Hola todos. Last blog for Saturday before we cross into Nicaragua 🇳🇮 on weds. Just catching up on admin these last few days.

After the San Miguel experience I decided to head to port today but I also liked the gaff I stayed in in San Miguel so stayed and watched some more TV and drank coffee till kick out time. Kick out time came and back into Mordor we went. I managed to get an Uber to the bus station. Get in and matey starts going on about how it’s shut cz of a carnival…..just fkn take me there boss!!

Off we go and while their setting up it’s one street. Clearly he was talking shit then! Into the bus station and quickly find the bus for La Unión. This beat up thing looks like it didn’t have autoglass repair on the cover 😂 cracked windscreen cracked windows but it still ran and was $1. Can’t complain and drive motored down there in an hour.

I find the hostel and check in okay then time to take care of some basics – one of which finding a cash point; Mierda!! Their all in banks which don’t open till Monday. Find one in the square but does not work. Another hour in the midday sun and find one eventually and get dollars out happy days. Now to properly look round. Find a nice seafood resteraunt and have lovely shrimp tacos and a few beers for a little over a tenner. Eso fue necesitaba – un poquito de tranquilidad después del lío!!

Later that night had a wander round. Chill enough and not unsafe but still have to watch your step walking the sidewalks. Dock is pretty lively with music but other than that not much going on but find a lovely place opposite the hostel which does a BBQ and serves beer and also super cheap. Lovellyyyyy!!

Next few days I’m just getting my stuff together ahead of the crossing so slowing on the blog till we’re across the gulf.

Hasta el miércoles when cross the Gulf of Fonseca into Nicaragua………
