Next morning was dry, little cloudy and got to ferry terminal early to discover the ferry was cancelled but how about flying? Good idea, so rushed off to the airport got tickets to fly back to the mainland at 9am. By 9am it became clear that the plane was still on the mainland and not going anywhere. So we waited...and waited, eventually flying on worst bumpy little plane at 1pm. Most of the flight spend gripping the seats and praying collectively. Interesting, glad it was only a 30min flight. Not the smartest plan, too rough for a boat...fly! On mainland we then had huge delays and hassles sorting a bus down to the capital of Honduras, Tegucigalpa. Arrived there at 1am, eugh and left again at 9am the next morning for another long coach journey to Nicagarua (which seemed about enough time here incidentally!).
Coach yesterday was 1st class, air con, very nice. Until it broke down about an hour in! Problems with the radiator, but we battled on slowly steaming our way to capital of Nicaragua, Manangua and switching on to a local bus for the last hour to Granada. Arrived here 8pm last night and it is beautiful. Very colonial, pretty streets, churches and a hotel on the central park! Luxury! Back to being a tourist (please no more long joruneys for a few days!).

Morning Dude, another Monday entry
Hey Bex, diving in Paradise osunds pretty good, althouhg I can imagine it was wierd to leave the kids and the school. Have discovered that maybe Monday is an ok day to leave you messages as I can at least tel you about my weekend! (ALthough this one is also the last MOnday before we go skiing so that also helps!) Played netball with Jess again yesterday and going out for dinner with her and Kate tonight. Went out with load of SE Asians on Sat as it was my friend's Japanese girlfirned's leaving do (did that make sense). Anyway learnt a lot of Korean drinking games, very fun, and made sushi (not veyr well but also very fun). Went home as Fri night as my parents were away and someone needed to walk the dog on Saturday - also took Han A, Ben and Marsh and Marsh' dog for a walk. Cannot wait to see you (I'm glad your home soon even if you are having a gret time!). Lots of love, Hannah xxx
