Total War Rome Patch Prior Not Found

san juan del sur






tanning







me yet a little bit before I return in 2 weeks in cold Germany to fly home I was here last weekend, so of 5 to 7 August, in san juan del sur on the southern Pacific coast of Nicaragua. there I have pink, one of my 20 "mitfreiwilligen" visits.
one has to know that san juan del sur, the tourism center of Nicaragua is (if one can call it that, because really many tourists can be found here ...), and therefore not a little better, and international, and also a bit more expensive than the rest of Nicaragua is. is beautiful or rich, there is not so much poverty;) that the roads and the beach is clean, that one can buy souvenirs on every corner and can also go away quite well in discos and bars and Thursdays there something like "all you for ladies can drink free;)) "is ... (which of course pink and I had to take advantage ;-)) and international hot naja is that it also refers cafes with muffins and cappuccino correct - as seen on the images! can - and also everywhere - very unusual! - Tall, blond people in surfer gear sees running through the streets or meets with go away.
well, am on thursday so went to walk ne quarter of an hour with my big backpack from the bus stop at the edge of the Memorial Sandino, then half an gefahrn hour up to the market "mercado Huembes", from where the buses start of Nicaragua in this part . then for 55 cordoba (almost $ 3) 2 hours by bus gefahrn to Rivas, where at noon at 2 in the blazing sun for an hour on the crowded connecting bus to san juan del sur waited where I three quarters of an hour with a Nicaraguan couples and my big backpack moved to third on a space for 2 people did, and I had a fat American tourist almost 2 times crushed her posterior, than at a sharp braking of the bus with full force on it fell on me ...
I'm finally finished and quite wet with sweat Once beach town in said first and I've gone to the beach to refresh myself with a small dip in the sea. after a cold cola I was again reasonably fit, and by 6 I got finally pink bar from when we went (live pink in a host family) to her home to my stuff to unload and for us go away and the " barra libre para damas ..;)" to finish.
go away was funny, is also n photo of me in rosas "jump-in-outfit" ('ve forgotten how the degree is exactly ...) - namely because of the pink as fits all fried "Gallo Pinto" and the weekly "barra libre" is no longer pure;)
work the next day had to be pink, unfortunately, so we were just in a cafe right books! breakfast (chocolate muffin and cappuccino since long time:)) and I'm after vacation with a camioneta a hostel with still others and backpackers on a gravel road to a beautiful beach 40 minutes further down north of san juan del sur. However, I almost drowned when I pay the late afternoon, with even stronger winds of the flow in the sea attracted more and more rock direction and I did not order the bean again back towards the beach ... 'm around Scratched 10 minutes with all power and paddled to the waves, and I am the flow but always withdrew. Now my last thought would have beaten the short hour and a Canadian couple on the shore and I was frantically calling to poverty was almost realized in the water monitors to alert the rescue, when I somehow got back to feel sand under your feet. naja, was in any case of non-first time that I was almost killed in the water .....
it was then that I met this Canadian couple who were probably scared than me and offered me back with them in their jeep in the place to go. I accepted the offer with thanks, the one I had in the moment enough of beach and sea, the other was the 40-minute ride in the back of the camioneta but a bit uncomfortable.
on the way back I still had the good fortune to the villa to the two Canadians can visit: Located on a hill in the bay of san juan del sur, with mega-prospects to the site and the sea and Costa Rica, also with! pool and hammocks, huge modern kitchen, great covered patio, etc. .. I tell you, I would almost fell out of the eyes when I saw all this, and I suddenly felt the Memorial Sandino as distant as ever here in my time in Nicaragua. like my luck there then on this day also wanted gave me the two on the next day with them going back to their jeep to Managua, where they finally go to the cinema wanted (which it in san juan del sur ie non existent) and also a few purchases in the shopping malls would do.
so was the return trip to Managua on Saturday a lot more pleasant and cheaper;) as my hinfahrt 2 days before. and there seems to me the two were very sympathetic, I go maybe next weekend again after sanjuandelsur to the Pacific, and stay in the villa with the pool and the promising ..... :)
