Greetings from Leon, Nicaragua

Hi all,
Ok wifi seems to be working today.
Firstly Clare K, happy birthday. I know it has passed because Australia is 17 hours ahead of Central America. So hope you had a lovely day. Love love love to you.
I saw all the greetings to you on Facebook. I did try to post one to you, but you know what I am like with computer stuff, so you may get it at some stage, or you may not.
I expect I am the only person in the world on Facebook, who doesn't know how to post on it!
So we have just spent our second night in Leon. Hasi says the two noisiest countries in the world are Bangledesh and Nicaragua. I wasn't sure I agreed with that, till spending some time in Leon. It is loud, all day and all night. Having a room with a window to a street downtown doesn't help.
Anyway that's life in the big smoke.
I am writing this at 11am, as in a few hours we head of f to Telica volcano, which is another active volcano, where you can look down to see the magma flow. Its not too high, so is only an hour or so to get to the crater rim. Nevertheless, it's hot today (as always) so it will be hard work.
Yesterday we spent most of the afternoon in the Museum of the Revolution. Our guide was the same age as Hasi and had been a involved in the freedom fight since he was 18 years old. He was so passionate about it, we were very privileged to have him as our guide.
The museum building unfortunately could do with a lot of money for its maintainence. He took us onto the roof, for an amazing view of the surrounding city and countryside, including the 5 nearby volcanoes. It was a bit freaky as a the old tin roof was pretty rusted out, but he knew the framework and where was strong enough to walk on.
So our plan to stay in Nicaragua, has changed. We couldn't decide whether to go into El Salvador or just hang in Nica. The deciding factor was when we looked at our entry card, and realised we could only stay in Nica for 30 days!!! We thought it was 90 days. So tonight we are on a bus to El Salvador!
Things are always changing, as the old African saying goes.
So next blog should be from the pacific coast of El Salvador tomorrow.
Need to finish up now as Hasi needs to check the cricket. He is hoping that the weather has cleared up there so they can play, and may the best team win!
10 more days before our long flight back home!
Hope everyone is doing fine
Love to all
Zak
