So as papa said we had to go to miami to get to managua....now i dont know what papa and mamma have against big cities, but from how we got to granada ( a small city )will tell you that they definitely do have something against big cities. We got to managua at about 2 30 am. I was tired and when we got to the immigration place they needed 30 dollars for our visas, but papa did not have any cash with him so mamma had to go to the havasacks and get some cash and just then we realised that they would not except 100usd notes, so papa had to exchange the dollars or some thing and i dont know what he did but finally we got in. By that time everybody had probably left the airport.
Our hostel had a pick up service and so we got to the place in no time. When we got there, there were a bunch of guys hanging around in the common area and they were staring at mamma, talking in a weird language. Later we found out that they were Indians from punjab and thay were actually speaking Punjabi.
We slept for about 7 hours and then we decided that we should leave Managua, so that was it...we had spent 9 hours in managua out of which we spent 7 of them sleeping. We got a minibus to Granada and i was still tired, but we had to walk and find a hostel. Everybody told us to go to the bearded monkey...and so we did but they were full, but we found a nice hostel except that the bathroom... well i named it the inca bathroom.
After a few days in granada we decided to go to the tree house and apoyo ( a volcano crater in which a lake formed ). So we left for the tree house. The tree house was nice and quiet. The view was great, they had a cable bridge that connected two platforms together and i ran across it many many times...that was fun. The also had a fireman´s pole that u could use instead of the stairs to go up and down. I slid down it many many times.
The people we met there were really nice and we played group solitaire which was fun... but the best of all was our backpacker chess board. Papa and a guy named Edgar wanted to play chess but the tree house guys did not have a board, so mamma ( and i helped ) made a paper chess board with standing paper pieces.
The tree house was a really great experience except for the stupid bugs, once we put the light on above the chess board some flying bug kept falling on me and papa and me discovered a new insect in our room. It was like a snakes body but like 6 cms and it had dragonfly wings....i dont wanna encounter that bug again. After the tree house we headed to apoyo, but it was really hard to get there, cos we did not know where to go. We were not in the mood to try too hard to find it, so we left apoyo and came back to granada.
