Isla de Ometepe
10th of May
Isla de Ometepe is a magic little island is the middle of lake Nicaragua. it has two big volcanos and lots of monkyies and jungle.
it took about 40 min to get to San Jorge from San Juan. The ferry was $2 per persona and $2 for the bike. it took 1.5 hours on the ferry, pretty slow goer.
We drove over to Santo Domingo and a little beyond to the hotel istiam. it was great. across the street from the lake beach with great breezes! constantly going and cooling you off. hamocks, good food and $15, but if you ask for room 14 it is huge and you can explode all of your stuff and you have a big porch too.
Either kite surfers just dont know about this island or there is some other reason they dont ome here, because the wind is the most consistent i have felt out side Tenerefe spain.
Ometepe has two large volcanoes which you can climb or take horses up. we saw some great forest and lots of monkies. We also drove around the Volcan Maderas it too 1.5 hours and had a bunch of small villages allong the way. some traditional housing.
its a very low key island with few resaurants in Santo Domingo and a small store for basics like water and ice cream.
