Managua Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

Thursday 10th September 09

Wake up call at 4am - not nice - bus didn´t arrive until 530am - not nice at all!!! We slept for the first couple of hours on the bus, early starts are not pleasant. Just after eight we pulled into a garage where we were allowed out to stretch our legs, grab a bit of breakfast, use the toilet, whatever. Then it ...

After a week of being here, I have come up with a couple of questions. This theory of "culture shock," is it really an existing condition, or is it simply a tool used to justify the objection to customs unknown to us? If there is a personal reaction to foreign scenarios, is hostility the result of intolerance or is it simply just the most readil...

Then Graham UK gets a puncture. Not bad though back on the road in 40 minutes, then 3 police road blocks in the next 50 miles. Graham is in unlucky mode and gets scammed by the police for $20 for an alleged oil leak, which is good considering the stat...

Our group is living in a community called Bataola Norte. Some of the students live by themselves with a family, but the majority of us live in pairs. Antonia (from Seattle) and I live together...

Today I arrived in Nicaragua. The country is beautiful and so are the people. The country has so much color, and is very hot. I am so happy and excited to be here and I hope that my travels are good, and that am I able to learn a lot during my time here. Michael, my trip leader, and his wife Ana, are very welcoming, and know so much about this c...

Les vols et le voyage en général s'est passe sans encombre et sans trop de paperasse ni de passages de douane pénibles. Eric est venu nous chercher comme convenu a l'aéroport qui se trouve a une petite demi-heu...
