Three Countries in Two Days - Tica Bus Style

On Tuesday I boarded the Tica Bus for a three country overland journey to Guatamala. The first day we traveled through Nicaragua, Hondoras and into El Salvador. We stayed the night in San Salvador in a dodgy little hotel owned by the bus company. I had planned to stay a few days in El Salvador, but after being told not to carry anything into town (even to take off your watch) and having an guard armed with a machine gun out the front of our dodgy hotel and the little local cafe we ate at, I decided to keep going onto Guatamala.

The total bus journey was 16 hours. It made me laugh to think that in Western Australia I wouldn´t have even made it to Karratha!
