Isla de Ometepe and my return to Granada

Tuesday, 10 Nov 2009 | Views [2393]

Riding in the back of a ute, I was making my way toward "The Great Sultan" as Granada, Nicaragua is called. It is Nicaragua's colonial jewel, much like Trinidad is to Cuba. Two year ago I was here, and two years later, I'm back! Getting dropped ... Read more >
