My hike along the well kept, majestic trail in Cauita National Park contained a mix of spotting natural wildlife and watching the slightly less natural behaviour of tourists. While, I intended to go on a solo, peaceful and somewhat wild walk, sharing my experience with numerous others turned out to be quiet amusing and made... Continue Reading →
We had the morning to kill as the bus to the other part of the island named Merida was not until the afternoon. Consequently, I grabbed a fresh melon juice served in a clear plastic sandwich bag with a straw poking out the top and a chicken empinyada (pastry). While I hate the fact that... Continue Reading →
While gringos are scattered throughout Granada it is a lovely little town, home to various colonial churches, a waterfront lake and rows of colourful houses. I have enjoyed roaming around, admiring the architecture, lake views and climbing up church towers in order to get an even better view of the town. In the far off... Continue Reading →
I boarded yet bother chicken bus in the hope of reaching the town of Masaya known for its hand woven hammocks and handy crafts. Seeing as these past two months I have been choosing hostels on whether they have hammocks or not and spending a lot of time in them, I figured it was fitting... Continue Reading →
This morning it was time to board another chicken bus and head to the next destination. Personally, staying in Estali was not the best experience. My bank card and some money got stolen from my rucksack and a rock was thrown at my leg in the street. People say Estali is a relatively safe area,... Continue Reading →
One of my favourite things about traveling with no schedule is the fact that you get to spontaneously pick and chose, where you go, how you get there and the amount of time you spend in one place. I did not plan to stay in Leon for very long but I really liked the Sonati... Continue Reading →
Cerro Negro is the only volcano in the world that you can surfboard down and globally it is the second youngest volcano in existence. Leon - where I am staying is just an hour bus ride away. Consequently, it seemed silly not to sign up for a volcano boarding adventure. Previously, the record was set... Continue Reading →
The Sonati hostel in Nicaragua, Leon has WiFi, a hammock, a small pool, is eco friendly and costs the grand total of £4.20 a night. Looks like I'm set for the next couple of days. I started off my Sunday as one should - lounging in the comfortable hammock before wondering around town in search... Continue Reading →
Before entering Honduras all I knew about the country was that it is the murder capital of the world. However, to get to Nicaragua I needed to pass through the ominous Honduras. Getting on my bus I planned to get to Nicaragua fairly quickly. However, on entering Honduras I soon realised regardless of it's bad... Continue Reading →
After a fairly long and uneventful journey from Guatemala, the shuttle bus crossed the border and entered Honduras. We stopped off briefly to grab some incredible Honduras breakfast. While it was still the classic Central American combination of eggs and beans, it was served in a flour homemade tortilla which was divine. It is a... Continue Reading →
We are going on a bear hunt
