After a long bus ride from Guate I got into Managua on the 28th and only stayed a night after I was unsatisfied simmilarly to the way I was in Guate. Managua was hit by a huge earthwake a while ago (lets say at least 50 years ago, i think) and thus has no central plaza area. The guidebook described iit as being spread out and full of shopping ma...

Wir hatten beschlossen durch Honduras und El Salvador durchzufahren, um uns**e Reise in Nicaragua fortzusetzen. Es gibt in Zentralam**ika v**schiedene Moeglichkeiten von einem Land ins and**e zu kommen. Entwed** man nimmt die lokalen Busse, die guenstig, ab** langsam und ziemlich unbequem sind, od** man fah**t mit dem Tica Bus od** einem and**en...

Well, I screwed up.While sitting in an internet cafe and skyping my friends, i managed to leave the place and leave my camera hanging on the arm of the chair. By the time I realized my mistake, The place was closed. When I returned , the Camera and the young man that ran the place the night before was both gone. Calls to the owner, eventually go...

Turns out that what I had thought was tastefully draped decorative material hanging from the ceiling of my otherwise cell-like bedroom at Bigfoot was actually there to disguise the fact that the walls don't meet the roof. I realised this at 5.30 this morning when the cockerels who live next door behind the comedor (very cheap basic restaurant) s...

Have you ever thought "Wow! Those radio jingles where they sing the name of the radio station are great, why donīt TV channels have them?" No? Well the people at Nicaraguan channel Canal 10 have. But you then come along with the problem that those are just sounds, a bit of a waste on TV. Thatīs when you get hot dancers to do a dance at the same ...

Well, it took an exhausting 22 hours of travelling from leaving hannahs house to arriving at my hostel in managua. Straight to bed at 10pm local time. Met a couple of nice english people in the hostel who made me really look forward to leon. Managua was a dump, overcrowded and empty at the same time. Itīs hard to describe. Thereīs no centre of t...

Spent a couple of days in Leon , a colonial town in the West of Nicaragua which is renowned mainly for its churches and being a key centre of the fighting in the Sandinista revolution thirty years ago. So I did a personal walking tour on Saturday around the town and itīs various colonial churches, of which there are many. I also visited the litt...

Already this has been a fun, unpredictable kind of week. Susannah got here on Saturday, and after seeing the Mercado Oriental (an absolutely amazing site!) and the monuments in Managua, we headed back to Ciudad Sandino for a quick tour. On Sunday we went to Leon, a touristy, colonial town in northwestern Nicaragua. We were given a city tour by a...

For four weeks Iīve enjoyed this country. The people being friendly and the weather perfect. Then it hit me all at once. The kids in the streets of Leon constantly asking for money. Okay. Then the kids I give fruit to everyday, one banana isnīt enough, then a banana and an orange isnīt enough, then presents. Iīm not so sure IĻm not being used he...

This morning i missed the first hour of classes due to stomach problems. I was going to skip the whole 4 hour session to rest, but i just couldnīt stand the thought of how dejected my teacher would be. When i got there he was hanging his head with a lesson plan all laid out on the table so i was glad i made it. We talked alot about his radio sho...
