Volcano Mombacho,Nicaragua

The food remains well received on the Jim Lawless guided tour.

The highlight of the two days with Jim and friends from the kids point of view was a trip up the volcano near Granada where they do zip line tours. These involve being harnessed to a cable and swinging along 13 lines strung through the tops of the trees to platforms.

Both kids started off cautiously and Romany at first was attached to a guide but they both got more and more fearless. They finally both ended up solo, upside down and sometimes arms out in front in a superman pose. Needless to say the adults were much more circumspect and cautious in their approach. After all one is a long way up at up to 70m.


Thanks Jim, great outings · sorry you had to go back to work. And now the rest of us have to return to a backpackers lifestyle. But it beats working.
