Morgans Rock Hotel San Juan del Sur

... guy, and a couple that we had met originally on the boat to the Corn Islands. After hanging out with them on the islands for several days, we re-met them wandering the streets of San Juan del Sur. Between the five of us, we had four poles hanging off the boat, and after about an hour and a half of chasing birds around (hoping they might know where the fish were -- apparently the fish-tracker on the boat was busted) we eventually got ...

... I got on his bike and headed into San Juan Del Sur for the Saturday night, which was tragic and doesn’t even warrant the two lines I’m taking to write about it. With relief we headed back to the beach on Sunday, James heading off early to get a morning surf in and me slightly later so I could check internet, buy some lunch things to cook for James and me. At Maderas, there is nowhere to buy food or drink especially after 5 pm, which is part of its charm and ...

... We spent the rest of the evening playing cards, watching the most incredible sunset and fighting off mosquitos. We also ate one of the most delicious meals in Nicaragua, fried chicken with rice and beans and fried cheese, all cooked to perfection and for only 40 cordobas each, a bargain! <br><br>Midnight saw us boarding the ferry, struggling to find space to put our things, let along find a place to sleep on the five hour journey. We spent an uncomfortable night sleeping on the ...

... have had a deal going on with the taxi operators, because<br>when we got to the port we saw more bus&#8217;s come. We were lied to in an<br>effort to give the taxi drivers more business. Nicaragua made me feel<br>like I couldn&#8217;t trust anyone. <br> At the port we boarded a barge<br>that was to take us across the massive lake to the island in the<br>middle. This lake which takes up a good portion of Nicaragua is<br>gigantic. I admit my ...

... to the hostel to find some really terrible but incredibly funny karaoke going on, the hostel staff where drunk and apperently thats what they do every time they hit the drink.<br>I had a 10am flight (and a shuttle picking me up at 7am) the next day so I left them to the karaoke and went to bed.<br>Next morning I awoke feeling great (I was of to Costa Rica in a few hours), unfortunatly this feeling didnt last long, I looked at the time and it was 10am already, I had missed my flight.<br ...

... with the locals under the starry sky (one of them turned out to be Martita&#8217;s, my supervisor, brother who is a turtle conservationalist!!) and nearly suffocating from the cloud of dust that the truck would kick up every time we halted. This, we would find, is actually transport a la mode in Nicaragua. Even though San Juan del Sur turned out to be a let down, the adventure of a truck ride made up for it<br>

... a while and watched the sunset on the beach - it was amazing - the picture in my blog is of san juan del sur - it was my first time to swim in the pacific we had dinner at a little street vendor place for 7 dollars total and went to bed early - we are still very sore from the volcano climb - peace i will update about what we did today either tonight or in the morning (i went surfing fool) ryan

... hostel, there was so much noise, people and heat, that going back to San Juan del Sur on the Beach was the best I could do. So far so good, the school is really fine, I have one-to-one lessons and my teacher Amanda is a very nice and funny person. I am sitting direct in front of the beach on the restaurants table whil I try to write and speak Spanish. By the time now I can talk to people, say my ...
