Hi there,
I'm in the unfortunate situation of also staying a night in Tegu before bussing to Nicaragua. Can I ask-- what bus company did you use, and how did you purchase your ticket in advance?

Cheers everyone for all of your messages. I know I'm about 5 countries behind on my blog, but i'm trying to get caught up. It's so hard to find time to write this. It's amazing how time flys when your doing nothing but having a good time! Can't believe it's already been 4 months since I left Scotland, where have the days gone. Oh well still another year and a half to go. I hope I survive it! Thanks again for all the messages xx
