Nicaragua - by Brad

Words can´t describe how good it felt to arrive in Nicaragua. The policia had smiles and one even said ¨Welcome to Nicaragua¨ as he handed back our paperwork and sent us on our way without even hinting at a bribe.

The volcanoes were amazing to watch on the horizons and our destination was closer than we anticipated. We topped off the gas tank (never let it get below a half tank, please!) and headed for the coast. Within an hour we reached the highly recommended Hotel Chancletas.

Not only was the water as warm as the average bath tub, but the waves were beautiful and plentiful. The locals working the hotel were friendly and always kept your beer cold and full. The food was delicious and we were excited to share this experience with new acquaintances and lounge in the many hammocks strewn across the property.

We met a couple from Los Angeles that was stoked to see our mad max surfari mobile. They have been building their own, from scratch, for the past two years. It pretty much puts ours to shame. If your interested in camper mobiles, you´ll definitely enjoy their blog The Super Camper.

So check out The Super Camper girl surfing! It's Holly Beck, cool, eh?

We stayed for 2 nights and 3 days and definitely could have stayed longer, but duty called and we had to head south to Bernardo and Lorianna´s finca.
