Nicaragua

We had two nights in the beautiful colonial city of Granada before heading to the Volcanic Island of Ometepe on Lake Cocibolca. It´s so peaceful on the Island, it felt like we had the place to ourselves. The first day we trekked up to a waterfall, the second day kayaked to two monkey islands where there are former pet monkeys who have been set free (like the one Ross had on Friends).
Then we climbed the volcano! 1345 metres! to a crater lake on top. Really difficult going but the cloud forest was incredible, the trees were covered in dripping moss and the clouds were so close. We were clambering through the roots of the trees, so steep for so long, it was like being on Dagobah and we had to use the force several times. Julie was on her arse at least six times. It was worth it at the top though, the crater lake was beautiful and I had to jump in for a dip though it was more like swimming through mud.
