Kayaking Lake Nicaragua

We were up early this morning to meet our guide outside our hotel. He drove us to the boat landing where there were sit-on kayaks. Unfortunately I didn't feel confident enough in their stability to use my good camera so it stayed in the dry-bag the entire time. It was very quiet and relaxing on the lake and the kayaks cut smoothly across the calm surface of the water. We saw beautiful large flowers blooming on trees hanging over the water, lots of birds (Ringed Kingfisher, Bare-throated Tiger Heron, Green Heron, Northern Jacana, Cormorant, Turkey Vultures, Osprey, White-ringed Flycatcher, Great-tailed Grackle, and White-throated Magpie-jay), and two types of water lilies.

Tomorrow we get picked up at 4:30am to go to the airport for our flight home. It's been a wonderful vacation but both Devin and I are ready to head back home.
