Visa-run to Nicaragua

4/4/2011

A visa-run is supposed to be easy - just bring your passports and stay in another country for 72 hours, and that’s it. So, with all the paper work in order, we set off towards the border. Everything went smoothly with our passport/visa proceedures, as well as finding our way through customs without any major problems. 
Then, happy and proud of being such an efficiant team, we jumped in our car to continue our drive into Nicaragua. Some (we stopped counting at 5.....) hours later, after having paid ”fees” (read: bribes) to the helper, the helper´s helper and his helper for taking our legally owned car over the border, we headed north, to San Juan del Sur.
Nicaragua is a country with many possibilities. Beautiful landscape, wonderful beaches and untouched nature. The flavor of a military regime and dictatorship is very obvious everywhere, with a lot of similarities with Russia. A lot of people suffer from hunger, poverty and desolation, even though we saw some areas which had begun to profit from the tourism.

We stayed at an Ecolodge ”Balcones de Suan Juan del Sur” - very natural and relaxing. The first morning, Denise and Vincent took mum Ulrika for a walk..... a very long one.... before breakfast.....

 Accomodation or massage, anyone.......?
