Isla de Ometepe, Nicaragua

Ometepe has two volcanos, Concepcion and Madera.  The island sits in Lake Nicaragua which is about the same size as Lake Titicaca in Peru.  

We’re based at Playa Santa Domingo on the east of the island in a fairly idyllic setting.  We walked the length of the beach to reach the next villages passing on the way lots of birdlife, horses out for a run and a swim in the sea, kite surfing and cyclists!   

It was way further than ‘mr google’ said it would be to the next village but fortunately a passing tuk tuk came to our rescue! We enjoyed lunch, mango smoothies and local coffee at Cafe Campestre in Balgue - it’s a farm to table fresh organic cafe.  

On the way back we were entertained by a troop of very cute looking capuchin monkeys.

It continues to be very very windy here, carrying on from our days at Rincon.  On the plus side it makes the heat more bearable!
