First week wonders
El Chaparral is a small village close the borders of Nicaragua and Honduras. Once through Leon we were able to see the mountains and two active volcanoes. Both volcanoes were puffing light smoke. We heard you can slide down the volcano on sleds or snow boards! oad-of-bales.jpg]
We passed through Chinandega and Somotilla before finding our …
Something different this time
We have been asked a few times about the vehicle we are driving on this trip along with its equipment. So what follows is not about where we have been recently but is to provide some info on our Land Rover and the stuff in it.
VEHICLE
Ours is a 2008 Land Rover Defender 110 station wagon, the so called Puma version. It is powered …
Party political capital
Breakfast at the Hotel Dario was never dull and on Friday they took us by surprise by completely changing the system and putting on a buffet. This didn’t work much better as nobody was bothering to clear tables that had been used. We had to clear our own space, get fresh cutlery out of the drawer in the dresser and ask three times for a cup …
Rapport fra Leon - updated
Right now I am sitting outdoors in a rocking chair on the porch of our private little cabana (hytte) in the northern mountains of Nicaragua at an estate called Selva Negra. The sounds of the dry forest surrounds us, including insect whistles and some strange choked up whale-sounds that we think are made by monkeys in the forest. Therese is inside …
Vulcanoes and takketaler
In our first full day in Leon, we went to climb the vulcano Cerro Negro! An amazing experience wonderfully illustrated below ;-) But first, we have some people we would like to thank for our experiences so far:
Vi har lyst til å takke for noen gaver. Det er mange av dere som gav oss overnatting og spanskundervisning i Granada, som har …

A nice hotel with secure parking, wifi, restaurant and comfortable rooms with A/C. At $65 pn fair value although the wifi was a bit up and down. The hotel is well located just far enough away from the city centre to miss the noise but within easy walking distance of restaurants and the great churches in Leon

Hotel Austria is a nice and comfortable place to stay when visiting Leon for a shorter or longer period. The rooms are clean and well kept, and the bathrooms are perfect with rich warm water. Rooms are spacious but unfortunately ours did not have much windows to let in natural light. The service is good, and they speak some english. Guarded parking lot is a big bonus, and the hotel has a nice little patio in one of the corners of its inside garden. Only a block away from the central park, it's easy to get out to experience the city. Which is good because you will need to go out alot since there is no restaurant at the hotel and neither any swimming pool. But all in all we are happy for staying here for three nights in Leon.
