The 16 hour ferry ride back to Granada sounded like a killer, its a tough and long sail. A beer here and a rainforest Latino bus adventure sounds better. First find a bus to Managua and then another to Granada 'Plan'.
The bus station in San Carlos:

I have 2 hours to kill. I grab some food:

This plate of food cost me $1.55. The carne asada is super as is everything else.

Back at Granada: What a great trip. I will never be the same again……
