SOUTH AMERICA HERE WE COME!
We arrived after an easy flight at San Salvador at 7am and disembarked at what was a neat and new airport. From the outside it resembled Perpignan airport – rural – but inside surprised us as the duty free put Luton and Stansted to shame. ...

First Bus in Central America

San Salvador
I'm not saying much about San Salvador other than that it would be really useful to speak good Spanish there. There's pretty much no tourist industry there so they aren't prepared for Europeans like us. I think we say no other pale people like us in the ...
