After a long two days we´ve made it from El Salvador to Nicaragua, and the trip was defintely not a boring one. We got a bit lost (well more than a bit) in El Salvador. We drove for 4 hours to a road that dead ended into a random river. We faced several cow attacks (where a large herd of cows stood in the road for several minutes...making the trip even longer)
Once we made it to the border of Honduras we got scammed out of $100 that a noble appearing man said we need to pay because we didn´t have a fire extinguisher and triangles. Then we got stopped again by the police who we had to bribe in order to be able to continue. Yes, indeed, we hate Honduras.
Now we are in blissful Granada, Nicaragua enjoying not having cows in the road and no one trying to rip us off. Tomorrow we go to the best country of them all!

$100 for not having a fire extinguisher and a triangle?!?!.... that's random! haha that's too bad, though, that those things influenced you enough about Hondurus to hate it now. =( those Hondurans are missing out. lol glad to hear you're all safe so far! thanks for the update!
It's probably too late to help you out, but, there is a kiosk in one of the plazas in Granda (near the El Ancla Restuarant) with the best "vigoron" in the country, made with yuca from Masaya together with shredded cabbage and chicharron. I believe I mentioned this to Javi when we were together in Guate.

PS: President Kroeze, Provost Flikkema, VP Bras, Professor Kroeze are also following your travels.
That's a rather harse judgment that you pronounce on Honduras. Certainly a single incident shouldn't color your perception of the entire country. I suspect by the time your trip is over, you may have some choice words for the other countries as well. Maybe you'll re-think your comments after you've completed your trip. I certainly hope so.
mmm...I don´t know who wrote this one!! but the better city in C.A. is: GUATEMALA!!! lol...Don´t forget this!!! lol...so...Honduras it is the same ever and ever and forever!!!♥
