Nicaragua

Spent the last few days in Honduras under curfew at our $90 a night hotel! We had no choice as we could not go out onto the streets. Kate managed to persuade the hotel staff to let us have access to their roof terrace. We had a "great" view of Tegucigalpa from the rooftop, our only means of getting fresh air, however our peace was disturbed regularly by police and military helicopters buzzing overhead. After finally escaping the military coup and day/night curfews of Honduras we eventually crossed the border into Nicaragua.


Spent a night in Managua with plans to get a flight to the Corn Islands but after checking the weather forecast we decided against it and headed down to Granada for a few days. The next set of Caribbean islands can wait for a bit. Life is tough!

Granada is a beautiful colonial town on the banks of Lake Nicaragua. The locals here seem so friendly, always smiling and saying hello. It is still in it's infancy as a tourist destination which makes the place even more appealing.


We Spent our first full day in Granada exploring the town. Grabbed breakfast at Kathy's Waffle House, made even sweeter as after french toast and pancakes we watched the Gunners defeat Fulham. The road name was an omen!
