Granada in NIC is very much like Antigua in Guatemala. its smaller though, has a historic center , some nightlife, good restaurants and cafe places. there is a volcano nearby as well. "Bearded monkey" hostel was a nice place to stay. I did not spend time in Managua, the capital de Nicaragua . However found an auto-gas station LPG-gas just out of …

Six days in and around Granada

Today is wednesday and we have been here in Granada since friday.
Granada is an old colonial city with beautiful arcitecture. It's in fact hard to find a building that isn´t pretty here. The ceilings of the old houses are extremly high, and so are the front doors. The outside of the houses are all painted in pretty colours, bright pink, purple …

Granada here I come! Of course another couple of busses, but nothing compared to my Salvador - Nicaragua trip. Just a quick view on the city, and Granada appears definitely must wealthier than Leon with loads of colours and beautiful colonial buildings. I get to this Bearded Monkey hostel which had been recommended to me, and I'm happy about my …

Ou comment je suis passée d'un bastion sandiniste, pays de petits paysans, en bus du peuple (et avec des vrais chickens dans le bus cette fois) à l'élite Nicaragüense, libérale, qui roule en 4x4.

24h en Amérique Centrale. Un vrai shot d'inégalités.
Entre Managua et Granada, j'ai passé deux jours avec Javier, un ami nica (nica = …

Civilization

A travel blog entry by blackpearl8

Didn't feel so enthusiastic about taking a painful (literally) 3 hour bus ride on something they call a road to a 2 hour ferry to a taxi to a bus and back to a taxi, so I just cut out a few things. I took a private boat transfer to a taxi ( first class..but in Nicaragua I can afford to be). I arrived into Granada around noon, dropped my stuff off …

    AVOID AT ALL COSTS

    Not even an explanation of where the bathroom is when I check in..Oh, am I taking up too much of your texting time by asking for a bedsheet.. The staff is incredibly rude and indifferent, even ignoring you at some points. The rooms are stifling hot, I saw some guys outside the rooms in the courtyard sleeping on the tile because they couldnt stand it. Avoid this place, book a room in the Oasis for $1 or $2 more. Nadine, the host during the morning, is the one saving grace of this place. She smiles, she says hello, she's very nice. Nice goes a LONG way, folks! Thanks Nadine!

    Friendly staff and nice layout

    The bar staff and most of the reception staff were friendly and helpful (with the exception of the female receptionist who had an attitude problem). I stayed in a dorm in the hidden monkey, which was much quieter. The only problem with the room was the lack of keys (6 bed dorm) and the fact that you couldn't lock the door from the inside unless everyone was in, otherwise you would lock people out. The bar area was a great place to hang out and I met lots of great people here. The food's not bad either and they have happy hour each night. There's also free wifi.
