Travel day from Monteverde to Ometepe

We had an early morning departure time of 6am. There were Macaw birds in the trees at one of our coffee stops. We traveled to the border crossing into Nicaragua which took a little bit of time but we made it through. After another bus ride we arrived at the boat terminal and enjoyed a few beers whilst waiting for the boat. We traveled to Ometepe Island which is in the middle of a lake and has two volcanoes. We had a few drinks while we watched the sunset on the island. We met the family who we were were staying with for our home stay, Walter and his wife, who made us yummy chicken, rice and beans for dinner.
