• Granada

    Jan 2–4 in Nicaragua ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    📌 Next stop on the Nicaraguan Iteniary, the oldest city in the colonial new world of the Americas. The city was again, a colourful one with its vibrant buildings and churches. Granada definitely had a little bit more of a touristy set up with some cafes and a clubbing street, however, still nothing compared to other places like Asia where it is very evident.

    📌 We found a tasty bakery whilst the group went off on a day trip, we then explored some of the city and it's cafes. The city was a little grungy but the Spanish colonial architecture still gave character and charm to the squares and streets. Nicaragua on the surface definitely felt like the least developed of the central american stops so far.

    📌 On the last evening we joined the group for a volcano sighting where you can look into the crater and "see lava". It was perhaps a bit of an exaggeration and an oversell from the guy selling the experience but it was still a fun outing as we all sort of shared the disappointment ☺️We did enjoy a nice sunset over the national park though.
