Next we headed south down the coast towards Granada, Nicaragua's oldest town which sits right on the waters edge of Lago de Nicaragua. More polished that Leon, we loved the architecture, the 'taxi' horse & carriages and the buzzy nightlife!
We arrived into Granada late evening and after almost finding ourselves on the street, we found a 'sweaty' hostel close to the center. Still, Granada's main street had a great atmosphere & we had a fab evening due to some tasty typico, a couple of bottles of local rum and some great company of course. We met Ben and Ben, two legendary Thompson air pilots, who were travelling the same route as us - great guys we spent a good week or so with in the end!
The next morning after an eventful night of little sleep and swimming pool antics, Ben & Phillipa hit the local spa and Pete and I did a walking tour of the city before hopping on the lunchtime ferry to Isla Omnitepe! All go...
