"Leon"

"25/06/2010"

A very early start after a disturbed nights sleep - stupid rain. Grrh. We started out walking to the other side of town to catch the bus to Leon. In the end the walk proved far too long and complicated so we ended up taxi-ing it.

The bus was lovely and air-coned, but we had a rude arrival in a hassled second city in their market. In a town that still uses horse and carts as a mode if transport there were flies everywhere.

We spent the day looking at churches and an art gallery. Outside the cathedral were Nicaraguan artisans which have now given me an idea for what I want to take home with me! hehehehe
I also finally got a proper veggie meal at a lovely cafe. Yes! it has taken this long - since viavia! I'm not sure if I've had a meal since then...just snacks.

Leon was a lot more touristy, I'm looking forward to Granada tomorrow.
