Big Corn Island

We had 1 day on Big corn island. We lived through the crazy panga (boat taxi) ride back from Little corn island, We had heard stories about the boat rides to and from the islands and we were "lucky" enough to have gotten to experience the trip that people had told us about. Basically is was a boat that was overloaded by 20+ people. With huge rolling waves and a boat motor that seemed to be struggling. Not great!! 

I was lucky enough to be sitting right behind Dean. He took the brunt of the water that splashed over the whole boat for the 45 minute trip. All our bags were stored in the dry storage in the back. So at least we didn't have to worry about all our stuff getting wet. I kept reminding myself that they do this trip every day and they knew what they were doing (other than overloading the boat). 

When we arrived on the island, we settled into our room. Took a look around our hotel and noticed they had bikes. We hopped on and started to explore. There is a road that goes around most of the island. We started in one direction and rode up and down rolling hills along the shoreline road. It was a fun way to experience this new island. We found some beautiful beaches and a little fruit stand where we bought some little apple bananas. Very sweet yummy bananas.

                             The water in Feb is usually very flat. It was windy and wavy this year.

               Casa Canada hotel infinity pool. We didn't have time to swim in it, but it looked very pretty.
