Hi all,
Well today we organised our trip out to the Corn Islands, about 70km off the Carribean coast of Nicaragua.
We were hoping to travel tomorrow or Monday, but first available flight is Tuesday.
Of course I wanted to travel overland, which would have taken us at least 2 days. Hasi always wanted to fly, and people were telling us it was a pretty tough overland trip, so in the end, I agreed to fly.
Makes it all a bit too easy I reckon!
Anyway we then spent at least an hour queuing up in the bank to organise money.
We then wandered round the market and Hasi bought a new day pack.
Dad, the masters game backpack you gave us, from the ninth masters games in 2003, has to go to the tip in Granada!! It has had a long life for a backpack and been with us in Central America twice!
Hasi phoned his mum today and I've just spoken with mum, dad and Fran.
Always peace of mind to hear alls well at home.
Not sure about Internet or phone availability on the islands, so may be out of contact for a while. Having said that I have been amazed at the amount of wifi available.
The phone call home today cost the equivalent of $1.20, and Hasi paid the equivalent of $1 to call his mum, but the local call we made to the airline to book our ticket cost the equivalent of $9! That is pretty crazy.
Still haven't worked out how to put photos on the blog, so I have emailed some. I'm sure it's very simple, if I could just work out how.
So lots of love to all,
Zak
