Ok, the hotels you can pay anywhere from less than ten dollars in a dive looking HOSPEDAJES or backpacker cubicals, with no airconditioning, and sharing communal bathrooms. I stayed in a 45 bucks a night place with my buddy it had two beds, airconditioning and cable TV plus FREE BREAKFAST. Place was called Hotel Francesa in GRANADA. The town is on the banks of Lake Nicaragua. The hotel I stayed was a good mile walk to the lake. All this talk about backpackers. I SAW BACKPACKERS STAYING IN THAT HOTEL TOO. It's all in what you want to afford. If you go to MANAGUA. Don't take a cab right away. JUST WALK ACROSS THE STREET to the MERCEDES BEST WESTERN. I paid 48 dollars plus tax for the night for AIRLINE DISCOUNT RATES. Just show your company ID badge. The food is cheap and even at the hotel restaurant. Oh, to answer your question. WOMEN? Pretty girls live everywhere. BUT....In Nicaragua, they just seemed to be more of them around. BEAUTIFUL. KNOCK OUTS. (As I look over my shoulder to see if the wife is lurking around.) Careful with the cabs, they charge alot to go into town, but they have buses swinging down the street every five minutes, and if you like a little adventure and don't mind riding with the locals, it is way cheaper. Like 20 cents or so. You don't know what your'e missing. Take a trip and just have fun. I saw alot of Europeans there, as usual anywhere I go.
