Finished yesterday´s post by looking forward to today and the hot springs. Well, things didn´´t exactly go the way we wanted!
The day didn´t start off great when our hotel tried to screw us over with money. Luckily we found a lovely restaurant for breakfast which set us up well for the day. We took a local bus to Tipitapa, to see the agua termales (hot springs), only to arrive and find the place was horrid! The main pool was empty, the whole area looked run down and there was loads of rubbish around. There was one full swimming pool, which was so hot you could cook eggs in it. The sauna looked scary, and the loos can´t even be called as such... I leave it to your imagination.
So ran away again to collect our stuff from Managua, and decided to have lunch in the same restaurant. Our taxi driver was so incompetent (he couldn´t read a map), we went round in circles for half an hour. It was at this time we had to laugh, although he wasn´t laughing...
Eventually ran away to Granada, which already seems so much nicer. The hostel, http://www.nicaraguahostel.com/ is lovely, loads of hammocks to relax in, free internet, comfy beds... not too expensive... we are so glad to be here instead! We hope that our luck with Nicaragua will change, as it is our least favourite country so far. It must get better.... so being eternally optimistic, we are sure that tomorrow will be much better.
Hope that all is ok in the UK and Europe,
Much love,
