After 2 days of travelling by bus, I arrived in another
beach town called San Juan del Sur with 2 Aussie girls in tow, whose Spanish is
about as good as my Russian, so I became their translator/guide for the
journey. We cleared customs and whizzed on to San Juan in a taxi and arrived to
a rousing reception at a hostel run by a lovely Aussie couple which had a great
view of San Juan as we were up in the mountains. ( I have never before been
high fived on arrival at any hostel). By this time everyone knew my name as I
had booked ahead, so the word was out, Michael Jackson was arriving!!! The
hostel also has a pet spider monkey called Buzz, whose hobbies include
attacking, biting, swinging, scratching its bum and sleeping. But what a cool
monkey, You could watch it for hours, it was more entertaining than Michael
Mcintyre, which isnt saying much I know... I spent a good few days here
relaxing, swimming, tanning and eating good tucker. It was kind of like being
on holiday with your family (if you actually like your family), everyone ate
together, drank together and had some good banter.
I was very sorry to leave there but am now in Granada,
which is a lovely town. Not sure where my next stop is but probably north of
Nicaragua, I have been told there is a place where you can throw yourself off a
volcano on some sort of board... sounds very cultural!
Sorry to have droned on but I could have said a hell of a
lot more, this was really just to let people know where I am, I will post
photos on facebook later on.
And just to let you know, Daan is back in Holland and
recovering well! Hooray!
