Day 9: San Juan Del Sur

The next morning we had breakfast, collected some laundry we had washed, and the staff called us a taxi to take us to Moyogalpa for $25. We arrived at the terminal just as the "Che Guevara" ferry was loading passengers. We got some seats on the open top deck under a shady canopy and we were on our way to San Jorge at 11am.

At the terminal we were swamped by people offering us taxis. Most wanted $30 to take us so we kept on walking until we found a driver that agreed to take us for $20. We were in SJDS 45 minutes later and checked into the Hotel Azul Pitahaya - $45 got us a clean room with comfortable beds, satellite tv, cold a/c, and most importantly a HOT shower which was pretty nice after only taking cold showers for the past week.

Kat took a nap while I took a walk around town - SJDS hadn't changed too much since we were there last year. I stopped at El Gato Negro for an ice cold lemonade and to use their wifi to check my email.

After Kat was up from her nap we headed to the beachfront Iguana Bar for some rum and cock while watching the sunset

The best restaurant in town is El Colibri on the south east corner from the church. We shared a bruschetta appetizer and I had fillet mignon kababs , Kat had fillet mignon with gorgonzola cheese. Along with a few glasses of wine the bill came to $40 and was well worth it.

After dinner we went to Iguana and met up with our Australian friends for more drinks - it turns out that ladies drink free until 8 so my wife and a few other girls were sneaking me some of their free drinks :)
