San Juan's festival and other stories
We drove through the mountains to Puerto Colombia, a little fishing town, I was told the trip was very nice - I did not enjoy it myself as I got very very dizzy. The road was worse than Patra - Yiannena. We stayed in a very nice posada (like B&B), and ...

Day two: Masaya volcano and Masaya
Monday we had a leisurely start of 9am, and then headed up to the Masaya volcano. It was about a half hour drive north of Granada… in the rain. Yes, the rain had come but it wasn't too hard and in fact it died away about 10.30am. We drove up to ...
First day for us at the Cricket
