Aboard a crowded bus (we didn’t think
you could fit that many people into such
a confined space, but they definitely can!),
we arrived in Gasaule where we crossed the
border between Honduras and Nicaragua and
jumped onto another chicken bus heading to
Chinandega and another one towards Playa
Aserradores, our next destination. On the
bus Quentin made friends with a little boy
called Carlos and who insisted he wanted
to have his sunglasses! No way Carlos! The
road was dusty and into the unknown (as usual)
and we were dropped off in the middle of
a poor and little village… We asked
where the nearest hotel was and were escorted
by a few kids to the marina. A very posh
hotel was there and after being told it would
cost about $200 a night we literally ran
away! Well as fast as you can run under the
heat with heavy bags on your back…
Two kilometers further, we found another
place to stay, at the end of a sand road,
just in front of a beautiful beach…
The prices were a little more reasonable
there and we opted for a couple of beds in
a dorm. The dark sand beach was fantastically
wild and deserted… We walked there
for a while until the night fell and had
lunch at about five in the evening!...
An early and long night was then highly needed…
We spent the following day relaxing on the
beach, watching the waves and then the stars…
We didn’t really feel like we fitted
in there (maybe it was our low budget, the
vibe or the people around) so we left the
following morning and headed back towards
Chinandega. There we took a bus to Chichigalpa
where the famous local rum Flor de Caña
is produced. We turned up in front of the
distillery, hoping we could visit it but
were unfortunately told we needed an authorization
to get in… Never mind…
We jumped onto another bus to Leon and then
another one to Las Peñitas, our next
stop…
