The next day we were allowed to stick around the resort until 3 PM so we stored our bags and hit the pool after breakfast and chilled there all day, had some lunch and then jumped in a very expensive resort-approved safe taxi for way too much money to the capital of Nicaragua, Managua. After driving around trying to find the hostel we were looking for we decided that once we got there we would just hang out around the pool, drink some beers, and share some travel experiences with fellow backpackers.
That night we went to El Tercer Ojo which is the sister restaurant to the one we went to Granada with a couple from Australia. The next morning we went out for some breakfast that for some reason took 1 hour to prepare and then had to race back to the hostel where Chris found out that their flight was bounced forward an hour and then frantically had a cab called and we said our goodbyes to Chris and Heather and they were off. It was really awesome having not only one set of friends but two sets visit us abroad... hint hint to the rest of you!!!
The cab drive was awesome. He drove like crazy and turned a half hour cab ride into less than 20 minutes. We were checked in right away and still managed to have time to grab a couple litres of 7 year Flor de Cana rum. We said goodbye to the Australians which were also flying out and prayed that our rum would suvive the trip, which it did! Horray
ReplyDeleteNice Chris... that is great that you ran into the Aussies and that the Ron arrived Alive.
