Home to artistic inhabitants, Solentiname is a small island in the huge Lake of Nicaragua.
The mainland was nowhere to see and anyway a long distance away. The worst thing was that it was clear that we were not advancing at all. At one point we hit the waves so hard, that when I landed on my seat I actually broke the back of it, and fell with my back inside the boat. Since there was already a lot of water in the boat, I was soaked instantly. At this moment, I started to be really worried and asked the captain if we could not go back. Instead of this, we took shelter near a nearby uninhabited island. After a little more than half an hour, the weather miraculously improved and we continued our way to San Carlos. This was also not easy, because by that time we had entered night and the lights in San Carlos were out because of the mosquito plague. Although I had been looking forward to it so much, when I could finally step on the quay of the harbour, I was completely covered by mosquitoes. At least, the sweet water sharks in the lake did not have me for dinner that night.
