We spent the last few days in Ometepe islands, basically its two smallish islands with a large volcano on one and a smaller volcano on the other. It is situated in this huge lake in the middle of nicaragua it takes around 4 hours from Granada. Our hostel was locacated on the beach, so most of the time we spent in the fresh water. We originally wanted to climb the smaller volcano except we had no time, and it would have taken 8 hours.

We hired a motorbike, for an hours with the intention of hiring it for 5 more hours the day after. My experience on motorbikes are zero, I thought I would be ok, cant be to hard right?, I completly failed, it was also a manual so that didnt helped I kept on stalling but I did do a mono as I accelerated too quickly after letting go of the clutch, the kickstart was my biggest problem the kick kept on coming back and kicking me in the leg. Thus our plan of motorbiking around the island never came to.

At the moment we are in the corn islands, the island is in the Caribbean. To get here we had to take a flight, the plane was insane, a 12 seater cessna plane, every little bumb was amplified by 10 we all thought we were going to die ha the hour flight felt like 10.
More people on this island speak english and many have that awesome Jamacian accent
In some bad news my credit card was stolen and they managed to take 1500 before I realised and canceled the card.
Otherwise everything else is going well, we will be on the island for 5 days relaxing in the Caribben
