The thing to do apparently. Probably make it there say 2 pm. Enough time to scope the place and get a decent hostel before dark.
Interesting note - reaccuring through the last century is a the idea of the Nicaraguan canal. From Ometepe which is a island in Lake Nicaragua u can see the pacific not far away, and lake is connected to the Caribien through the San Juan River on the other side. Wikipedia says the canal was instead built in Panama to quell any competition there.
.. arrived in ometepe around 3 or so. Met a pair on the bus and split a taxi from Rivas to San Jorge where you can catch a ferry over to the Island. Met a guy named Gerald who' presently living in NYC an down for a 9 day holiday. Ended up walking the small town of Moyogalpa looking for hostels together and eventually all settle on the same joint which seemed to have the best deal.
Afterwards we directly booked our trip to hike Conception Volcano for the next morning. The trek being a solid 8 hours of hiking, we were set to live the hostel at 5 a.m. Knowing it'll be an easy one we went to find some local nicaraguan cuisiine and settle in for the night.
