Lake Nicaragua, or Lake Cocibolca, is vast. So vast in fact that the conquistadors named it El Mar Dulce (Sea of Fresh Water). Its largest island is the twin volcanoed Ometepe (see blog entry March), it was however to Omeptepe’s smaller sister Isla Zapatera that I went to this weekend.
I stayed in a small cooperative named Sozampote, a small group of 20 families who settled on the island some years ago, displaced from northern Nicaragua during the war.
With pretty much nothing to do except look at the most amazing view it was a perfect dose of tranquilo and a great escape from the bustle of the city.
I left this morning on the 5am boat and whist awaking from a doze to see the sun rising from the lakes waves Iit made me appreciate so much this life I am living and how lucky I am to be having experiences such as these.
