Tired of battling strong head and side winds, we took a couple of days off
to visit the beautiful Isla de Ometepe formed by two volcanoes rising
out of Lago de Nicaragua. |
 |
| Leaving our bikes in the hotel we headed out around the
island by bus. We were puzzled by Bus Rule number 4 which stipulated
that we must ‘use inside
voices’. |
 |
| Due to the heat, the schoolroom is open air. |
 |
| An unusual mode of transport! Apparently very effective
if the bull is trained at a young age. |
 |
| We spotted these beautiful, noisy white throated magpie
jays throughout the Pacific lowlands from Mexico onwards but here on the
island they are particularly cheeky and try to steal food from your plate. |
 |
| We swapped the bus for a more traditional mode of
transport to locate some ancient petroglyphs but two hours of this caused
more muscle aches than we have ever had on the bicycles. |
 |
| We felt that this island was one of the most beautiful
places in Central America. |
