Happy new year from Pearl Laguna

Hi all,
Took a boat trip up from Bluefields to Pearl Laguna yesterday, through the backwaters.
There's only 2 or 3 actual streets in town, the rest is cement paths.
There's not much going on here, but people are incredibly friendly, as they have been throughout Nicaragua.
I'm surprised there's wifi here in this cafe/pub we are sitting in. The only other place in town with wifi is the central parque, but wifi is not working there today!
Sun is finally out this afternoon,, for the last few hours. Would be nice if it stayed like this.
We had planned to head back to Bluefields tomorrow, then start heading west, but it's a holiday tomorrow, so no boats! So we have another day to chill out here, which isn't so bad.. Maybe we can finally get to snorkel if the weather stays good.

Hi, Hasi here,
Just had a look at the cricket, and WOW, a result - never thought that would happen. Exciting stuff. Happy New Year to all, we still have eight hours to go till midnite, see if we're still awake - way past our bedtime...
Apparently the Inuit (formerly known as Eskimos) have twenty three words for 'snow'. I would like to know how many words for 'rain' the local languages have. Probably even more... Details about the different rain experiences will be given at a later time, over a beer back in Oz.
Travelling is about experiencing different things, eg weather conditions... Yep. Done that.
Our newest theory is that we are in some kind of hidden camera show, where the producers put on some rain whereever we go, or whenever we leave the house... Woteffa.
All the best again, see youse soon. Hasi

And love from me
Zak
