Ometepe - apparently the worlds largest freshwater island, also containing 2 fairly active volcanos and its found in the middle of Lake Nicaragua. We were spending 2 days/2 nights on this lovely little island. We got on a "chicken" boat for the hour crossing to the island but the crossing wasn't as awful as the one to Roatan.
When we arrived at our cabin accomodation (we got a beautiful cabin right on the beach with an awesome view), we were quickly informed that unless you wanted to do the 8hr climb up a volcano or horseriding then there wasn't alot to do here. That really didn't bother me too much as I had my books and suncream.
However, on the second day I thought it might be nice to go for a little horse trek along the beach. Alan signed up as well to keep me company but take a good look at the photo below because 2 minutes after that was taken, I got off the horse and didn't get back on. I've never riden a horse independently before so got a bit scared when the horse decided to go for a little walk around the yard.
So instead of a ride along the beach, Alan and I went for a little walk along the beach instead and saw lots and lots and lots of lizards and and a couple of heron. We also got passed by the horse riding group.
Our time on Ometepe was a truly relaxing experience and we were thoroughly recharged by the time we left. We left the same way we arrived but this time we were in the skoda range of "chicken" boats, seriously the one we arrived on was like a ferrari in comparison. This boat was slightly unstable to be fair - but I had one eye on the life jackets and the other eye on the massive waves threatening to come into the boat. It's an adventure tour!
