Correct Visited Managua this year and have never seen a more hopeless place and I have been to many countries. Your last paragraph hits the nail on the head.
Riviera Maya Tours Good expedition. The one sentence summing up stuff was really great & true ( i think so). Wish to continue your adventure. Nice blog. :)
Great post Great post! The pictures are wonderful, especially the butterfly one. I agree with what you said about the "muppet", some people are just like that.
My respects to Nic's family.
You can visit my travel blog if you want, it's in Spanish, though, http://2.0viajes.com/.
Again, your blog is very interesting!
Good to see the enthusiasm, energy and sense of humor of ones who have traveled the world and asking for more!
Kept smiling the whole way while reading your blog :-) Thank you!
Waouh! That's some really nice shoots you got there! Truly enjoyed reading your blog and your pictures are fantastic! Heading myself to Costa Rica in a month time and already planning my trip so that to spend minimum time in the very touristy place (well...love ddiving so still gonna have to stop by Playa del Coco..) and then heading to Corcovado park...Tried to add you as recommended blogger as I would like to follow your adventure (your latest blog is quite fun too!) but doesnt work....
Such an awesome place Haha I entered Nicaragua the same. It was the only country in Central America that I had no sights I wanna see listed for. Turns out that I skipped through Costa Rica and Panama real quick, then have been in Nicaragua for the last month and a half. I leave tomorrow from Leon but I could easily come back here and trek a whole lot more. People not knowing much about it and not planning to visit it is part of the bonus - the well worn gringo trails dont exist as much. Their government, pollution, and attitude towards animals is a killer though =(
Nice to see someone taknig a look around Managua! Good to see someone checkin out Managua! Im in Leon atm and have only spent 2 nights in Managua travelling through but got the same warnings and wondered if they were true... I havent really found many warnings to be true provided you dont act like a fool in places. I cant say Managua interested me, cities just never really do aye, but yeh... from talking to tonnes of others in Nica you probably are the first to check it out on foot in freakin ages! Nice one.
Iglesia La Agonia Good times! Are you planning on making your way up to Honduras? If so stop by Comayagua for a day while your on your way to San Pedro Sula or Copan.
HAHAHA ...and even taste of BA is still the same :) I had the same problems with dulche de Leche, huge steaks, wine, ice cream, coffe...ahhh...and I put on weight as well! Sooo...don't worry - you are not the only ones. This is all part of BA :) have fun, Jana
another blogs viewpoint: Walking through these rooms and buildings with a local guide who herself lost her brother and father during the regime and worked as a slave in the rice fields with her mother, was a really powerful experience and makes you admire how this country has risen from the terrors it has suffered and how its people are able to keep a smile on their face despite the tragic past that affected, and still affects, every single Cambodian.
Amen to that brother For many years I harboured a dream that momos would usurp kebabs as the late night food of choice for the hungry masses. Imagine it - 8 pints of Guinness and you're a man on a mission- head down you can see only one thing through the evening rain - the warm glow that reads Momo King - a converted burger van serving individual trays of spicy perfection. It's the future.
And is it Nic's birthday? Happy bithday if it is. Happy Tesday if it isn't.
tul-tuk ha.. great humourous description of tuk tuk.. though I know travelling in it, is that not as humourous.. wish you safe and pleasent tourism.. -ashish
Hellooo, it's two rather adventurous travelers from the bonny streets of Edinburgh. Taking our place in the great melee of backpackers, travelers and touts to sample just how many different animals we can eat. This trip of gargantuan proportions is sure to alter the very fabric of the Earth and we apologise to all the trees our journey is bound to kill. In fact we said sorry to the shrubs this morning and will continue to make every effort to redress the Karmic balance by holding every third breath.
And while this may seem like a cheap (ish - we are traveling for a ... full info
