So, if you remember, when we travelled to Yucatan we ended meeting Tim and Marisa, in Playa del Carmen, and a few days later we crossed the border to Belize together. Tim and Marisa have eventually become some of our best friends, and we have traveled along and crossed other borders through Central America together, […]

Our favourite places in Central America
Before delving into our favourite places in Central America, I would like to call attention to the fact (as obvious as it may be) that everyone travels differently.

Day 236: Nicaragua to Costa Rica
We met up with our friends, Tim and Marisa, on Friday for another border crossing day.

Days 223 & 224: A hot weekend and a day in Granada
We took a ride to Granada, a city of rich colonial heritage that is an hour from Managua, on Saturday. The city is located by Lake Cocibolca so, we decided to start our day of exploration from the lakeside area. The entrance area was nice; however, the rest was unremarkable. We stopped for lunch at a […]
