Back to Mangua, then Granada

Today we awoke with plans of heading to Las Peñitas, which is a small beach town about 25 minutes drive from Léon, but after doing some quick research we decided that we would skip Las Peñitas and just head to Granada. 

We checked out of our first hostel, and hit the street.  First stop breakfast.  We ate a traditional Nicaraguan breakfast pinto guillo, it was more than enough to split, and it cost less than $2 USD, we also both had a coffee with milk which cost us each a buck.  Total cost with tip 110 Córdobas, (the conversion rate at the time of writing this is 26.667 Córdobas per dollar.)

We headed back to the bus terminal, this time by walking.  I highly recommend walking to the hostels (as long as it is during the day) we felt totally safe, an it was a fascinating adventure just walking the 15 minutes or so.  

We took another express inter local mini-bus, back to Managua, which is where I am writing this.  We are about to get out as get on another bus to Granada, should be a much shorter ride, we shal see.

Along the way to Managua this gorgeous volcano momombo was in view.
