Happy new year! Since leaving Antigua (for the second time) we headed to Copan for our one day stop in Honduras, then to Suchitoto for our one day stop in El Salvador. We've come back to the heat and warm weather, especially now that we're in Nicaragua.
We stayed in Leon for 3 nights and spent one day hiking up Cerro Negro Volcano to sandboard down. You could choose standing or sitting and we opted for sitting, since the people said it was harder than snowboarding and we've never even tried that. Turned out to be a smart idea and one of the people who stood ended up with a gigantic hole in the bum of his shorts from falling and sliding down. The people sitting had these little jumpsuits to protect us a bit but they were a couple short and one of the guys in our group who voluteered to go without one ended up taking a huge chunk of skin off both his forearms!
We had New Years Eve party on a private island which had a party with about 100 people. It was sucha beautiful spot but so awkward to get to (and even more awkward to get away from). Totally isolated and really quiet- it had a backpackers on it but some of the girls staying there who we knew said that they'd had the place to themselves for the last 3 days!
Today we bused over to Granada, which seems to be a nicer city than Leon, with a good restaurant district that I'm looking forward to testing out! Here for 3 nights before going to Ometepe Island for a couple of nights which I'm looking forward to.
Can't believe the trip is nearing it's end already! Only 10 days before we leave :(
Pictures to come later when I have my USB converter thingymajiggy with me.
