Our 6am tourist shuttle bus ($20) to Antigua duly picked us up and a mere 20mins later we were at La Florida and preparing to cross over into Guatemala. We were the only vehicle trying to cross at that time and it was a pleasure to go through the ... Read more >

We only ended up visiting Honduras because it was in the way! We’d found a route from Nicaragua to Guatemala whereby we’d avoid the capital cities of San Salvador, El Salvador and Tegucigalpa, Honduras. This route also favoured ... Read more >

We caught the local bus from San Juan del Sur to Rivas and from there we jumped on to a connecting service to Granada. Or so we thought but it turned out it was only going most of the way. However, at a roundabout junction we were bundled ... Read more >

The ferry fare from Isle de Omepete back to San Jorge was C20 extra. Just because? Different company? No idea! From there we went for the lazy option and jumped in a taxi to take us to the guesthouse we’d booked in San Juan ... Read more >

Following a long, exhausting travel day we spent the morning enjoying our breezy balcony, working out how best to get the most out of our brief stint in Central America. Our room at Hospedaje Soma was very spacious and along with table and ... Read more >

We didn’t really have any ambition to visit the capital city but transport options forced our hand. From Drake Bay (where we’d spent another night after leaving Corcovado National Park) we took the 7.30am boat back to Sierpe and saw ... Read more >

We awoke at 5am(!) finished packing, wolfed down breakfast and went to meet our guide. As we were walking down the track, a pair of toucans landed in a nearby tree - the best and closest viewing to date. We’d opted to reach the ranger’... Read more >

Arriving in the city amidst a torrential downpour having just been outrageously over-charged for a taxi didn’t leave us pre-deposed to like Panama City. The staff at the Panamerican Hostal didn’t give us the warmest of greetings and in the ... Read more >

We’d booked our passage aboard Captain Fritz’s catamaran, Jacqueline, a month previously via the internet. With having the luxury of time we thought 5 days sailing for US$550 was preferable to a short flight for US$350. Not only ... Read more >
