laguna de apoyo

in order to save money and be a true tourist we caught the chicken bus aka the local bus to the start of the lake road. this bus wasnt too bad, we werent too squished in. worst part was the music they were playing. justin bieber fever has hit here. it was chris, me. eline (a really cool dutch girl) and a guy called robert who we named steve carrell. at the start of the dirt road to the lake there wre 4 taxis waiting. they all know that the local bus doesnt come along very often and its a far walk s they just charge whatever they want. we got the price down a but. the taxi was falling apart and i had a metal thing sticking into my back the whole way oh well it was worth it. we paid 6 usa dollars plus tax whcih half the time they just make up to go to a specific place called the monkey hut on the shore. laguna de apoyo is breathtaking and truly amazing. it is a volcanoe crater lake with clear water that stretches for miles. you can use the hamocks, kayaks and inflatable tubes. was so good to just chill in the water and swim out to the floating dock. steve carrell had to be even more typical and run and dive off a pier even though the water is super shallow. sommersaults into waist deep water. hmm not so bright. although he did tell us later he kayaked out into the middle of the lake and ´dude we like smoked some weed through and apple¨ so maybe that was why he did it. its a beautiful place to be and makes you appreciate the beauty of it. that night we went to a pub quiz at an irish bar. 5 sections, religion, biology, geography, maths and science and identify the aritist. our score got worse with each round although you do get a bonus point if you get the irish questions right.xx
