More desperate luxury in Granada

After a couple of nights of poor sleep due to the extreme heat, we agreed that we needed to splash out and get digs with air-conditioning, and we´ve hardly left the room since! Truth is that despite Granada being a very "cute" colonial city, we just don´t like it much. We find the locals are trained by habit to prey upon tourists. If you´re carrying something in your hand, someone will come up and ask you if they can have it, whether it´s food, drink, sunglasses or a camera - it´s just what they´re accustomed to doing. Not many here seem interested in conversation, and we´re finding ourselves a bit on edge because of they way we´re looked at and treated. Obviously the extreme heat and humidity don´t help to improve our moods, nor do the incessant, tiny white mosquitos they have here. Today we´re looking into options to get to the airport despite the on-going (and worsening) national transit strike. First we´ll head over to the Corn Islands for an island break, and then perhaps fly to South America.

Corn Island
Corn Island! I read about that recently and did some research on it. It looked great, really remote and low-key.

I was thinking of staying at Casa Iguana. I love their website. Check it out, it looks right up your alley.
