Long Ride Home to Granada

Fortunately, our trek back to Granada was uneventful.  The key word as always was flexibility.  Our first boat got to Bluefields three hours late and most of our other connections were off by hours but it was all part of the adventure!  All in all, the journey took 26 hours.  We got to Managua too late for a bus but the brothers from Granada made the one hour journey to get us without any hesitation.  Gotta love the brothers!

Our first boat was a commercial boat called "Captain D."  Apparently, it used to be a Coast Guard ship.  We got on the boat at 10PM and pulled out at midnight.  I was exhausted when we got on but then I got all giddy at being on a "real live boat".  We payed the extra dollar or two for bunks and were provided with sheets.  They were shared rooms with lots of people and no door.  We were in one of the first bunks so everyone had to pass us to get to theirs.  Everytime someone would come by, I'd try to look cool but as soon as they left, I was back to giggling and taking pictures lol.  No motion sickness on this boat, either!

No idea what that is...I just thought it looked cool!

Me nervously climbing into the top bunk.  I'm number 3, yay!

Too excited to go to sleep!

On a smaller speed boat for the next part of the journey.  Everyone was exhausted.
