We crossed the border into Honduras on Wednesday with relatively little trouble although we had to pay a fixer again as it is so unimaginably chaotic that we don't have a chance of working out where we need to go. The paperwork for the trucks often involves 3 or 4 different venues and this time 3 photocopies of all the relevant documents. Goodness knows what they do with them all!! We have to pay to enter and then to leave each country each time and the amounts n...

A week has gone by and we haven't been near any Internet to keep in touch. I will try to post this as soon as possible. We have had a good week here in Nicuragua. The town after San Jorge was granada. A very pleasant town situated right by the lake . We were able to park up right by the lake and were lulled to sleep by the waves which were being whipped up by the wind. This meant that there were no insects which was a relief! From Granada we headed towards Mana...

We have travelled up through Costa Rica and have spent some time in the cloudforest at a place called Monteverde. This was very lovely and we did see some great ...

There were lots of retired Americans with holiday homes there and we heard more American than Spanish being spoken. We crossed the border on Sunday , it was ...

We arrived in Cartegena on Monday and we have been trying since then to get the trucks onto the ferry to panama. We have been given different dates but as I write we think that they left tonight on their 18 hour crossing. We have just booked a flight to Panama City and will leave at 1 pm tomorrow. It has been very hot here but we have walked around the city for hours and it is really very pleasant as there is an old quarter with narrow streets and colourful hous...
