total but a little quicker.

Upon arriving in Santo Domingo we found a nice cheap hostel and stayed for 2 nights. Theres really not much to see or do here. Very small place and very basic but nice to relax in the hammock and finish my book. I met a German guy in the hostel who convinced me to rent a bike and go see the volcanos, wasnt the easiest ride but I certainly lost some of the fat Ive been putting on out here that day. We had an hours trek through the jungle looking at some petroglyths which date back 1500 years before leaving the following day.
