Sunday and Monday in Romewent far better than the first day. After breakfast at the hotel, we got tickets to a bus tour with Greenline and got to see and learn much more of the city than if wed only walked around by ourselves.

This one contains the graves of 399 British, 14 Canadian, 2 New Zealand, 1 Indian and 4 German soldiers. It is sad to think about th Read on...
I crossed over from Costa Rica to Nicaragua over the land border. Except the fact that Nicaragua needs PCR test, its an easy border crossing.
Just crossing into Nicaragua, I could see the change in the vegetation and feel the increased temperature. The soil was dry, the rainforests had given way to dry forests and the heat was intense.
