Our boat ride on Lake Nicaragua was part of a day trip excursion to Granada. At the dock, our bus of 40 divided up into four boats for a tour of the lake and 365 small islands (some very small). Most are privately owned, some lived on and many used for businesses such as restaurants or eco-lodges. One tiny islet is home to two rescued monkeys - a spider monkey and a capuchin - that had been pets. Our boatman and his brother lived on one of these islands. Many of the residents are fishermen or do other work on the lake. About 1200 people live on the islands; the children who live here attend a school on one of the islands. You can see the Mombacho Volcano across the lake; it is believed that a volcanic eruption thousands of years ago created the islands. The lake cruise among the islets was my favorite part of the day.

We were taken by boat, to one of the islets. We had lunch and then a couple of hours to hang out. So relaxing and beautiful! Could have stayed all day if able. Beautiful scenery, sat and read and listened to the birds, etc.
