On the road again
Hola amigos. I´m on the road again. Left Little Corn Island yesterday afternoon. I was very sad to leave. It´s muy tranquillo there. To get back to the mainland, I had to take a 30 minute panga (small open air boat) over to Big Corn where I then caught an hour long flight back to Managua, the capital city. This morning I start my South American leg of my trek and fly to Quito, Ecuador.
I splashed out here in Managua and am at the Best Western. Everything I´ve read and heard from fellow travelers is that Managua is a dump and unsafe. The Best Western is across the road from the airport, so it was an easy choice. Besides, after 2 weeks of limited power, water and sleeping under a mosquito net, I treated myself. My room here has air conditioning, US T.V., screens on the windows, electricity 24/7 and...running water. Well, I wouldn´t call it hot water. But it is available when you turn the tap one. This computer I´m on is high speed. It´s amazing the difference between high speed vs. dial up or satellite. This is the first high speed I´ve been on since leaving home.
Anyway, I loved, LOVED Little Corn. I met a woman there who is living in a one room hut on the ocean, selling jewerly she makes herself from cocoanuts. It was really pretty stuff. I´m signing up for a jewerly making class when I get home. My Greek friend and I have said out goodbyes.
I´m planning on being in Quito at least a few days to attemptto avoid altitude sickness. I´ll lay low for a few days there and let my body adjust to the high altitude after being at sea level. I´m still on beach mode so it will indeed be a change of scenery for me.
Ciao for now. Love to everyone.
