Isla de Ometepe - Nicaragua

All of us woke up today not nearly as sore as we imagined after that 9 hour grueling hike yesterday. We managed to get Louis as our tour guide again and he took us to San Ramon to do another hike to a waterfall and tour the 250km radius of the two volcanoes with a population of 50,000. He promised this time we could drive most of the way up the south side of the Maderas volcano and hike only 45 mins into the waterfall from San Ramon. It was still a strenuous hike but so worth it. The waterfall was an impressive 35m high and so refreshing to swim and shower in after the last two days of hiking. He then took us for a local lunch on the beach of Santo Domingo which is normally crawling with people in the heat of the summer but the water is a bit too high for people to enjoy the beach. After we enjoyed Ojo de Auga (eyes of the water) a clear spring in the isthmus of the two volcanoes where we experienced a torrential tropical down poor. After two days of long walks and beautiful springs we settled in a hostel in Moyogalpa.. the power was out in the whole town due to the rain but we managed to find a restaurant with a generator where we sat ate appetizers and multiple rounds of mojitos which are $2.50...and SOOOO good :)
