Flying through the trees

The photo below was taken by the guide above whilst upside down

Me all rigged up and on my first cable run

Flying upside down...not so elegant, but great fun!

How many more 'Wows' am I going to keep adding? This morning I went 'flying' from tree to tree on the slopes of volcan Mombacho. This was after spending the night in a Biological research station at the top of the volcano. The zip lining was great fun and helped with my small fear of heights. The best was hanging upside down, although each one of the 15 cables was a huge adrenaline rush. It was all over way too quickly and I wanted to do it all again...will wait until Costa Rica though as there are loads of zip line tours there as well.
Yesterday we walked around the craters on top of Mombacho and saw amazing views over Lake Nicaragua. At night, we went in hunt of the nocturnal wildlife, and managed to find slamanders, sloths, amazing leaf insects (the ones that actually look exactly like a leaf), huge crickets, tiny little mice. Luckily we didn't encounter any of the poisonous snakes that live on Mombacho but we also weren't lucky enough to find any frogs.....it was a bit dry for them. Still, can't complain with what was seen. Nicaragua just keeps amazing me with what is on offer..another country to add to that list!
