Have had enough of tours - off to Nicaragua

Costa Rica is very beautiful but very touristy. Many US-Americans spend their vacation there. All over the place you can book tours. While it's sometimes convenient to just book a tour, relax, and follow the guide, it has been annoying us rather a lot the last few days that it is sometimes difficult to do anything independently, by yourself, without booking a tour. Even public Tourist Information offices sometimes refuse to give advise about how to get somewhere on your own.

Because these tours are starting to weigh a little bit on our budget, we decided to leave Costa Rica behind us, and move on to Nicaragua. We are now on the island of Ometepe, which consists of 2 volcanoes joined together, in the middle of enormous Lago Nicaragua. We will probably hang around here for a few days, and take in the laid-back atmosphere of this beautiful island.
