Caught a bus from La Ceiba to San Pedro Sula, then another bus to Tegucigalpa.....capital of Honduras. Tom, Richard and I spent the night in Tegucigalpa ....talk about a dodgy town...glad I was not there on my own. The next day we caught another bus to Nicaragua. So all up two full days of travelling...pretty exhausting sitting on a bus doing nothing for 2 days!
I got off the bus in Leon and the guys carried onto Managua. In Leon, I stayed at a really nice hostel which was so clean, great beds and even mosquito nets. It is a really pretty town, so I spent about 2 or 3 days there, just exploring the town, seeing some Art Galleries and Museums. They even had some works of Picasso, Henry Moore and some other well known artists. Neil and Lucille...they had some Picasso´s very similar to yours.
Only one slightly dodgy experience in Leon when the so called security guy at the hostel came into the dorm at night 2ce when I was on my own trying to sleep. He was not just checking up...when I asked him what he wanted he said nothing and he wanted to talk to me - Ifelt quite uneasy about the situation. When I asked him to leave he kept saying ¨Por que?¨ eventually I got him to leave, but he was pretty pissed off...I decided not to go to bed until there were some other people in the dorm.
After that experience, I decided to head on down to Granada. Made it though the Capital, Managua okay...it is always scary going through the Capitals on my own as they tend to be really dodgy! But the changing of buses went fine without any hitches.
