Atami for NYE

📌 We made a short journey down to the coast of El Salvador where we were staying in a lovely resort overlooking the beach. Due to the resort being somewhat secluded, it was a spot with not much more to do then relax. Upon arrival we enjoyed a beachfront dinner down at a shack on the black volcanic sand beach before retreating for a decent sleep.

📌 NYE we lounged around, went for a swim in the ocean, possibly one of our first beach days in years. We hung around the pool and enjoyed some more lunch at the beach shack, where Ceviche was one of their specials. That evening after a nap (due to a 4am departure due) we spent the NYE celebration in the resort, serving a buffet style meal with champagne and some Spanish music. The view was beautiful, the vibes were great and it felt like everyone there was quite local, perhaps one of the bigger events in the area.

📌 We retreated to bed not keen on the 3.30am wake up for the departure to Nicaragua. As we had been briefed the night before, the plans officially had to be changed as El Salvador to Nicaragua boats were not running due to NYD and the water conditions. As a result we had to drive through Honduras and therefore kick the UK citizens off the tour as they would be unable to transit through Honduras as they require a visa. Quite a drama but they will likely fly between the countries. We entered Nicaragua via basically a ghost town border with surprising ease, although it was the slowest border I've ever seen!!Baca lagi
