After a very long 22 hour journey we finally arrived in our first hostel in Granada - Nicaragua, all very tired and ready for bed as it was around 5 in the morning English time, so some struggled to get used to the timings, but we are all pretty much used to it now. after having a quick breakfast at a cafe the food people went for a shop and when they returned we walked to get the local bus to the port where we caught a ferry to Ometepe Island, where I am currently writing this from.
Yesterday we were up bright and early to get our bus to La Cascada, which is a waterfall on the side of the inactive vocano on the island. It was around a 4 hour walk up and down overall, and when we got to the top, although it was raining it was a beautiful sight, and we had a quick lunch before going back down again. it was a good first expierence for a hardish walk and i think we have all learnt that walking boots are a definate necessity.
Off to the first project tomorrow and we are starting to round up our design group to start thinking about the building of the playgroud.
Much love to all the families, and will try to blog soon.
