Day 34. Today we left Leon. We were sad to do so as it was a interesting and friendly town with a great market, and we feel we didn’t quite get to explore enough of it. Around noon we arrived in Granada, a surprisingly attractive and colourful colonial town which wouldn’t look out of place in the South of France (or perhaps Granada in Spain?!?), an unexpected hidden gem in Nicaragua.
Granada
Safe had his hair cut by a man who used a razor blade and a pair of large kitchen scissors. There seems to be some misunderstanding with barbers because Central Americans are practically hairless and Safe most definitely isn’t. One day we’ll learn the Spanish for “scraping the blunt razor over it again and again will remove more skin but not more hair!”.
Big 8.8 earthquake 4 hours ago in Chile. I take it you are far to far away to feel it but early indications are that it has caused a lot of damage
Hey, James,
Thankfully we’re not going to be in Chile for another month. Everything’s fine here (even though Granada is surrounded by a ring of volcanoes).
Hope you’re well. Regards to the missus!
Annie & Safe
P.S. We bought you a bag of red powder from Leon (see previous blog post) but had to throw it away when our clothes and shoes started smelling of it. We’ll try and find you something less smelly … 🙂
Eat your heart out! I just spent two days in snow-capped Snowdonia ! Don’t you wish you were here?
‘Off thro’ Derbyshire to take Alan to see Betty this afternoon. She was so pleased tha you had remembered her 91st birthday.
Have fun!
Wonderful! We would love to have joined you just to cool down for a bit. Glad you had a good day!
