Water and trip to Somoto

You (or at least we) cannot drink water from the tap in this country, because if we do we will spend the next day stuck in the toilet ;)

We have to buy these 20 litre bottles and use as drinking water, they cost about £ 1.50 each and they last approx 1 week. 

If you follow this blog you probably know by now that Monday is "time off" for preparations and chores, likewise today. 

So we took the bus to another nearby town today called Somoto. It got a slightly different feel to Ocotal that we normally go to for our shopping. 

To our surprise the busses stopped going to Totogalpa 16.30 and this is certainly something we have to take into concideration in the future. 

Just a quick iPhone snap from a crossing in Somoto town.
