So...when we left off, we had just survived our volcano climb, I wish I could say it has been smooth sailing since then, but I can´t.
Just kidding, it has been really awesome! We left Danger Island couple days after the hike, by overnight boat, which wasn´t a highlight, but served its purpose (we slept on the deck). We landed early morning in San Carlos, and took another boat down the Rio San Juan to El Castillo, an old Spanish fort built to protect the lake and the city of Grenada (the Spanish colonial capital) from pirates. It is set up on a hill at a bend in the river near some rapids, so anyone trying to get by would´ve had real trouble, as they were in range for some time. The history of it was fascinating, and would´ve been more so if we read spanish. We only stayed one night in a little place right over the river, and then back to San Carlos for transport into Costa Rica.
