Lovely Nicaragua

---

Nicaragua is great, althoug I just left the coutry and am in Costa Rica at the moment.
My first day there where in the Colonial towns, Leon and Granada. I liked it good athmosphere and frienly people, but not that much to do. Then I went to Playa Majugal, to try some surfing, but we were a bit unlukcy there with the swell, or shoul I say the lack of swell, so there where only tiny waves. The Beach was fantastic though but....one day relaxing at the beach was enough.
From there I went to Isla Ometepe, an Island with 2 vulcano's. realy the end of the world, not really developed yet, and the people are the nicest in Central America I think.
I hiked there one of the vulcanos in the pooring rain. so no view at the summit just rain. The next day I had some better luck when I rented a canoe to paddle at the lake..There I made it to monkey island, where the monkeys almost started to jump on top of my canoe!!
To leave the island I took a 10 hour night boat trip to the mainland from where I took a boattrip along the river to cross in to Costa Rica. Hopefully the surf is better here...but later more about that

View from the church tower, I met a local who showed me around, even managed to open the church for me to climb the tower for the good view. Friendly people, the Nicaraguans
