Day 2 of Nicaragua Trip

We awoke to wonderful wildlife sounds and are ready for our day 2 adventure and discovering Ometepe Island. Where time stands still! Danny our guide talked to us last night about all the things we can do on Ometepe, such as hike 10 hours to places few have seen. (no thanks), swim in health waters where we will look years younger in 20 minutes (yes please) visit a farm, or a coffee planation, maybe some towns or museums.
We decided hiking in the forest and seeing the wildlife is good, as well as swimming, coffee planation, and a farm with drawing carved in the rocks from 1000's years ago. Catch the Ferry back B4 dark and then cross the border back into Costa Rica.
Here are photos from our walk.

The Blue Throated Jay bird

Thorny Cedar tree

A monkey hurrying to get away from us. (they don't see to many tourists here)

This tree looses its red bark and is green under

Our guide tells us about each plant and animal we see

The brown vine snake joins us 

The trees in this small forest are huge

Danny catches the Vine snake and tells us about him

The roots of this tree was amazing


This tree is being killed by the vines climbing on it.
