The next morning I woke early and headed to the public bus station to make my way to Ometepe, two volcanoes in the middle of Lake Nicaragua which make an island which people have settled on. One of the volcanoes is still active and the other is dormant. The lake which houses the island is the something like the 18th biggest in the world which is a pretty large percentage of such a small country. It also has the only popluation of fresh water sharks, which we...

After walking to the bus station, which was incredibly close and convienient I jumped on the public bus to the boarder. Once at the boarder I had to go through various windows for different paperwork while been hasseled to change currency, as it is clear to anyone that they are not holding $1000's worth so it must be fake and after 30 plus people shouting 'cambio,cambio' in my face while wafting the fake notes around I was astounded they were still trying and t...

After a few goodbyes I made my way to the hostel for the night before heading off in the morning. Here I just relaxed for the evening in the hostel with a few guys fr...

In the morning with Khrissy feeling better we headed to the mainland ready for our huge journey.

This was by far the most remote place I have been so far, with no roads or cars the locals use a small ca...

After an early start I began my journey to the Bocas del Toro Isalnds in Panama. I'd heard from a girl at Spanish school that Bocas has two rules that everyone breaks...1) I'm leaving tomorrow, 2) I'm only having one drink. So obviously Bocas was my next destination. Using the shuttle from Peurto Viejo I headed to the boarder between Costa Rica and Panama. Here we got out the van and went to customs. I'd heard alot of stories about the boarder with people ready...
