3 in a row [Nicaragua - Honduras - El Salvador]

Roadtrippin’ … 6 Nächte Nicaragua, 1 Nacht Honduras, 11 Nächte El Salvador!

Nicaragua hat uns durch seine Ursprünglichkeit (v.a. im Vergleich zu Costa Rica), durch seine guten Wellen und den außerordentlich guten Rum Flor de Cana überrascht und erfreut. Aufgrund seiner Geschichte (Revolution Ende der 70er/ 80er) ist die Amerikanisierung hier noch nicht ganz so weit fortgeschritten und das gefällt: Deutlich weniger Fastfood-Ketten, weniger riesen SUVs (dafür noch mehr Pferde) und beschwerlichere Anfahrten zu den Surfspots, aber schließlich jede Anstrengung wert. Hier kann man sehr gut ein weiteres Mal vorbeischauen…

Honduras war für uns reine Transit-Strecke. Da wir aber nicht 2 Grenzübergänge an einem Tag machen wollten, haben wir eine Nacht Zwischenstopp eingelegt – in der südlichen Ecke des Landes, die für Touristen eigentlich nichts zu bieten hat außer Trockenheit, Hitze und Armut. Hier haben wir es erneut von allen Richtungen eingeprügelt bekommen, wie extrem gut es uns geht (und damit sind nicht nur wir Langzeiturlauber gemeint).

Speziell waren dort außerdem die Polizeikontrollen, in denen wir uns alle 10 bis 20km wiedergefunden haben. Ausgestattet mit 2 Warndreiecken, 2 Ersatzreifen und einem Feuerlöscher (vielen, vielen Dank an dieser Stelle an die Frida-Vorbesitzer Nic und Kathrin) und dank des guten Smalltalk-Themas Fußball-WM (ja, Honduras hat sich qualifiziert) haben wir fast alle problemlos hinter uns gebracht… Die letzte Kontrolle hat uns aber dann doch ein paar Dollar gekostet – wegen fehlender Seitenreflektoren!

“We fly to El Salvador, we don’t know why and we don’t know what for…” – der Song von Athlete hat es uns lange vorgesungen und die Vorfreude auf dieses Land, von dem wir vorher kaum was wussten, war groß – die Überraschung umso größer…

Das Land ist viel moderner, viel reicher und viel fortschrittlicher als wir uns das vorgestellt haben. Gleich nach dem Grenzübergang ein riesen Burger King, perfekt ausgebaute Straßen die komplette Küste entlang, sehr viele super hippe Resorts und Restaurants und ein entsprechendes Preisniveau… Nach kurzer Eingewöhnungsphase bzw. Anpassung der Erwartungen haben wir uns aber extrem wohl gefühlt, nette Menschen kennengelernt und die Nähe zum Meer an der Costa de Balsamo in El Zonte sehr genossen (noch näher nämlich:  Zimmer-Meer ca. 40m). Neben den Philippinen war das einer der wenigen Orte, wo sich Einheimische und Touristen richtig gut vermischt haben. Auch definitiv ein Platzerl zum Wiederkommen…

Jetzt kommt noch Guatemala und Mexico und dann ist nach einem letzten Stopp in New York Ende April das Jahr auch schon wieder rum… 8 Wochen Countdown!!! Uns geht der Arsch auf Grundeis…

ENGLISH VERSION

Roadtrippin’… 6 nights in Nicaragua, 1 night in Honduras, 11 nights in El Salvador!

Nicaragua is a very nice and original country with awesome waves and a terrific rum “Flor de Cana”. Because of its history with the revolution in the 70ies and 80ies it was not supported by the USA during this time – what you can see now and what is actually pretty nice: less fast food chaines, less SUVs on the road (but more horses), worse conditions of the roads and longer drives to the surfspots. Yes, would be nice to come back here one day…

Honduras was just transit for us. As we didn’t want to do 2 border crossings in one day, we stopped for a night in a small town in the south of the country which has more or less nothing for tourists but heat, dryness and poverty. Here we got hit again how f… lucky we are (and not only us, the longterm holiday makers).

Also worth mentioning in Honduras are the police control points which you find every 10 to 20km. Equipped with everything imaginable the policemen could ask for (thx again to Nic and Kathrin) and some small talk about the upcoming football worldchampionship (yes, Honduras is qualified) we almost managed all of them without bigger problems… just at the last one before getting to El Salvador we had to pay… because of missing reflectors on Frida’s side doors!

“We fly to El Salvador, we don’t know why and we don’t know what for…” this song by Athlete stuck in our ears for ages and made us pretty curious about this country we didn’t know much about before – and it was a big surprise!!! This country is much more developped, much more modern and progressive than we thought. A huge Burger King in the small village right after the border, perfect new roads along the coast, hip and expensive hotels and restaurants and a adjusted price level… after a day of re-adjusting our expections we started liking it there… a lot! We had a nice place to stay, got to know very good people and enjoyed the fact of being so close to the ocean in El Zonte/ Costa Balsamo (yes, even closer, about 40m from our room).

Besides the Philippines, El Salvador was one of the rare places where western tourists and locals/ El Salvadorians mixed in a perfect way… Also a spot where we definitely would like to come back.

Next country (more for the transit) is Guatemala and then Mexico before we come back home after a last stop in New York (end of April). 8 weeks countdown… and we are getting a bit nervous…
