Cordobas, An Angel & Skin Tax

Making our way from Ometepe to Managua turned out to be a monetary adventure. There are only two towns on the island that have ATM machines...we were no where near them. We had 170 Cordobas (C$), less than seven USD, that needed to last us until we got to Managua and we weren't sure exactly how.

The one ferry that left the San José port in the early morning was our only hope (and saving grace). Our ferry ride in to Ometepe cost us each C$70 and it left us at the Moyogalpa dock. We were expecting to pay the same but since this was a different boat leaving out of a different part of the island it ended up costing C$35 each instead! We knew it was our lucky day.

Our next challenge was the bus to Managua. Once off the boat we had to wait two hours for the Managua Expresso bus. We were told it could cost as much as C$60 each but to our surprise it was C$30 each! Yes it had plastic bench seats and no AC but still...we had a ride! We knew an angel was helping us along our way. 

By talking to some people on the bus I learned we needed to get off at a certain intersection and not at the bus terminal. A man and his daughter were getting off at our same stop and walked us in the right direction for a cab. I asked what a taxi should cost and he said no more than C$40 to get to where we were going. 

After a thousand thank yous we hailed a cab. Before getting in I told the driver where we were going and asked for the fare. He already had a man inside but ride share taxis are normal here so it didn't bother me.

The driver looked at me, my sister and then our backpacks.  "Para las dos, C$60". 

The extra C$20 was skin tax but since we didn't have it I asked if he could take us for C$40 and he agreed! 

Thanks to our guardian angel we made it safe and with just enough cordobas to complete our day of travel.
