Saludos de Matagalpa!
In Esteli I ran into an English girl that I had met on Isla de Ometepe. The night before she ran out with a French guy to purchase some cigarettes and they were robbed by 8 guys, one of which had a knife. I´m not sure what she was thinking by going out at night with her iPad and camera, especially for just a quick run to a store. She doesn´t speak Spanish so she asked me to go to ...
Bienvenidos en la Casa Verde
... après une bonne demi-heure de jungle et de route inégale - nous devons même descendre de la voiture sur une centaine de mètres trop glissants -, la Casa Verde (ou Grande, selon les cas) se dévoile. Sur trois ou quatre étages perdus dans les arbres, on est en droit de se demander ce qu'elle fait là. Rien à voir avec les habitations du coin qui, de manière générale, sont plus un amas de bois et de tôle. Et de rentrer à l'intérieur, souvenir d'un luxe passé, murs décrépis, parquets ...

La Buena Onda is a hostel, breakfast included, close to the cathedral and really clean and spacious. They had a nice common area ...
Toch naar het noorden, Matagalpa in de hooglanden
... handmatig steeds twee stuks bagage naar binnen. De bagage wordt pas overhandigd wanneer ik een kaartje met nummer kan laten zien, dat ook op het kaartje staat dat aan de bagage hangt. Gelukkig heb ik niet alle paparassen die ik inmiddels heb verzameld, weggegooid.
Buiten ga ik op zoek naar een taxi die mij naar busstation Mayoreo kan brengen, want vandaaruit vertrekken de bussen naar Matagalpa in het noorden. Voor de deur van het vliegveld is het tarief ...
