Camping Matilda

This is like a little Wonderland. It is secluded from the world, hardly any infrastructure. It is located around 15km north east from San Juan del Sur. You need to take a jeep ride which goes through some bumpy roads and then walk around 20 minutes on the beach. When the tide is low there is no problem, but usually after 6 it is hardly impossible to get here. Our camping :called Matilda as well is simply sweet. There are a couple of yellow-painted shuts with red roofs and green doors. Thw owner Antonio created a very pleasant atmoshere: there are many different things glued to the walls: like different kind of fish, mussels, dolphins, butterflies, pelicans, little sculpture frogs stand around, little mashrooms and god knows only what else. There are plenty of plants of different types, huge trees and loads of hammocks hanging around. Also animals are wondering around: 4 dogs (two of them are named after presidential couple of Nicaragua: Daniel I Rosalia), couple of cats, crabs, lizards and there is one (someone called him) crazy shit animal screeming at night and nobody knows how it looks like. There are also plenty of nice places to sit around and chill out. But my favourite is definitely hammock;)))The person who made it up is a genious. The first thing I do in the morning is crawling out of bed and crawling into a hammock to wake slowly up in the overwhelming heat. Life in the tropic is not easy, it is slow but the heat makes you absolutely lazy. You could spend the whole day in hammock just reading and napping in turns. One must get used to being constantly covered in sweat. Coffee helps though and wakes you up for at least two hours. Well anyway it is better then sitting in the office;))))
