“Good place to experience 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.

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 …

... a list with the ingredients we would need to buy and asked us how are Spanish is? We both laughed and I said "ah not the best, sometimes we are able to communicate what we are trying to say or ask and sometimes we get weird looks!" He chuckled and said, "great, that will make this that much more fun!" So list in hand we started asking the ladies at each stand for different things, sometimes I knew what we were asking for and sometimes had no idea and most ...

... Apparently those are the only things you need to know before you descend! I was shaking in my boots, literally, thinking what the heck are we doing!! Oh and they have a speed gun at the bottom just to intice you to try to go as fast as you can down this black volcano. We were given googles, and a set of coveralls full of holes that looked like an old mechanic suit, and why were there so many holes in them you ask, well that would be from all the people wiping out ...
