Nicaragua

...Managua was a bit disappointing at first.... back to the reality of more poverty, street children begging on the street, no music on the street, people more cautious about walking on the street for the basic frear of getting robbed ... ectfurther more it was a saturday night we arrived.... so we thaught we ll discover what the city has to offer... the only thing we lived was music from the year 2000, people dancing "interesstingly"...:) ... so in the morning we decided to go to a city called Granada... left our backpacks in Managua and hit the road. when we arrived we were overwhelmed with Saara... a little town (well not that small after all ... had 120.000 inhabitants).... all covered in old colonial style.... every house had a different colour... wow... it was so cute.... people chatting the central park, artesanis exponing their art without having the fear of getting robbed.... so there we were, enjoying a nice little coffee with sunshine in a cafe outside... seriously ... this felt like being in Europe again...hehe... so we decided to go for a "touristic" tour... saw las "Isletas". which are little island groups in the lake of Managua.... was sooo beautiful, peaceful... observing indigenous people in their natural landscape.... the only problem the people there have to face is that the islands are bit by bit bought by Americans... meaning big gigantic houses...(one house per island)... and the unevitable consequence of course for those people is being exploited by the Americans. (making them work for them, for too little money compensation)From Granada we went to Masaya (little artesani town approximately 20 minutes from Granada).. was less spectacuar tough....even though I only had 3 days in Nicaragua... the people are incredibly friendly and welcoming... but the one thing I have to admit, that Nicaragua is more adapted to Tourism than Honduras. ... well.... but comparing it to Panama levels... .well its simply impossible... Panama (for reasons of having the Canal) ... is more developed and simply more touristy...but far less "Virgin" like than Honduras or Nicaragua.... The next trip is going to be Guatemala in Eastern for a week...:) yeahbuhuhihi
