Sept 3, 2008 I packed up my laundry that was still wet even though I had relocated it out of the rain the day before (minus my underwear which I hooked directly on our ceiling fan overnight which dried in no time). We then left for Granada, the oldest city in the Americas, stopping at an active volcano along the way. We had to wear gas masks at the top and even then the harsh gasses were quite painful to breathe. Some of the group hiked to a bat cave so it was even more difficult for them to ...

Granada is a colonial city located in the northern shores of the Lago de Nicaragua.
As in all colonial cities, there are several churches, a central park and a main avenue where most of the restaurants and hotels are located. It reminds me of Antigua Guatemala.
The city of Granada is very well distributed, at least in the downtown. All the banks are located in one point, markets and supermarkets located in another part of the city, so it is very easy lo find what one needs.
We woke up early and looked for a place to have our breakfast. We went to a place near the church (will get the name later). It is awesome! it's owned by a German guy. They serve the typical Nicaraguan breakfasts which is what we wanted to try and offer free coffee too! The coffee was so good we had to ask what brand was it and he even told us where to buy it. I still have some at home. After eating we had to wait about 30 mins to be able to move...
We walked around the streets, gettin...
Today we tried another place for breakfast, but doesn't compare to the one yesterday.... we regret not repeating the place...
After hanging around the town, we went to the peer to see the lake. Very impressive lake. The tide was high and the day was windy so it would be difficult to kayak. We ended up getting a lake tour around the islets. Too bad that due to the tide we couldn't go to the Ometepe island.
The lake looks good, too bad is so full of houses. In one of hte islets ...
We woke nice and early to travel to Ometepe Island. We had two choice, take the large and slow ferry from Granada or take a chicken bus to San Jorge and catch a faster launch or fairy. We chose the chicken bus/San Jorge route and our travel karma was still with us. We walked from our Granada hotel to where we thought the bus station was but it wasn't there, fortunately one of the bus touts soon found us and assumed we were heading to Rivas and took us to the bus. we clambered on board the bus...

... courtyards that every house seems to possess. That’s my favorite part of the city I think, the indoor/outdoor living. Most houses, and hotels and guesthouses, contain a private outdoor courtyard that the rest of the house (or guesthouse) is centered around. Instead of front and back yards, each place has their own little yard within the house. The result is a private hideaway feeling that combines nature with everyday living. <br> We stayed at Hospedaje Valeria, an eight ...

... this isnt traveling season. So there should be room they said. Riiiiiiight.<br><br>My gut had been telling me to buy tickets early. I should have listened...Oh well.<br><br>We knew of another station called TransNica, so we caught a taxi there. <br><br>Now, Tica Bus is very professional, nicely lit with a small cafe with a cook. And it's very clean. Its a nice building and can be seen from 3 blocks away.<br><br>TransNica is a different story ...

We took a trip up to Laguna de Apoya which is a volcanic crater lake. All this talk about volcanoes! It was such a relief to be able to swim after the dry and dusty heat in Nicaragua. We spent one more night in Granada and it is a beautiful town but the mood of our last night was dampened when we were harrassed by the beggar kids while ...

... quiet impressive at 43metres high! We knew we would not get to the capital before dark as we still had 200km to go, so we camped in the van at a brewery serving real ale! We were astounded! So after a hideous nights sleep we continued the drive to the capital, where we decided to alter our path a little, and John decided to stay one more night, and so we went south instead of east to a nice little town called Choluteca. There was not a huge deal ...

... a raw live fish, and a few other completely unneccassary activities that people constantly ask me about after watching the discovery channel, macro shot of my blue eye with a blue bearded dragons face, a few wierd meals cooked over the fire with a combo of rice, fish, pinapple, and carrots, also hitchhiking adventures with nicaraguan army hombres, a bunch of random short term travel companions and the normal self portaits that keep ...
