Cuba Libre
We got up around 8:30 and had scrambled eggs and stale bread. At least the coffee was great. There was a little thatch roof near the lake and we sat in the shade of that for a while reading. Alaine decided to walk into town and get something to mix with our rum. She couldn’t find any tonic water nor even anyone who knew what it was. Also club soda was nowhere to be found, nor even limes. She bought a 1.5 liter coke and the hotel had limes and ice so we were able to make Cuba Libres. We took a short walk on the beach but most of the time we stayed in our little place and read. We did do a little homework: reading the Spanish translation of Harry Potter to each other.
We had fresh fish from the lake for dinner and it was great. We hung around after dinner and chatted with some Dutch people who had been doing some kind of environmental work in Nicaragua and were taking a couple days to relax before returning home.
