Okay, so I go to Nicaragua in a week. Holy shit. Reading up on it, I’m not especially concerned. Sure, their gorverrment will once again be run by Daniel Ortega (albeit in a Democractic fashion - we hope). But they have a fucking volcano everywhere you look, and jungle. In particular, there’s an island in the middle of this lake. An enormous lake, and the island (called Omatepe) is comprised of not one, but two volcanoes. Holy crap. Reading the US State Department’s website about Nicaragua, this is the most alarming part of the nation’s description:
In particular, there have been instances of hikers perishing or getting lost on the volcanoes at Ometepe Island. While they may look like easy climbs, the terrain is treacherous and heavily overgrown.
Awesome. I suppose I should just watch out for polar bears, eerie black smoke, and the others.
