I was planning on heading up to north-west Costa Rica to do some kitesurfing and stuff, but there were a few niggles. Finding a hostel with wifi, close to the places I wanted to be was turning out to be a bit of a mission, so I decided to come up to Nicaragua immediately instead.
So I’m in Granada at the moment – the oldest city in Central America apparently – and it seems awesome so far. Colonial architecture, dirt cheap and in a really good spot to kitesurf on the lake, see some volcanoes and so on.
I’ve found a nice hostel, and the plan for tomorrow is to go and get a Lonely Planet and a book to learn Spanish.
