Round up of the trip so far...

The Money
This is a top pick! ... a TV in his car for Chrissake. This is when we realised we were hanging out with the jetsetting elite of Guatemala and El Salvador. All young, single (well, not married anyway), up-and-coming, rightwing (obviously) yuppies from these places where you hear ...
Perquin and into Nicaragua
This is a top pick! Claire and Scott: In the past week we finished traveling El Salvador and have now arrived in Nicaragua, the 5th out of the 8 central American countries we are visiting. In San Salvador, last Friday, we had to say ciao for now to Han, and she is now ...
DnD BnBnB.... or the Bermuda Triangle of Honduras
This is a top pick! So, after leaving Comayagua (still shuddering over the headboard and the weasels), we headed out to the Lago de Yojoa. Now, I keep thinking that our Lonely Planet guide will get better for some reason, but again and again it disappoints. It gave ...
Back to relaxing again
This is a top pick! Friday Have a fruit salad breakfast in the sunshine and chill for a few hours. Then walk until the bus arrives to take us up the hill to the mirador or viewpoint area to look at the restaurants. Opt for one and have lunch looking at the lake ...
Just sort of absorbing...
This is a top pick! So I've finally made it to El Salvador, known for its civil wars and general scariness for any gringa travelling alone. No one really comes here, which is at least half the reason why I wanted to. Well, that and the good food, beautiful ...
San Salvador Mall Tour 2006
This is a top pick! ... and up high in Guatemala. Semana Santa starts soon, and we need to be settled in Xela before then. Note on border crossings: El Salvador border officials are the only ones so far that seem to look at your passport, and look they do--we were in lines ...
Small town...
This is a top pick! ... . The FMLN guerrillas hid in the nearby mountains and caves near here and caused havoc. I went with some of my friends from San Salvador in a pick up truck. On the way back we were stopped by the police at a checkpoint. Were we speeding? Would they want ...
The Home of ¨Pisco
This is a top pick! The home of Pisco (in Chile) is undoubtedly a beautiful place loved by ...
It must be something in the water here......
This is a top pick! I arrived in San Miguel around noon, and within two minutes I had several guys seriously hitting on me. They kept asking about my boyfriend back home, and if he had as good a job as them etc. It was pretty funny....and yet also scary. I managed to ...
The sun is out and we are happy!
This is a top pick! ... , just outside San Salvador, offer a convenient way to take advantage of natural facilities safely and comfortably. Travelling around El Salvador is a lesson in humility. Contrasting with the vibrant colour and sweep of the landscape, the overwhelming ...
A couple of days in the sun.....
This is a top pick! I decided to get out of San Salvador as quickly as possible, as it was just a very scary place. Since I wasnt quite all better, I went to the beach near La Libertad. The beach was okay, good for surfing (which I didnt do!) but they had a nice pool, good ...
From Rainy Guatemala to Sunny El Salvador
This is a top pick! ... in the film Gorillas in the Mist. The next day we decided to head right down through Guatemala to get us near the border with El Salvador and ended up spending the night at a town called Chiquimula. It was a huge change for us to be in quite a modern ...
Guns, Guns, everywhere but not a shot fired
This is a top pick! I am in San Salvador, the ultra modern capital city and the nightlife here is, borrowing an expression from one of my British friends, "proper amazing". They use the US dollar so for the first time in over two months, I am using good ole American ...
Rushing to the lake
This is a top pick! ... a couple of villages with small shops and stops a lot to let people on and off. We get to the biggish town of El Congo before we start descending down windy roads when we get our first glimpse of the lake. It looks like a huge green bowl full ...
Is our bus driver selling coke??!?
This is a top pick! ooooh sketchy bus rides. I left Antigue this morning and got a bus in Guatemala city for El Salvador. I met a great Brit, Sasha, and we hung out at the very very dodgy bus station for a while. We met this guy who we assumed was our bus driver, and he ...
Dragging ourselves away to colonial splendour!
This is a top pick! ... cruel for eating such a beautiful creature though) we watch another sunset and try to avoid the mossies. Ralli tells us about El Salvador and local politics. He is adamant it wasnt a civil war here but just terrorists trying to take over and create ...
Quick stop in the mountains
This is a top pick! The morning of the 29th we left the beach and 5 buses later we were in the mountains in a quaint little mountain town called Alegria. A long day on buses which means of course little food, but we are used to that by now. Settled into our smallest ...
La Libertad, El Salvador
This is a top pick! ... least the one´s we drove - that rival Mexico´s toll highways in terms of smooth surfaces and wide shoulders. After El Salvador, the only country between us and our return to Mexico was Guatemala. Highlights: - Volcano boarding, Leon: Bigfoot ...
Back to the beach
This is a top pick! After the coffee tour we headed for the beach and after a few buses we were back on the pacific coast at El Zonte, a beautiful black sand beach. Settled into the hostel and went to check out the beach. Walked along the beach for a bit, the waves ...
EL SALVADOR
This is a top pick! ... cities were like, before they were invaded by the tourist masses. It's nice to think that places like this still exist. El Salvador, a country that most tourists avoid, but we're really glad we came here. The people have been the friendliest so far ...
I Need A Break!!
This is a top pick! ... ! I had the headache from hell but there was nowhere else I could move to. It states in the LP that crossing into El Salvador can be a bit trickier and the searches more thorough but it was one of the easiest border crossings I have experienced. We ...
Feliz Navidad!
This is a top pick! First of all, we want to wish you all a very merry christmas and happy holidays! Be sure to watch the video in the photo section of this entry to see just how sincere we are about this... We caught a ride from our crazy guide Manolo part way to our next ...
think Crater Lake, but bigger
This is a top pick! ... dip in the cool clear waters of the crater lake. Since it was the weekend, many "capitalinos" (second-home owners from San Salvador) were partying at the pier restaurant next door. We wandered over and had a beer, played cards, and watched the ...
Volcan Cosiguina
This is a top pick! ... Nicaragua to the right(click to enlarge), Volcan Cosiguina forms the peninsula you see at Nicaragua´s upper left corner where Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua come together. From atop Cosiguina, you can look over the Gulf of Fonseco to Honduras and ...
A sobering walk through history
This is a top pick! Another long, multi-bus travel day brought us to Perquin, close to the El Salvador-Honduras border. The main attraction of this place is the rich history of El Salvador´s war that raged through the 80s, but of course the landscape is just as beautiful as ...
