The worst part of my trip so far has been the long bus rides and awful hotels you end up in while in route from one place to the other. Take this gem of a room for example:
Yes they actually stamped the name of the hotel onto the sheets. As if anyone would want to steal these. I slept in my clothes on top and still felt dirty. Luckily I was only in the room for 5 hours before catching a 5:30am bus.
I also stayed in a dorm room at a Hostel in Granada, Nicaragua that placed mattresses on the floor for people who were desperate for a place to sleep. I walked into the dorm to see this little guy chillin right on some poor chaps pillow. Click on the picture if you want a closer look.
Mostly it hasn't been that bad sleeping in hostels. Its just every now and then when you're moving from one town to the next you kind of just end up staying somewhere you wouldn't normally because you get off the bus at 11pm and its raining and you didn't look up a hotel before you left and don't have a guidebook on you to help you out. I'm trying to get better at not doing this.
