Starting their Nicaraguan odyssey in the sleepy town of Esteli, Camilla dozes while Julian heads out to find some action and despite meeting the town drunk declares it a boring place. Fueled by a quick stop at a coffee plantation, our travellers head to the explosive city of Leon and experience its volcanic side by surfing down one!. While in Leon they witness a political protest and learn more about Nicaragua's fiery history. After eating dodgy street-food and Julian dodging street dogs, its time to head to the capital city of Managua. Julian and Camilla find Managua to be a city with a turbulent and shaky history. After a scary ride on a wire over a volcanic crater lake, Camilla is invited to see the illicit and seedy side to this city. The gritty tone of Managua continues the next day as our presenters meet the people of La Chureca, the city rubbish dump.
