Three weekends in a row

While down here I got to spend three weekends in a row with my friend Bryan. He frist came and met us in Antigua, then I flew to Managua a day before the other girls and finally in Gigante. On Friday morning Bryan, Eliza and Joe picked us up in Granada to head to a really remote beach called Gigante.

The day started off hilariously (is that a word?) Not having booked a place in Granada, we decided to choose a "hostel" that was offered to us as we got off the bus. It was super cheap for private rooms and after all this traveling a room is a room. Well our hostel was in the middle of a market - which made for quite a mess when Joe decided to drive his hug truck through it to pick up our bags. People were literally picking up their goods fromtheir stalls on the floor to avoid being hit. Joe is quite the trooper because if it were me I would have probally had a heart attack!

 Bryan Chloe and I found it quite funny as we were in the bed of the truck. After making it out of the city Bryan and I stayed in the back and enjoyed the beautiful peaceful scenery. That was until we hut the bumpy dirt road to the beach town.

 

Once we got there we understood why Bryan was so insistent we came. It was absolutely beautiful! We spent 2 days there with a really tight schedule of laying out, swimming, eating, surfing, eating, and swimming, drinking, etc... It was the perfect break from our go go go mentality that we had been on since Guatemala. Also it was great to be back at the beach!
