tierra cielo vuelo :-) earth sky fly

the green mountain is easy to reach from Nicaragua, but i waited too long at the laundry service and missed the first bus. at the end i stayed one night in las juntas, a small boring village in front of the Mountains... a local shared a taxi with me and showed me a cheap place to stay. once arrived in monte it was easy, a guy from the cheapest and best Backpacker hostel in town caught us directly at the bus station and brought us there. i met the danish guys there and booked my action pack!

the bungee jump was something totally New for me and i went with a couple of young girls up the mountain. at the Main company action station we left everything we didn't needed and went the small trail to the tiny wagon standing on steel ropes. the girls were all before me because they were lighter and they had to change the bungee rope only for me at the end. i waited as brave as i could be and was very exited when finally my turn was coming. they counted down from five and i jumped at three 143 m down in the Valley! wow the view and the pumping adrenalin was so powerful, it was incredible!

the super man zip lining the day after wasn't that adrenalin pushing, but really nice! to see the amazing landscape in a lying position and running on the line with a killer speed let you really feel like Superman! we all enjoyed that and i took some awesome vids with my go pro, yeah! finally came the Tarzan swing and it seemed to be a small extra attraction. it was a jump and swing combination and i was a bit scared to jump down. but once you jump it get your whole budy with a heavy prickling in in your belly. even the other guy who said that he jumps without screaming screamed like a pig in the slaughter house! by the way i met some calm and friendly girls from austria i met again in bocas del torro. perfect action in monteverde, highly recommended!

in Addition i had a funny Party with some beertowers. after 10 nobody is selling cigarettes in monte, so a local took me with on his moto (bike) for a very fast whole village Tour to check out the last possibilities. i was a bit scared but still without cigarettes when we arrived back at the bar and i decided to buy some single and expensive cigs from the street dealer...

the nice middle big City in Nicaraguas north has a good and very local flair. the town seams to be busy and a large part of the center is market. the huge central Park is beautiful with all his old monuments and a lot of horse drawn carriages around.

my hostel was the cheapest i have ever seen, 4 Dollar for a big dorm in colonial style and a nice small garden. the girl from the reception called gris or similar was very friendly and invited me to some potts. we smoked together in the kitchen or her room in the backside of the hostel. she was nice and tried to practice my spanish by speaking but gave up pretty soon.... no hablo espanol....

i met Pedro, zuzanna and Dany again and we went out together with some guys from the hostel. on a cross in the middle of the City we met more and more people we travelled with, like Tina and Louise, Aaron and some guys and the danish guys and we went with about 25 guys to the Kellys bar. there was a really nice Party with a lot of locals! the next day was almost the same with a 6$ rum free Party. i forgot to say that we drank a lot of rum the day before, because Pedro ordered selfmade packages from the bar with a bottle of rum, a Bowle ice and Coke of course and convinced me to drink with them!

one day i went together with two german girls to an amazing place in the huge lake. there was a village consisting of Islands with only one house or restaurant on each we went through with a boat. it was like an area of riches and the gardens were very colorful and impressive! on one of the Islands lives a monkey familiy and we saw the cute mini monkey kids. another day we, some guys from backyard and i stayed a day at a local Lagune. it was OK, but the weather wasn't that optimal, we swam and paddle a bit and went back soon, with 8 men in one taxi, fun :-)

back to nature was for the english girls very dissappointing. it was not what they expected because the village was a bit boring, like some seperated houses and less infrastructure. wasn't easy to find a good place, the recommended hostels were full and we stayed in a only room hostel the first night. chilled around and played some cards. in the middle of the night tom wanted to eat something, we borrowed the Scooter from Pedro and went to the next closed hostel. tom droped the moto on the ground and i decided to be the driver after that. the little Morgans hadn't any food aswell but tom invited me to the promissed beer and we talked with some american girls.

the second day started with a run throug the 'village' and on the Beach. we moved to hostel Santa Cruz, which has the same Name as the village. it was better and after breakfast the englisch girls, Charlie and i considered to rent a Scooter. the only local bike rental had only one cross bike, so Charly made the Shuttle service for us to ojo de agua. ojo de agua was a nice spring with two big pools. i met Dany there and we talked a bit in german, i liked it in that moment. we swam in the clear water and drank a coco loco, thats a coconut with rum and evaporated milk, delicous! in the evening we played cards and Steve showed us funny card Tricks.

the hike on the vulcano maderas wasn't a walk in the Park. we started at our hostel at 7:30 h and hiked up 4 h. it was partly very humid and wet and muddy. we slid through the deep djungle between rocks and trees and sometime it was near by climbing. on the top we had a beautiful view on the lake in the crater. this view is often Misty and you cannot See anything, the guide told us. we went happy back and the guide said that we can go by our own and we did it. sounds easy, but it wasn't because we didn't find the way back. surprisingly we went through some farms and over cow patures and asked the locals for the way. i stayed one more night and went with the guys from the hike to a very alternativ hostel with big fresh pizza. a girl told us about her how to change the world project far in the future....

