After 3 days in Granada it was time to move on. We decide to take the 5 hour ferry ride from Granada to Isle de Ometepe.Left: Carrie, fully laden with her backpack, walks down the pier towards the ferry.
Below Left: Carrie boarding the ferry. We decide to splurge and bought first class tickets. This allowed us to sit on the upper deck in air conditioning and watch a really bad movie.
Below Right: Isle de Ometepe is a large volcanic island bookended by 2 large volcanos. One is still active. We took this picture from the ferry, the top of the volcano covered in clouds.
Once docked, we took a 1 hour mini-bus ride over rough dirt roads to the Isthmus where we hoped to get a room at El Encanto. Well, El Encanto only has 4 rooms and they were full. So, back in the bus for a short ride to another Hostel. We were able to get into El Encanto the next day.

This model of the island was located in the town of Moyogalpa.
Moyogalpa is a port town on the island where we took another ferry back
to the mainland.Below Right: We were able to do a lot of hiking during our stay at El Encanto which can be pretty exhuasting! Carrie is caught relaxing after an especially gruelling hike.
Below Left: Islanders preparing for a day 'at the office'. Hopefully catching the main course for today's meals.
