El Salvador

After arriving at the border at late o'clock (it was all a bit sketchy) we managed to bribe our way onto a charter bus to San Salvador. Not the most pleasant city in the world, we left straight away the next day!

Continuing on a chicken bus bonanza we arrived in Playa El Tunco, gorgeous beach side village with amazing surf breaks and a great chill-out hostel/hotel/resort. We're doing a great job watching the surfers (despite being excellent surfers the waves are just too big for us!), reading, eating, whooping youngsters at table tennis and sleeping.

Many memories of El Sal are already sticking out for me: hours lounging in hammocks, seeing a chicken on a chicken bus, daily earthquakes! Will be tough to leave this chill-out haven, but I guess a week on a boat off the Belize reef is a decent consolation prize!
