The Rest of Central America

Whirlwind bus tour of rest of Central America.

Honduras, busy, Coup, next country.


Nicragua, Touts and scary posters of their leader everywhere, next country.


Costa Rica, rain, trek spoiling rain, next country. Should be noted that I have managed to plan this trip so far following the differeing rainy seasons all the way.


Panama, drug dealer hostel owners, highway robbery and humidity.

Stopped here for a bit. Panama dont let you into their country unless you have a ticket out unlike every other country in the world. As it´s impossible to book the boat to Colombia that most travellers take they insist that you buy a bus ticket back to Costa Rica that they know you are never going to use. No doubt they get paid off by the bus company for this so I went up this road..


..to another border crossing to try again! An old man stamped me thru in 2 minutes, no ticket, wonder who else uses this crossing...

Countryside local, Yellow!


Panama Canal


Panama City. Tried to organise a decent sailing boat trip to Colombia here but ended up partying every night for a week then flying. Condos for $60k.
