great blog on Bluefields
I was in hope you would answer a little more on Bluefields. Such as do 30000-40,000 really live there. If so why don't they spread out in the huge uninhabited territory? Why do they leave the territory empty and pack into bluefields? Who really owns that huge expanse of land? Its too bad you don't have your camera. Plus you don't tell people about rentals with internet and how much they cost. But no travelbloggers seem to cover the rental aspect. I just have to assume rentals don't exist. Thats how Mexico was when I was there.

Greetings!
So glad you are still marvelling at the world and all it holds, Matthew. Susan and Alice would be so proud! What an adventurer you are. You could have withdrawal symptoms when you finally return home. Peru next! With all its history. Be well and be safe. I can't wait for the next leg of your journey. Jessica tells me the photos on facebook are great. I will have to take her word for it! Pauline

Good to share
Really good to hear all your news and imagine your travels from a very wet Devon where we are visiting Rachel and family. You relay some amazing sights and conjur up some very different smells, not all sweet! It sounds as if you and your travelling companions are meshing together which is good. I like the fact that beer is on the menu daily. Continue to enjoy. Be safe.

Sorry, I don´t know enough about the surrounding area to give you any reliable information. From memory, the moskita area is almost wholly inhabitated by the moskita indegenous people. I´m not sure what rights or status they have with regards to land ownership so it might be worth checking out the Governments approach to dealing with indegenous groups. The relevant Government office might be Bluefields as the area is almost autonomous from the rest of Nicaragua. Also, as I understand it, the moskita area is heavily forested which naturally affects how far people will migrate from Bluefileds. It might also be protected from development. Bluefields main industry is also fishing so that might retain a certain degree of the population. I doubt tourism is a big puller as nobody I met wanted to stay in Bluefields other than as a stepping stone to Corn Islands. I´m not sure what you mean by rentals - if its any help, I stayed in a very bog standard hotel for the equivalent price of 3 US dollars but then upgraded to a place for around 10 US dollars with cable as Bluefileds held little attraction for me.
