March–April 2006
Liberia, CR - Granada, Nic - Leon - San Juan del Sur - Ometepe Island - Liberia, CR
Flew from Vancouver (Canada) to Liberia, Costa Rica. Stayed for 3 days to enjoy the beach. Headed up to Granada, Nicaragua after walking across the border. Be aware of money-changers on the minibus (know your exchange rate and count your money). Enjoyed this lovely colonial town. From here, I headed on to Leon, Nicaragua, which was interesting. Spent two days here.
Continued on to San Juan del Sur on the coast. A nice laid-back town. Swam a bit, and took some Spanish lessons by the hour.
From here, I continued on to Ometepe Island. The boat ride was extremely rough. Loved the relaxed feeling here. From Ometepe Island, returned to Liberia, Costa Rica for an evening and flew back to Vancouver.
