Greetings from Granada

Hi all,
Today we travelled about 10 km out of Granada, to Laguna de Apoyo.
This is a volcanic crater lake about 6km in diameter and 175metres deep.
The water was about 23degrees, so you could just stay in it for ages.
We floated around on rubber tyres, swam out to a jetty, and just generally soaked up the amazing place.
The geography of this place is incredible. It is part of the pacific ring of fire.
Today we finally saw a whole volcano, called Mombacho, so yes there are really volcanoes in Nicaragua, and we are basically surrounded by them at present.
It really is a stunning country.
Tomorrow we need to make plans for our next leg, just have to decide what that is.
Friday night, and there's so pretty bad music, blasting through the wall behind my head. Hope it doesn't go for too long!
Hasi is well, and really back to his old self, thank goodness.
Unfortunately his year twelve class didn't do as well in the HSC as he had hoped they would, which wasn't good news for him. I wish his colleague hadn't even emailed him, but of course he needed to know.
Now I really want that music to stop, but it's not even 10pm, so probably no chance of it stopping for quite a while yet.
Hope alls well with everyone,
Lots of love
Zak
