During my bike tour through Nicaragua, I took a day off in Leon in order to rest my legs for a while. Here's what I got up to in Leon, Nicaragua.

A day off, and much needed it was too ! This last few days of cycling through the heat have worn me out a bit, so I used the opportunity to re-hydrate and rest my legs.

Laundry was also much needed, and now my clothes smell a little less smeggy, which has got to be a good thing!

I also took a walk around the city of Leon, which has got some wonderful old churches and colonial style buildings.

Although I did many chores, I still need to sew up my cycling shorts, look at the trailer and plan my route to Costa Rica, so I will more likely than not take tomorrow off as well. In the mean time, please leave comments and let me know what you think !!
