Hey Everyone!! O.K so since i last blogged we spent another day or two in Monetzuma where we went hiking through Cabo Blanco national park, the hike should have taken an hour and a half down to the beach and apparently it´s impossible to get lost BUT Al managed to take a wrong turn somewhere and what should have taken us just over an hour took over 3 hours!!! We spent a couple of days in Costa Rica´s capital San Jose where we went up a volcano and swam in hot springs and then flew up to Nicaragua. After landing in [View Full Entry]

J'ai pas besoin de vous faire un dessin, vous le savez, j'etais plutot contente de quitter Managua- mon bus etait a 21h30, mais comme j'avais un peu peur de passer beaucoup de temps a la gare routiere (endroits tres peu surs, s'il en est), j'ai prevu d'y arriver juste apres 21h... Mais voila, une fois arrivee, j'ai decouvert que le bus etait deja parti, il avait une demi-heure d'avance a cause de 'problemes', quoi que cela veuille dire... Je n'avais vraiment pas envie de passer un jour de plus a Managua, mais commencais a me resigner a cette idee... C'etait sans [View Full Entry]

Laguna De Perlas- le bar...

Finally we blog...cant believe its been a month already...1 to go The path so far...Managua / Pochomil / Granada / Laguna de Apoyo / Isla de Ometepe / Corn Islands Managua, nothing to say except that it sucks, overpriced and none to pleasant. We whisked off to Pochomil right away, a small beach town on the Pacific. Basically had the whole beach to ourselves, a definite perk of travelling in the off season. Stayed for a couple of days then some Nica gangster fags decided to get the room beside us and be obnoxious, the newly arrived bad vibe sent us [View Full Entry]

Day 228: Taxi, bus, taxi, plane, taxi, boat, walk It's been one of those exhausting days of travelling today. Starting early, I got a taxi to the bus station in Leon, and then, picking up breakfast from a street vendor, caught a bus to Managua. A long, hot, sticky bus ride later, I found myself ditched at the side of a main road in central Managua. From here, the only option was a taxi to the airport, where I arrived in plenty of time to get some lunch and check in for my flight. Travelling on board another lightish aircraft, I [View Full Entry]

Nach kurzer Eingewoehnungsphase und gerade mal einem einzigen Arbeitstag in der Schule hatten wir ein langes Wochenende - 5 Tage wegen Muttertag. Und weil ein paar andere Volontaere sowieso geplant hatte, auf die Corn Islands zu fliegen, habe ich mich angeschlossen. Am Mittwoch morgen um 4:30h ging es los. Enye und Grant aus USA, Nora aus der Schweiz, Lara aus dem Libanon, Dore aus Holland und ich. Ein Taxi brachte uns zum Flughafen nach Managua. Der Flug mit einem uralten Tschechischen Flieger war selbst schon ein Erlebnis. Die Landung auf Big Corn Island noch mehr. Die Corn Islands sind 2 kleine [View Full Entry]

Although our stay on mainland Nicaragua was absurdly brief, I felt a trip to the corn islands was good for several reasons. First, I felt our vacation needed an injection of relaxation. We were regularly getting up at 4am (or earlier!) to catch buses to the next destination. Inevitably our backpacks would end up spewing all of our clothes, camera gear, wet stuff, etc all over the room. Packing and repacking this everyday can be a bit of a grind (I know, poor me). Sooo, I thought 3 days in the same lazy place sounded excellent. And the 2nd reason, SCUBA! [View Full Entry]

Aamulla lähdettiin Granadasta pikaisen aamupalan jälkeen. Tarkoitus oli matkata Nigaracuan pääkaupunkiin Managuaan ja lentää sieltä Corn-saarille Karibialle. Ennen Managuaan lähtöä käytiin pankkiautomaatilla. Käteistilanne oli ollut viimeisen viikon tosi huono ja ennen automaatilla käyntiä meillä oli paikallista rahaa viiden euron edestä ja dollareita parisenkymmentä. Onneksi automaatti ei ketkuillut vastaan ja ehdittiin seuraavaan bussiin kohti Managuaa. Bussi oli todella pieni ja matkustajamäärien maksimointi oli hoidettu lyhentämällä penkkiväliä (ts. istuttiin polvet suussa). Matka taittui kuitenkin tunnissa, joten ei jouduttu kärsimään kauaa. Managuan pysäkiltä otettiin taksi lentokentälle, kunhan taksikaveri tiputti ensiksi puolet hinnasta pois. Lentokentällä käytiin lunastamassa aamulla varaamamme liput Big Corn-saarelle ja käytiin [View Full Entry]

We have found that we have been followed by a magic fairy on this trip...we arrive just as express buses are leaving, we get the last room in great hotels and on and on....then we arrived on the corn island in the Caribbean and thought for a few minutes our magical fairy had deserted us....The airport is a little hut and there are a ton of cabs waiting there, each one anxious to take you to their best hotel....I told the driver where we wanted to go and he told us that it was no good, changed owners (Yes, I know, [View Full Entry]

Big Corn
I´m writing today from the gritty city of Managua. It’s my second day in a row here and most people who have been here would ask me why. I don’t really know why either, but I’m very comfortable. I’ve been reading, watching TV and wandering around a bit. I do plan on leaving tomorrow for León. One of Nic´s colonial cities. The liberal Sandinista one. When I wrote last entry I was on my way to Corn Islands. They were absolutely beautiful, and yes, expensive and time consuming to get to. Big corn lays 70k or about 45 miles of the [View Full Entry]

Klasse Schild, hab ich zum ersten mal gesehen.
So das Ticket in den Haenden, kann es endlich losgehen auf die Islas del Maíz (Corn Islands). Die Rio Escondido fuellt sich so langsam und als ich denke, nun koennte sie eigentlich ablegen, kommt alles anders - einchecken auf Nicaragüense... Das heisst erst einmal alle wieder von Bord bis das Schiff leer ist, eine grosse dicht gedraengte Menschentraube bildet sich am Pier vor dem Schiff. Dann werden Schwimmweste verteilt, von vorne nach hinten, die natuerlich nicht fuer alle reichen und dann werden die Namen aus der Passagierliste einzeln aufgerufen, welche bei dem Laerm nicht einfach zu verstehen sind und alles in [View Full Entry]
