Isla de Ometepe is a large Island in the middle of a humungous lake most well known for its twin volcanoes. So of course, if there is a volcano, we thought we ought to climb it. Sadly, raging pacific storms played havoc with our plans. The night before our climb, heavy rains caused a 100m landslide/rockfall that made the Island's main road impassable so meant our journey to the start of the hike was a challenge. Then of course, it rained most of the climb. So, after the best part of 3 hours constant uphill slog, we were supposed to arrive at a stunning viewpoint of the active volcano - but no, Covered in cloud!
The rest of our stay on the Island was a bit more cheerful though - we stayed on a quiet beach and enjoyed a respite from the weather for one day so were able to enjoy a relaxing day reading and eating
