Bus driver seemed obvious that there were people enough on the bus to the Matagalpa, so it was canceled. Instead, it introduced a small mini bus into the line. In the bus there was plenty of room for luggage - it was not in the mini bus. Our luggage had to be in the aisle, which was placed a seat from a garden chair on. So could people also sit in the aisle. Poor baggage, it was quite flat. But every place is always filled. Bus ticket, no matter what kind of bus it is costing 60 cordoba per ticket. The trip takes from 2-3 hours. It depends on the driver. Matagalpa is a little higher up, so the heat is less intense here. The city or the whole area is known for the many coffee plantations. Some of the best Nicaraguan coffee is grown here. Today, Barack Obamas big day. The whole country goes with it. The owners of our first hotel sits glued to the screen. We are fortunate that for just the second time since we traveled from Denmark, we have TV so we can follow. Unfortunately, it appeared that bogie of Honduras does not stop in Matagalpa more. That changed only a couple months ago. Aw, so there was no reason to stay in Matagalpa. We had to take a eftermiddagsbus to a small town called Sebaco, although we had already paid for one night in Matagalpa. Sebaco proved to be a sleepy little town where we were the only tourists. There was only ONE hotel in town - Hotel Plaza. I was hoping in my mind that there was little plaza over the place, but the city took into account was probably not so likely. We had to stay overnight in a small room that was extremely worn. Lavatories used family even, but they did not look as if they were ever cleaned. Next morning we found cockroaches that had climbed into an empty Coke can - add:)
