Isla de Ometepe, Lago Nicaragua
Im here on the island of Ometepe on Lake Nicargua. The keyboard is not cooperating, so youll need to bare with me for this post.
The island is magnificient, it is lush and tropical and is formed from two dormant volcanos that jut out of the water. Lake Nicaragua is the largest lake in Central America and the 10th largest lake in the world. It contains the only fresh water sharks in the world. I think they are bull sharks. Getting here involved a 4 hour ferry ride, the ferry was contining for another 8 hours -overnight. I saw a shooting star along the way. The ferry looked like a refugee boat, people put up hammocks or claimed some floor space in which to sleep on. I was glad to get off when I did. Ive been palling around with another French guy, sadly he is married, but funny as hell, so Im having a great time. He says he is my body guard. When we got off the boat all of the mini vans were full, so we climbed onto the roof for the 3 kilometer drive on a bumpy dirty road into town. He is biking Nicargua so his bike went on the roof too.
Yesterday I rented a bike on my own...mi French amigo offered to ride with me, but I told him I would only slow him down. I did 15 kilometers and found some cool natural pools and enjoyed the afternoon there. He biked 60 kilometer. Today, it hurts to sit down. This morning I hitched to the beach with a Swiss girl...it is very safe to hitch, you just get in the back of a pickup with everyone else. It is a fun way to meet the locals, they have fun with us and we them. Horses, pigs and countless chickens roam the dirt roads. I love seeing the pigs just out cruising around. Bannanas are grown here, the bannana leaves are giagantic, it is very pretty.
Before Ometepe I spent a couple of days at a cool lodge on another lake, Lago Apoyo. It is a lake in the crater of a dormant volcano. I did some kayaking and there was a dock on the water that was nice to lay out on. I spent my days lounging in a hammock and my evenings star gazing. It is amazing to see the sky without light polution. Their water pump was broken, so you could only flush and shower after 6, when they hooked into a neighbors pump for the dinner hour. It was not really a problem, this is life in a 3rd world country.
I stayed a night in Granada, a few nights ago.... it is a cool colonial city and walked the busy, noisy, smelly market. I love people watching.
Still not sure what I am doing for the holiday, I may join the Swiss girl and a couple of German guys and head to the Corn Islands in the Caribbean.
Thats all for now, folks. If I do head there, I may be incognito for a week or so, not sure what is out there for connectivity.
Happy holidays, love to you all....
