We wanted to spend the remainder of our time in Nicaragua surfing on the Pacific coast. While we were a bit unlucky that the waves were quite small all week, it was still nice to get in the water each day and there was always something to surf on the higher tide.
It was a bit of a strange area where we stayed, no real town just a few tourist resorts ranging quite differently in price from one to another. This seemed to be one place we've been on our trip where the majority of business's are run by foreigners, we definitely would have liked to see more local business's about, but it seems like it must be hard for locals to compete with outsiders wealth which is a real shame.
We did actually meet some really great people where we were staying though and were glad to have such a nice crew to hang out with. Most days were spent surfing, on the beach, or doing yoga at the incredible studio nearby high up on the hill overlooking the ocean. We also did a day trip to the really beautiful nearby town of Granada which was well worth the hour and a half taxi ride.
Unfortunately while surfing one day Mai nose dived and went head first into the sand and has gained a black eye for her troubles. I'm sure everyone will be proud to know that she took it in her stride and wanted to get back out there straight away (she's tough my wife!).
