While I was still coughing, it was time to move on! On Monday Jan 17, we boarded the Tica bus to Granada Nicaragua. Twenty-eight (yes, 28!) hours later, we arrived at the hotel we had planned to stay in for Christmas, Hotel Terrasol. The weather was bright and sunny and the town is perfect! It’s a great walking town with lots services, and a perfect picture around every corner. We were both very glad to be out of Panama City and have some new places to explore.

| Waiting to board in Panama City. Definitely NOT a `chicken` bus. |

| Fellow bus travellers: Roberto, born in Nicaragua, and daughter, Margaret, born in Panama. They have lived in Canada for over 20 years, Kelowna for the last 10. You can find friendly translators everywhere! |

| Waiting to re-board after crossing the border. Within the 28hr travel time, we made two border crossing: Panama into Costa Rica; Costa Rica into Nicaragua. Each took about 2 hours. A nice break to get out of the bus and stand for awhile. |
