Being so close to Nicaragua I decided I really wanted to visit this country.
So I arranged a taxi from Monteverde to the Nicaraguan border at Penas Blancas, with an arranged taxi pick up on the other side of the border to go to Granada.
Crossing the border was interesting! Lots of trucks circling around waiting to cross and quite a walk from one country to the other for pedestrians!
Again my choice of hotel was in the historic centre, the Plaza Colon .... it was an old colonial mansion.
I had a great room with a patio....... and the breakfast area overlooked the pool.
,
Granada is a charming colonial city to explore......
This was very interesting inside... there was an area where they showed statues found at the Zapatera island archeological site... an island very close to Granada.........
Lots of churches.....
..... we checked out the Islets.of Granada.....
The Fort island......
Monkey island.....
The colonial buildings are great.........
..and lunch/dinner at the Garden Cafe was charming and a great place to relax!
