Rivas (Nicaragua) – POP 50,600.<\/p>\n

The attack and robbery on Ometepe had shaken my confidence. I needed to find somewhere safe to get my head together.<\/p>\n

Rivas has its fans \u2013 people say it\u2019s authentic and lively with some wonderful buildings downtown. Maybe. But what I needed most of all was a refuge.<\/p>\n

Hospedaje Lidia, an amiable, family run operation, became my saviour. Once I had explained what had happened on Ometepe the owner gave me a hug each time she saw me.<\/p>\n

After two days ruminating about the robbery, and receiving lots of hugs, I took the Transnica<\/a> bus to San Jos\u00e9 (Costa Rica), approximately 5-hours.<\/p>\n

It would have been quite easy to call it a day and head back to the UK. I decided that if I could withdraw much needed funds with my last credit card that it was a sign to carry on with my travels. I could, so I did.<\/p>\n

Next stage: Costa Rica (Costa Fortune).<\/p>\n
