There was a tsunami warning here this morning. The danger time has passed, all quiet, all well. I’m safe and sound.

Staying another day or two at Rancho Tranquilo scouting potential lodge locations. Nice part of the world.

Fully recovered now. Very relaxed pace of life on the beach in Jiquilillo. Nice place to spend a few days.

Made it to Leon. 3 hours in Honduras was hell. 9 police check points in 200km, too many bribes. Glad to have survived. Viva Nicaragua…

Met Tomas in Taxisco, outrageously slow border crossing, ~4 hours. In El Tunco, El Salvador. Seems like a small, sleepy, surf town.

Change of plan, assuming Tomas gets his bike up the hill, we’re going straight to the beach in El Salvador. Saturday night, new country.

Two groups of 10 and 14 people arriving at Earth Lodge today. Might get messy. I bailed out of poker last night, still 110 Quetzales up.

We’re at Earth Lodge near Antigua after a crazy ride from Puerto Barrios yesterday. One night in Livingston was quite enough!
