So yesterdays blog i would imagine would have left you thinking i was down in the dumps and that much was true. I did not sleep to well during the night and then i got woken up at 6am as i had not cancelled my alarm form the day before and then again at 7am by some noisey Americans chatting in the courtyard outside my room, so i showered and got my gear together and decided to head out and try and get a bus to Copan Ruinas. I flagged a taxi and he quoted me 60 Lempiarhs and so i [View Full Entry]

So i got up at 6am and i had the squirts which was a great start, maybe it was the ice in my drinks last night?, or maybe my stomach as issues with central america?..........lol So anyway i headed out of the hostel after taking some imdoium and got a truck to the bus terminal and then i got a chicked bus to Chendega as per the Lonely Planet guide, it took forever and would have stopped for a chicken if chickens could keep money in there beaks...hehe Then at Chendega i got a chicken bus again to the border and [View Full Entry]

So after my last entry i headed back to the hostel and chatted with some other travlers and paid my money for the volcano trip the following day, it was a pretty lazy evening as i had a veggie quissidilla from the cafe at the hostel and then watched CSI New York and Law and Order Special Victims unit and then went to bed at 11 and the fan was on in the dorm but all it did was make noise and was not much use to be honest and then the staff decided to play pool and the table is [View Full Entry]

So after updating my blog in the internet cafe in Liberia i headed back to Alctraz/stalag 7 or locally known as the Guncaste Hotel, I sat in the cafe and read the Lonely planet for a while and evlvated and iced my swollen foot/ankle, after whiling away some time doing that i then went to my room to do some repacking and to tend my cuts and clean them up and use some savlon on them. I then headed back to the cafe and got chatting to a Candian traveler Lisa and she has spent 2.5 months in Guate and Nica [View Full Entry]

So after updating my blogs yesterday i took a walk around Liberia and its official the is bugger all to do here and if you ever come here use as a tranist stop and keep heading somewhere else. I went back to the hotel to find out how much it would cost to go to the local volcano, 30 dollars and its like im strapped for cash need to get to Nica and have already spent too much here in Costa and in Panama. So i could not see anyone around the transinica ticket place and so i booked the bus [View Full Entry]

So the bus finally turned up and i assumed it was a direct bus how wrong i was, it made loads of stops, was not arir conditioned and i was jammed in to a seat and knees crushed at the front and back kneed aswell and sweating like a pig and later on some of the Ticos shut the windows, it got to the stage the people standing up to and the pan american highway you would imagine is more than one lane either way. but it is one lane either way so if your stuck in slow moving traffic then [View Full Entry]

So Erin made me a packed lunch and dropped me off at terminal 4 and we hugged and said our goodbyes and i went into the terminal. In the car i had started to get an icky stomach and i still have it now, so it was not comfortable having to wait an hour in line waiting to check in, it was a tuesday night and you wouldnt imagine it would be busy and it was not busy, its just American airlines happy staff were limited and not the most helpful and they gradually took there time to work through everyone, [View Full Entry]

Erin was feeling a bit better than she did yesterday and we headed off into LA, first stop was Redondo beach which merges with manhattan and samosa beach. We then headed for Hollywood and passed hollywood and vine which use [View Full Entry]
