etaient deja aller et c'est a cote de chez eux. Ils etaient vraiment exiter! Nous aussi d'ailleurs. Surtout quand un singe est monter dans notre bateau. Dure journee de travail quoi!!! Et pour finir, le samedi, nous avont fait un "pinata" party avec les jeunes. Du gateau, du coke et plein de bonbons. J'ai plus ou moins servis de pinata humaine alors que j'ai recu 2 ou 3 coups de batons. Les jeunes etaient hors de controle. De bon souvenirs nous allons garder de cette experience. Le samedi soir, les derniers adieux et le dimanche matin, nous quitions pour Laguna de Appoyo. C'etais tres different de se retrouver avec des touristes a nouveaux... dans un endroit superbe et en vacance. Enfin, superbe ne semble plus approprier maintenant que nous avons vraiment trouver un endroit digne de ce qualificatif. Apres une longue journee de transport local, nous arrivons finalement a Jiquilillo, un petit coin perdu au nord ouest du Nicaragua. Nous habitons dans un petit ranch ecolo sue le bord de la plage... grandiose!!! C'est dur a decrir
e. C'est un de ces endroit ou il faut y etre pour comprendre. Un atmosphere super relax, de la bonne nourriture, des gens vraiment sympatiques et ca continue comme ca!!! Quand ta vie se resume a manger, te baigner, lire et boire... tu te dis que tu en vacances. Nous y sommes rester 4 nuits pour ensuite se rendre a San Juan Del Sur. Pas tout a fait la meme atmosphere! Plein de monde, du bruit, des parties et des hotels sur la montagne ou tu peux boire et te baignes dans des "infinity pools". Le gros luxe! Ca fait du bien des fois. Nous quittons toutefois demain pour le Costa Rica! Bye bye Nicaragua!!! Ce fut tout un plaisir...So here we are now, on a beautiful beach in southern Nicaragua (San Juan Del Sur). Hmmm...where did I last leave off...oh yes, I talked about our rewarding experience volunteering with the amazing Nicaraguan children. Well, we continued our week and at the end, we had a farewell fiesta which involved Maxime basically being a human target while the kids frantically tried to swing at the pinata to get their lollies and caramel candies! It was quite hilarious to watch as these kids narrowly missed Maxime...and unfortunately they sometimes got a little too excited and Maxime got a few swings on his knees and feet. What won't kill ya will only make you stronger! I truly appreciated their warmth and openness and recommend this type of travel to many. It really was an experience to be remembered and cherished forever. It will be repeated again I'm sure! After our work, we headed to a lovely laguna, in the crater of a volcano. Apparently it's really good for the skin, an
d besides that it's very relaxing. From there, back on the chicken buses and off to Jiquilillo, a wonderful fishing village in north western Nicaragua where the beach was vast and practically secluded. We did lots of body surfing in the powerful waves and Maxime even tried a bit of surfing. There weren't too many tourists and we stayed at this eco-friendly ranch where we got to meet lots of wonderful travellers. Was inspired by a 70 year old man who's travelled all over the world, looks like he's 55 and will be climbing Mt.Kilimanjaro with his wife next year! After those peaceful and rejuvenating days...there's something about the ocean that just brings a certain peace into my soul and body like nothing else....we're spending our last few days in Nicaragua in a surfer town and then we're off to Costa Rica tomorrow!sending you lots of sunny hugs and happiness,
Brigitte et Maxime xo
