Weīre here again. Staring to feel like home. An accident really, but after leaving Gracias and spending a night in the equally unexciting town of Comayagua we drove straight to Nicaragua. Seven hours including the (again problem-free) border crossing. Stopped by police again on route. Tried to get us for not having a fire extinguisher in the car. Chris just told him we didnīt need it and seems he couldnīt be bothered to argue.

So, the obvious place to stop was Esteli. Checked into the same hostel, Luna, owned by the British woman we met before and decided to stay two nights to get Pepitaīs rattles and other bits done as itīs 10% of the cost here than in Costa. Feeling a bit annoyed as weīve run out of real money, though feel sure we have had a couple of withdrawals duplicated as weīve been writing everything down and thought we had more left. Either way, itīs credit cards until we get back to Costa to check it out. Was feeling miserable enough about this, as well as feeling pretty achey in head and throat and generally (probably from long, hot dusty drives), when yesterday a woman with a huge rock on her finger swung her arm into mine, smashing the face of my watch - my precious watch that Chris spent two days in Brighton shopping for. REALLY fed up after that, only mildly cheered up by chocolate ice cream.

But I canīt really complain... off to the beach tomorrow to await the arrival of JJ and Farah for the last two weeks of the trip!
