... all forms to fill in, looking for name, age, profession, where we were staying in Managua (some dodgy hostel please), how long we were staying for etc etc. He then collected those forms along with our passports and a couple of dollars each. We got to the border and everyone had to get on and sign a kind of register, completely pointless. Again we were accosted by locals trying to sell their wares and also by beggars. It ...

... turned out a bit of a disappointment. The martket was on so half the streets in the old centre were closed or very restricted. <br>There was a street nicely done, running three quarters of the way to the lake (Nicaragua) but then it stops athe slum area, a no go area after 17:00!<br>Did a bit on the blog, emails and a bit of ...

... trotter is dit de strengste grensovergang van midden Amerika.....dat klopte dus ook. De bus werd doorzocht, de paspoorten werden nagekeken, enkele passagiers uit Chili, Peru en Brazilie moesten van boord voor een bagage check. We waren benieuwd of we problemen zouden krijgen om het feit dat we geen stempels van de vorige grensovergang gehad hadden....maar er was niets aan de hand. We werden vriendelijk aangesproken...en er was zelfs humor.....we komen tenslotte ...

... of all of the diseases that are so easily spread. The person/ our "guide" said that HIV/AIDS is a huge problem down here, and now I know why.

Eduardo then looked at me and said &#8220;mija this is why our culture is so prosperous, we take nothing for granted and even the smallest or un-assuming of ...

... so we heading there. Its quite and amusing night from the waiter who is very scarely and can´t understand a word we say even though we asking for a small beer. to the cruise ship style caberet and traditional dancing. Becca has set her heart on a hamac so we start to ask around for those. Off to bed as tommorrow we are up earlyish to go up volcano masaya, Its probably another steaming whole but we need to do some excersise to get the blood ...

... All was going well until Chad noticed that the pork rind had hair and we realized that it was literally pig skin...not the best choice we've ever made. However, all in all the city was a blast, with good food and drink, and an excellent atmosphere with restaurant tables lining the streets In the evening. It was obvious to us, as we walked past emaciated horses and injured trash eating dogs, and then glanced into the ...

Our way back from the islands was quicker and less unpleasant. We caught an overnight ferry back to Bluefields - an interesting experience in itself , sleeping on the floor to save $2.50 for a bed, getting stepped on and sharing my backpack/pillow with 2 locals in exchange for sweets. LOL. And the rest of the route to Managua was similar.<br><br>Two things dawned on me as we were about to change buses on the way from Rama to Managua.<br><br>1) I´d lost my ticket. I would probably have to pay ...
