drinking agua in Managua, Nicaragua

6 days into Nicaragua, I am with my girlfriend Andrea on this trip, we flew into Managua From a red eye flight. Nierher of us got much
sleep. We both did carry on since we only had an hour to cat h our next flight out to the Corn islands. As it figures our connecting flight was two hours late. It is nice to be able to carry around a small bag, but. I kind of wish I had abigger bag so I could fill it with Nicaraguan crap that I don't need. We checked into our crappy little beach bungalo. We were the only guests. The headed down the street to find some food. There is only one road that circles the island and both directions were dark. We took the road heading right. We soon found a little ice cream shop that had food. I ordered fried shrimp and fried plantains and it tasted sooo good. Had an awful nights sleep as our bed was pretty much springs covered with a dirty sheet. The next day we made it to the other side of the island by cab. A taxi no matter where or how far you go is 20 Cordoba's or $1 We paid a $2 you're leaving big corn tax and then jumped on an open boat with 20 other people and headed for little corn island. Little corn is way better than it's big brother. No road just a partial cement a d dirt path around the island. We got off the boat and decided to go left since everyone else went right. We got a ways down the path and met up with a local who had us follow him back the other way to where the accomodations were. We ended up at a liitle hut with the sea as it's front yard for $15. We went back to where we met the local for a fabulous dinner of baracuda. White and tasty like halibut. We also booked a couple of dives for the next day. Diving wasn't all that. I've had wY better dives in Borneo and way worse in Colombia. We did see a dolphin swim by with it's baby by her side, deffinetly the highlight thus far. We ended up diving three dives we both really liked our dive master and the equiptment was pretty new too. Short vacation so we left and went back to bigger corn spent the night and had another great seafood meal and hopped a ride bCk to Managua where settled into our hostel and walked up the street to eat another delicioso seafood supper. I've concluded that Nicaragu has the best food south of the border and is running a close second behind Vietnam.
We took a one hour $1 mini bus ride from Managua to Granad. we canned from our hostel to the bus station and before the taxi could come to a stop this guy ran up took our bags out of the trunk and put them on a bus. Andrea was trying to pay for the cab and I was trying to see where this crazy guy took our bags. It all ended up ok we were on the mini bus to Granada. I guess the bus doesn't leave until it is full and time is money. Tomorrow we have booked. A few hour cruise around some islands in Nicaragua Lake, only the lrgest lake in Central America
