Semana Santa (Holy week) is almost over and we kicked it off by going to the Corn Island, (Big Corn and Little Corn) for 4 days. Corn Islands are in the Caribbean, about an 1.5 hour flight from Managua. We took a local airline there, and experience laminated boarding passes, paper tickets and luggage tags that were checked before we could take our bags. We spent most of our time on Little Corn, which is so beautiful! It had amazing snorkeling - tons of coral, 3 sharks, 2 stingrays and loads of fish, delicious coconut bread, loads of local fish. This place is special, an untouched paradise. I am glad to have visited it before it becomes more developed. On Big Corn, we did some snorkeling at a ship wreckage, and saw more stingrays and fish. Walked to different beaches and swam in the ocean. It was a great time! (and no sunburns=success)
