Well, and isn't this a fabulous place to be spending our last couple of days in Nicaragua?
After a day in Masaya to visit the volcano and do a bit of shopping at the market, we bused down to the bottom of this crater to the Paradiso Private Hostel. The name is justified because it is a little slice of paradise for sure! Hot sun, a stiff breeze, shady places, and wonderful, warm water to swim in... who could ask for more?

Such a relaxing spot! Use of kayaks was included in the price of the dorm so we went out a couple of times. It was in no way easy going. The wind is fierce and I, for one, felt like I could paddle all day and never make a bit of progress. Eileen is a strong paddler and was often far ahead of me. I must say, though, that it was fun to be riding the waves! We managed to get out the second time just after sunrise when the wind was not yet up and got ourselves halfway across the lake before having to turn back.

Ahh... such sorrow to have to leave! Met a fellow Canadian, Jeremy, from Ontario who offered to drive us in his rented truck to Managua. What a treat! No buses or taxis to have to figure out. Jeremy first took us back to the market in Masaya so we could pick up a few things then it was on to Managua to drop in on Birmania and Brian for a short visit.
