Last Day on Ometepe

Our last full day on Ometepe was lots of fun. Guillermo took us on the 7:30am bus (another early morning, but not as early as 4:30am when we hiked the volcano!). The petroglyphs were spread out on a property that was part cirtrus orchard, ranch and hotel cabanas. We had the typical breakfast of Pinto Gallo and Huevos (Rice and beans mixed together on the side with eggs). We walked around the property and Guillermo told us what each rock carving meant. I think the indigenous people migrated from Mexico and were called the Churortega, don´t quote me on that. I tried to google some of the history so I could get the spelling, but all I found were travel guides. Anyways, some of these petroglyphs were 4000 years old! After taking a detour to the beach, we caught another bus and went to Ojo de Agua (Eye of the Water) which is a pool built in then mountails that´s fed by a natural stream. We met up with one of Guillermo´s friends, Jiro, and had tons of fun splashing around. We got home in the early afternoon and just chilled for the rest of the evening.

We left Ometepe today and have arrived in San Juan del Sur, a touristy surfer beach town on the south west coast of Nicaragua. We´re off to buy surf boards and hit the beach!
