Home sweet home.

After 25 hours of flying, 11 hours of layovers and 1 missed flight, we are home at last! Unfortunately we both feel like the holiday was short (even though it wasn't) and wish that we were still overseas! Still, it is nice to come home to good weather and we're looking forward to hitting the beaches over the coming weekends.

Hope you have enjoyed sharing our travels with us, see you around!

Mel and Sam.

The route to get to the beach, Ometepe Island, Nicaragua. The cows were still there on the way back too.

The scariest thing we have done so far on the trip- boat ride back from Ometepe Island. It involved huge waves (despite the fact that we were on a lake- albeit a very, very big lake), a crazily rocking boat, far too many people (I was one of many sitting on the floor) and when we got back into port, there was no room at the dock! So we had to climb from out boat to another boat, then from that boat to the dock using these walkways and "hand railings"- that meaning planks of wood held at each end by the boat staff!

Hi everyone! Here we are, almost at the end of our trip in what will probably be one of the last posts for our blog. 6 weeks has gone ridiculously fast and neither of us wants to come back home! So much has happened that I don´t feel like I can really write about it so it´s just a photos post this time.

At the moment we´re in La Fortuna, Costa Rica. Tonight we´re visiting a hot springs spa resort (it´s a hard life) and tomorrow a horse riding trip to a waterfall for a swim. Day after that, it´s on to San Jose then home =(

It´s been an awesome trip, ups and downs of course and a few minor illnesses but, overall, I can´t really complain! Only 3 more sleeps...wah.
