NICARAGUA, HONDURAS, EL SALVADOR IN 12 HOURS ( November 4, 2014)
Left San Juan del Sur early smelling like a rose, all my gear nice and clean. Went to Grenada for breakfast and decided to go to Esteli for the night instead of Leon. Drove up to Tipitapi and then on to Madagalpa and through the mountains to Esteli . Stayed at Lunar Hostel which was pretty nice and comfortable.
Left the Lunar at 5:45 am to get to San Salvador before night fall, hopefully. was at the border at 7 am and had to pay $35 again to the Hondurans for my bike and then they wanted to charge me $25 cause I was from SA and didn't have yellow fever shots, which I have, after much protest they gave my money back and was told to go and it only took an hour and a half to get through.
Did not have a map of Honduras so was a little tricky but found the El Salvador I 'am
at border which took two and half hours but no charges whatsoever. then had to bolt for San Salvador which is three hours away. The road is a maze off patches and potholes with some stray dogs and cattle to add to the excitement.
Made it to the capital at dusk and ended up at Good Price Nelsons house. Went to Marios for dinner and laughter where we met their Canadian friends who are doing a world tour.
Be sure to sign up for all the tours, otherwise you will be sitting on the boat since not all stops are moored at a dock. Some are anchored.

There were two best aspects to our trip:
1. The Adventure Life folks and the folks in Athens and Crete who supported our itinerary, guided us, and ran the cooking program were all superb.
2. Everything they all planned for us went without a hitch. When we needed a bit of help, they came through with really good answers.
We became aware of AL from a friend who had an excellent experience in a different location. So did we. We can recommend AL without reservation.

My agent Jeff did not push the sale while providing thorough information and replying quickly to my many questions.

We have used AL for decades now to plan trips. Kassandra has been with us from the start and has never disappointed. She knows our family and our quirks and is always willing to fit the trip to us. This time we made her work for the booking because of family member schedules. It has all come together for a great Christmas gift for many families.

Shannon could not have been more helpful in arranging our recent booking with Uncruise. Very knowledgeable, professional and pleasant to work with. I highly recommend Adventure Life.