casa del olas was a quiet nice hostel in the mountains, but full. despite all efforts to reservate a bed in a dorm they hadn't any place for, and the cool guy from said only, first come first in, que bien. the next hostel was the naked Tiger and they offered us the couches in the lobby for 5 a night, we took them and stayed there three or four days. the hostel was OK with a small pool and beautiful sea view!

the first night we went into the City with the shuttle and met the mexican guys and camilla in mama pacha, right tom? that was the Party hostel inside the town. we had a cool night with some beers. i met a spanish girl really wanted to smoke weed like me and we went on the street to buy a tried leaf had nothing to do with weed, shit happens! the next day wasn't mine, i was in bad mood and hadn't fun untill i was back in the hostel and started flunky ball with some englisch guys. english people are perfekt flunky players, drinking animals. the danish guys were a bit more careful with that obviously hard drinking game and only Jakob played. over the rounds we convinced some other players, like some Israeli guys. we played 8 rounds and my Team was very succesful, maybe a bit too much for my day of... Jakob passed out in the last round because he couldn't stand anymore...

sunday funday was the only reason we have been in San Juan! we found out it is a pretty good reason! i went to Pacha mama to meet the others lived there and we took the Shuttle to the Pelikan Ressort. that was most perfect part of the hole day. a big Hotel with a great poolarea. it was the biggest and best pool Party i've ever been. we jumped around and played a long time in the pool surounded by loud Club music and accompanied by rum Coke! absolutly awesome, we had so much fun. the next stop was our hostel and they had prepared a big BBQ there. the last stop was the pacha mama, but there it turned to a very normal Party, because too much people passed out by their intoxication. a great hole day Party!

tom and i travelled together to Leon. it was quiet horrible after the good night we had before... i slept 40 min before i packed my stuff in 5 min and ran to the habour. tom did the same without Sleep and seperated from me, so we met at the habour and did the 2 h boat ride without puking! after another 10 h bus ride we arrived finally in Leon and i was very sleepy. the mexican guys welcome us or me and asked me to come with to a local place. i tried to catch them after they had left, but vain and went home to Sleep!

the Lava challenge contained only 3 shots, but it is hard discussed. i needed hours to get Toms agreement and we did it, for the one and only shirt! it was a bit more than disgusting, the shots were hot like tabasco and burned more than twice. tom hated me for persuade him! i have seen some challenges and a lot of crying, yelling and puking, thats one of the hardest ever! that night we went with Shuttle to the hostel own Beach bar and relaxed with cheap rumpunch around the bonfire.

vulcano boarding is not like snowboarding but it is a lot of fun! the boards we sat on where special prepared with a extra slidy plastic part on the backside which is been renewed after every ride Jeremy told us... we went up these fastest growing more or less active black vulcano within 30 minutes and took a lot of fun pictures in our orange Overalls. then the time of going down was coming and we all were very exited. i asked a guy with go pro If he can videoing my ride and he did it. i had to wait a longer time because the girl before me felt down several times. at the beginning i was really slow but it bacames faster and faster over track, tons of small black stones were hitting my mask and my hole Buddy. i did the mistake to open my mouth once, so my mouth was full of dirt when i arrived the end of the track with a speed of 54 km/h. holy crab, what a ride, just a crazy minute to go down! i wasn't the fastest, the fastest had a Speed around 70.

the bus trip from San Pedro to la ceiba was long. we went after our course directly to Antigua, slept one night in a quiet hostel and continued at 4 am in a Shuttle to Hinduras. Josh was wsitting at the local first Class bus Station when we met him, he is a funny guy from Canada. after a nine hour bus ride to la ceiba we were a group of 6 people because we met two other girls Jenny and Nina. we chosed a small hostel next by the habour. the next day in the morning we went with the Ferry to utila.

utila ist a beautiful small Island especially for diver or those ones who wanna become one. the people are speaking english and or spanish. the Island is surounded by cayes and has some small beaches.

a lot of guys welcome me, because the others didn't want to go there, in the underwater vision. tom, the Canadian guys and Chris the becoming dive master i met partly in caye caulker before. it was a little bit a feeling like being home, i love you guys! underwater vision is a really nice combination of a dive center and a hostel with own Dock and beach bar.

i drank some beer with my buddies in the bar tranquila before we went all together to a local football (soccer) game in the small Stadium, it was cool! our next stop was one of the Main challenge bars skid row. we did the challenge what means that we drunk 4 local rum with herbals and did some aktivities between like turning around or running around the pool table. after the challenge we got a "free" shirt. we did the same in another bar called rehab.

in Addition to my more or less New Party experience i did some dives there. a night dive and 4 regular dives, but including the best spot 'northside' we have seen there, at all it wasn't that amazing. standard reefs with less sealife. tom suprised me with a awful Wrestling mask from Mexico under water and we took some funny pics. sometimes i was so bored during the dives that i started to work on my under water 3d skills , like turning , spinning and roling.

i was so happy to have my loved canadians back. we chilled and smoked a lot like i love to do with my buddies in germany. these guys are fucking awesome, i feel so comfi and relaxed surrounded by them. we played a New drinking game with Frisbee and i showed them how to play flunky ball! Bryan loved it, u r a player man!
