Leigh & Jo in Granada

Traveling by bike is a fantastic way to soak in the smells, sights and atmosphere of any destination. Whether you choose to bike to each destination or to take a day-long bike tour, you’re almost always guaranteed an adventure!

While spending time in Granada, Nicaragua during their trip around the world, RealTravelers Leigh & Jo decided to explore the city on bike. They spent the day exploring the streets, the lake, and a cigar factory. Here’s an excerpt from their adventure:

“Brimming with energy after a good nights sleep that included a fan which stayed on all night we decided to hire bikes and go for a ride down to the port to checkout the lagun and surrounding islands. We found a little place that hired bikes for $1per hour so we booked for 3 hours and set off. The bikes were a little rough but they did supply us with brand new helmets which they explained the purpose for them was to keep the sun off our heads – no mention of protection.” (more…)
