Installment #2
La Pyramide Hotel, Managua, Nicaragua
We pulled up in front of a guarded gate and the driver hoped out. The security guard greeted us with a warm welcome, at least I think, and grabbed our bags and opened the gate. Inside was a dimly lit wonderland of odd shaped buildings. We were escorted into the office and the guard ran off and left us standing. Moments later he returned with a gentleman who spoke English and welcomed us.

Our room was interestingly shaped. It mirrored the side of the pyramid it was designed after. There were triangular windows on two walls and a small bathroom on the other. The room held 3 single beds and a small refrigerator that hummed all night.
Morning came too early as the sun rose at 5 am and streamed in through the triangular window. Gandaulf was sleeping soundly on the bottom of my bed and seemed dreamy in comfort. Chris was also sleeping soundly until a loud crash woke us all up from our slumbers and Chris' bed was lying on the floor at one end. The legs had broken off and the bed fell to the tile floor with a nightly crash. We all laughed and drifted back to sleep.
At around noon we drove off to the airport once more to start the second leg of our journey. We were to take a small jet prop plane to Big Corn Island, then board a "panga" or The Paradise tour boat and take a 45 minute ride to Little Corn Island, and our final destination.
