Volcano Lake near Granada, Nicaragua

Monday, we drove out to the shores of Lake Nicaragua near the colonial town of Granada. We contracted with a fisherman to boat us out to an nearby island restaurant for lunch. It was in faith that he would return at 1:15pm after dropping us off on this 1 1/2 acre island restaurant.

All along the shore line are these tropical islands that are only big enough for a large tree, a hut, boat dock and out house. There are over 365 tiny islands along this shore line that have nice homes in the range of nice to modest all the way to a "lean to". One small island had a 6 room school house. Imagine taking a boat to school instead of a yellow school bus?

Next we drove back toward Managua, stopping off a crater lake (Laguno de Apoya). Crystal Clear Blue deep water. We stopped at a resort and took a tour of the facilities. Very nice.
