Hotel La Posada del Doctor Leon

... kommen um augeschlafen zu sein fu** uns**e Tour heute.
Um acht wurden wir vor dem Hostel abgeholt. Ein Mann und eine Frau, Chauffeur und Guide, brachten uns zunaechst zur Agentur, wo wir bezahlten und dann raus zum C**ro Negro. Die Fahrt war spannend, zweimal glaubte ich gleich ueb** ein Huhn zu fahren, einen Jungen sah ich unt** dem Auto liegen und div**se and**e Ti**e und Menschen brauchten auch einen anstaendigen Sprung zur Seite um nicht einfach ...

... zwei Wochen, wird ich sicher noch einiges lernen.
Die Stadt jedenfalls gefaellt mir auch super, zumindest den kleinen Teil, den ich bis jetzt gesehen habe. Eine bunte Kleinstadt mit viel Leben auf der Strasse. Nie so unruhig wie Managua mir vom ersten Moment an erschien. Man kann ohne weiteres allein durch die Strassen gehen, die Burschen sehen dich mit offenem Mund an, rufen dir vielleicht auch mal chela nach oder fotografieren dich. Aber niemand kommt dir nahe oder vermittelt ...

... Bar dazwischen war) und zwar nicht wie ich befu**chtet hatte unt** den Insulan**n sond**n am Wass**. Es war naemlich ein Boot aufgetaucht, das den Hubschraub** sozusagen **st mitgebracht hatte. So aehnlich wie Fische mit Booten mitziehen od** so. Jedenfalls entledigte sich das Boot in d** Bucht vor dem Hotel sein** Ladung. Und das war nichts and**es als Kokain - und zwar in nicht ganz kleinen, vielmehr in v**dammt grossen Mengen. Die rennenden locals, die mich so ...

... people. We then headed into leon and wander around the city getting some stuff for our bbq like 2 big bottles of rum! We had a great day in the city and met some interesting friends of Johns. We headed back to get ready for our bbq night.

John had invited some of his Nica friends to come over and we all enjoyed some fine food that john had the lodge cook for us and some nice drinks and good converstation it really was a fun night. Then we had a few games of cards and i ...

... were several
communities of houses built with sticks and plastic bags as walls. Our
guide told us that these families made their money by cutting down wood
in the national park and selling it in Leon. He wasn´t sure whether it
was illegal or not. Regardless, it looked like a really tough life.

Compared to other vplcanoes we´ve seen, Cerro Negro was pretty tiny.
But it still looked really cool because the entire surface was black
volcanic rock, as opposed to other ...

... of their war, and his part in it, in a very interesting way. The museum here was quite small (two rooms with newspaper clippings and photos on the wall) and had just a few examples of the limited millitary equipment that the guerillas had available for fighting. At the end of the tour, we went up to the roof, where the guide brought up a small bomb and a bomb launcher. John and I each had a chance to shoot our bomb up into ...

... first night Al and I met Greg, a guy from New York travelling through Nicaragua for a few weeks. He was watching the Red Sox v Yankees baseball game and offered to teach us the rules and how the game goes. We really enjoyed it although sitting here now I wouldnt be able to tell you the rules, but the next thing we knew it was pushing 9.30 pm and we hadnt eaten yet! Greg was pleased the Yankees beat the Red Sox and we went off to forgage for food. We met up with Jules ...

... Boris, to go see my property. I really want to hit the surf
but I need to wait for Boris. Booms, the local break, is going off at
4.5ft. and it's an amazing site. Hotel Chancletas is a hotel geared
towards surfers. It's a hostel style hotel with a bar/restaurant and a
really cool vibe. Owner, Shay O'brien, really did a great job ...

... too sad to go home. Strange, but, no matter the length of your trip, I think you always mentally prepare yourself. If it's two weeks, you're ready to go home after two weeks. If it's two months, you're ready then.

Even though I didn't "see" too much of Leon, I really liked the vibe. Kind of reminded me of Xela. At first when you get there, you think-- this place blows! But the vibe is there and you end up really digging it. I think I most appreciated the street life. There ...
