Granada & Laguna de Apoyo

From Ometepe we arrived in Granada, crawled into our dorm room and legitimately passed out. Sean and I were both feeling super shitty from our stomach bug and a good 20 hours sleep with a short break to shower and put on pyjamas was needed.

We awoke the next day feeling loads better, and headed off to breakfast with Tash and Aimee. We indulged a little at the Garden Cafe, and then proceeded to come here a few times over the next couple of days. Who can say no to a good ice coffee and a chic chip cookie?

That day we had an explore of the town checking out the lake, the buildings and the shops. We also booked a trip for the next day to Laguna de Apoyo, a huge crater lake close to town, inside an inactive volcano.

We left our hostel at 9am and were dropped at the crater lake. We had 5 or so hours to hang out, paddle board, read, kayak and do whatever we wanted. The time flew by and we had an amazing time! We’ll let the pictures do the talking for this part.. it was truly beautiful and one of the nicest places we’ve swum in the past 9 months!

After the day on the lake we headed up to the mirador (view point) looking out over the entire lake. It was breathtaking, and truly worth coming to just for a look!

Next stop is Leon and the famous Volcano boarding at Cerro Negro!
