Today we arrived in Ometepe, an island in the middle of Lake Nicaragua, which is formed of two volcanoes called Concepcion and Maderas, which is fairly unusual as it is the largest volcanic island in a freshwater lake in the world.

Day 9: Granada, Nicaragua
Today was another day of rest, this time allowing us to explore the surroundings of Granada in Nicaragua! And a beautiful town it is, too. However, I did have my first experience of tropical rain.
Day 7-8: Leon and Granada, Nicaragua
Apologies for the lack of post yesterday – last night was, to coin a phrase, very ‘YOLO-style’. However, I am officially in Nicaragua!
Day 6: Roatan, Bay Islands
I can’t believe that this is my last day in paradise. It’s gone far too quickly; I never want to leave! I’ll have to start with the bad news though – the evening following my last blog post ended pretty badly.
Day 5: Roatan, Bay Islands
So today was my very first day in paradise, and I can assure you that I certainly have not been disappointed.
Day 4: Roatan, Bay Islands
Today’s post is just a short one – there’s not a lot for me to say really, as we spent 13 hours travelling today! But I can confirm that I am now in paradise.
Day 3: Copan, Honduras
Today was our first day of proper ‘rest’ and gave us the opportunity to explore the town of Copan a little more.
Day 2: Copan, Honduras
So, today was my first proper day travelling across Central America!
Day 1: Antigua, Guatemala
Here’s my first post to let you all know that I’ve made it! I’m in Guatemala, after three flights, a stupidly early start but luckily very few struggles along the way.
Day 0: Expecting the Unexpected
So tomorrow, I am going to embark on a number of things which I have never done before in my life. I am flying on a plane completely alone (three planes, in fact). I am visiting a region of the world I have never been to before. I am going backpacking!
