Well, although there´s not much here, I`m quite sad to leave this place. The hotel staff are all really friendly. I`m pretty sure that we`re the only guests left here. Also the island is full of wildlife, monkeys etc. Arriving at the port the bus passed by the model of the island. Which looks in a sorry state, a bit like the rest of the place. It`s about 1 hour to the other side and there are no buses to the bus station in Rivas. Our taxi driver had a few problems with taking us to the bus station and wanted to take us all the way to San juan del sur. Buses to taxi drivers are the work of the Devil and you need to avoid them at all costs. The price came down from c200 to c180 and then to c150. We were still insistent that we just wanted to go to the bus station. 5 minute later we stopped, there was a distinct lack of buses. The driver walks to another taxi and comes back. There`s another driver who will do c40 each to San Juan del sur. This was over the odds for a colectivo but we didn´t know where we were nor if the guy was going to take us to the station. The taxi ride turned out to be more dangerous than climbing the active volcano!
