Holiday moment...

El ferry is bigger, the road is now paved, there are more trucks, cars and trailbikes about, and there is wifi at our hotel... And the island of ometepe is as beautiful as ever, the two volcanoes tantalise by almost, but not quite emerging out of their clouds, the howler monkeys roar and caper in the trees, parrots fly overhead. It is lovely to have a few days holiday. Kate is being robinson crusoe out at salinas grandes and watching the pelicans. We will join her briefly after a quick visit to granada on the way back to leon, then it will be a few days of hectic finishing up: sheets and towel to el barrilete, meeting up with an association which helps families with children with cancer, and another which supports women who need help because of domestic violence. We will just have time to squeeze in a meal with the performers without borders team for this year, and then it will be the big silver bird for us. I do hope it will have stopped raining back in europe...
