our day today was kinda non eventful. we got up at 530 this morning and after lots of buses, taxis, and a ferry we made it here by 1230. everything on this island is really far away to do though so we just wandered around lost for the afternoon haha. we tried to follow directions to the beach that was supposed to be 15 mins away but after an hour of walking we figured we had gone too far. we were also out of water by that time so when we did finally find the beach we didn´t want to stay- we had a new mission: find more water!! took probably another half hour at least of walking around to many different pulperias before we found one with water. and then we walked all the way back to the beach again. the beach wasn´t even that nice, very small shore area that was dirty, the water smelled like bad fish, and the local kids threw mangoes at us the whole time. and they hurt! so we only stayed about 10 mins there haha.
i talked to some american who has been living in nicaragua for 5 years and he told us where to get the best pizza so we did that. and one guy (Michel) we had met at the hostel yesterday told us we HAD to go to this place that sells the best chocolate cake in the whole world. we did that first thing and let me tell you he wasn´t lying!!! it was literally the best chocolate cake i´ve ever had! apparently this guy has tried to buy the recipe before though and the american guy that runs the cafe won´t sell it. darn.
our hostel tonight is not as nice as the other one, the beds are a lot harder and a little more run down. but it´s only 3.75 a night! and super super hippie. this super old couple runs it and the old man has the longest dreads ever!!! his wife is still super hippie looking even with her long gray hair in braids too haha. apparently it´s the hostel that most of the young crowd goes to cause we were wandering around looking for it and some guy was like you want the hostel central? so he showed us how to get there.
not sure yet the plan of what we´re gonna do tomorrow. we´ll try to meet people at the hostel tonight and see what they suggest. the people are all pretty friendly. except there´s a random duck that lives there that wanders around biting peoples´legs and a deer as well that just walks around. haha funny things the stuff you see down here.
