Crossing the border from Honduras to Nicaragua we found ourselves suddenly traveling down a dirt road where the paved highway allegedly runs. Doubting wether we had taken the right turn at the border crossing, we were reassured by semis wielding their large loads through potholes and horse drawn carriages. Apparently road construction is slow in Nicaragua, and despite increasing tourism, it continues to be one of the poorest countries in the western hemisphere (Nicaraguans go to El Salvador for better wages).
We have been travelling down the coast seeking waves (oftentimes on four wheel drive roads with a rear wheel drive van). Above the guys (Griff & Simon) scope out the waves for some good prospects. Below the van surprises us all by making it through a low water crossing.
