Ometepe, 8th wonder of the world.

We just spent a couple days in Ometepe, an island in the largest fresh water lake in central america, mae up of two massie active volcanoes, pressed together like breasts. There is a legend that actually mentions that part, so it wasn´t just my own dirty mind.

Anyhow, we met up with some amazing dudes over there, Harold and Will. Two local guides whohad done stints in the US so they spoke really good english. They took us on a hike up the mountain (think thailand jungle trek but always straight up. Matty was doing fine, I however was just dying. We did make it, and I didn´t even puke on my own shoes or anything, so that was a serious plus. We got to the lookout that sits around 1000 meters and could see for miles across the lake etc. It was absolutely gorgeous and I took a buttload of photos there. We saw a bunch of moneys on the way up and down, as well as some crazy looking bugs.

We partied it up huge withthe guys and the two canadian girls that came wiht us on the tour, hen had to basically hitchike home, as theres no busses after a certain time in ometepe, and that time was much earlier then the time we wanted to stop drinking. It was all good though, as our boys hooked up up withthe firt car going out way, and it didn´t cost us a dime.

The next day we went to a natural spring and it was amazingly beautiful. Crystal clear waters, just cool enough to be refreshing and a robe swing, which also ruled.
There Many a pics of us using that.

We are now in a surfing town called San Juan Del Sur and its a pretty cool little spot, though it is certainly dead during the weekdays at night. We got pretty drunk last night, and I made the mistake of going for the Ron Plata... and I won´t be doing that again.. I´m still not feeling well and it is afternoon. I´ll have to splurge for the good rum, as just over 2 bucks a bottle.

Anyhow, Matty and I are doing a canopy tour then watching a turtle hatching/laying tonight, so that should be amazing as well. Unfortunately the turtles are disturbed by camera flashes, so I don´t think I´ll be taking photos unless ther is enough light to get some without the flash.

Out.
