Planning our trip
In and around Morristown, United States
Nicaragua
In five days we will be taking off for Nicaragua for a seven day trip of the west coast. The planning has been going on for about a month now, airlines tickets have been purchased and a rough itinerary has been set. We plan to fly into Managua on Saturday evening and spend one night, perhaps a visit to the Casino's . We will take the first bus out of Managua to Granada (The oldest colonial city in the Western hemisphere) and plan to immediately ascend Mombacho and visit the cloud forest at the summit. Sometime before dinner we plan to visit Granada and enjoy the local culture. There are not to many motor vehicles in this area and the locals use horse drawn carraiges to get around the town. The cost per ride is somewhere around 20 cordobas ($1). We will be spending the evening in a hostel with pool, internet and breakfast included. The balance of the trip will involve sleeping on a volcanic island, checking out nesting turtles, motorcycle riding along the beach and maybe a day of sailing along the pacific coast in San Juan del Sur.
