Ometepe
This island is really cool as it is in the middle of the lake and has two volcanos on it. It is really rural and the only way you can get there is by boat. The history behind the volcanos is like Romeo and Juliet, there were two tribes who were not liked by each other and the son and daughter of the cheifs fell in love and wanted to be together but the fathers wouldn't allow it. The two love birds actually killed themselves in order to be together in heavan and the legend says that the volcanos are the two breasts of the daughter. The volcanos erupted and killed all the towns people as they were angry that her and her mate could not be together, or something like that lol. The main attraction clearly is the volcano hikes which I did, well attempted to do. It was 4 hours up a straight hill for the smallet one and I only made it to the half way look out point (two hours of climbing) when my legs were uncontrollably shaking. I went back down for two hours, then walked anouther 1 km to the petrogyphs.The next day I took the ferry bakc to the main land to Granada.
