... passengers in the back and asked them where we were. We were in Managua, an hour or so from Masaya. The taxi driver said he would take us to the nearest internet cafe so I could cancel my bank card immediately. <br><br>Al was conscious of the fact that we only had 100 cordobas on us and the bus to Masaya would cost 60 cordobas for the both of us. We asked the taxi driver if he would be able to drive us back to Masaya where Alan could get his bank card ...

... Nicaraguan items. After circling the market about 1000 times I finally broke down and bought an awesome hammock (can't wait to hang it up at home!) and a couple other small items.

... C. Sandino, the cool caress of air conditioning greeted me, which was a wonderful welcome, considering that the temperature is about 31 degrees Celsius (87.8F). Before we could proceed to customs, each of the passengers had to have their temperature checked via a heat sensor - now THAT is worthy of applause... when I flew into the U.S., there were no such precautions taken.

... rationally by tossing a coin which would later help with other difficult decisions. I won. La Isla : Take the 6am bus, get to the border around 9 ish and it´s crazy. I´m discombobulated and Daniel takes control. Gooo Dani! We make it to Rivas à San Jorge lancha, not the cool ferry but the vomit-inducing boat, but they did sell fried chicken in a bag with fried plàtanos and chimichurri à Isla de Ometepe in the middle of the Lago ...

... and 'the bronze statue of Simon Bolivar', then walk to 'El Parque Juan Pablo II'. But what attracted us most of all is 'La Catedral Vieja', we find there is something romantic about this old cathedral and we believe that it's the most beautiful church of Managua. Recent tremors have closed this old church, so unfortunately we couldn't visit the interior. <br>We finish up our pedestrian tour at a local bar and drink some Nicaraguan Toña beer and a Coke and then return to the ...
