Day 7-8: Ometempe

The next morning the ants were gone so we decided that we would stick around for 2 more nights.

We wanted to go swimming but the water in the lake was at record high levels so all the beaches were under water so we took the bus to Ojo de Aqua - a natural pool that is fed by underground mineral springs. A beautiful and refreshing place to swim. Entry is $2 and there is a snack bar by the pool. It seemed to be an even mixture of tourists and locals in the water and lounging about. The buses are pretty infrequent so we hitched a ride to Playa Santo Domingo and had lunch at Villa Paraiso before walking back to Little Morgans.

Ojos de Agua

That night was pretty raucous - with a group of 9 Australians staying in the hostel along with various other guests. Lots of alcohol, music, pool, and good times and crazyness followed. We were up until about midnight before heading back to our room to pass out.

Crazy Morgan

The next day we wanted to try to check out the waterfall on the other side of Maderas but we missed the bus so we walked all the way (90 minutes) to Ojo De Aqua to swim again.

Our last night at Little Morgan's was pretty mellow compared to the previous night. The Australians had moved on to SJDS along with their debauchery.
