A boat, 4 chicken buses and a detour to San Salvador

---

We wanted to get to Playa El Zonte in El Salvador from Monterrico which should take about 4 hours by car. It ended up taking us 10 hours on one day then an overnight stay in San Salvador and another 2 hours in the Morning. In the process we travelled on a boat 2 taxis and 6 different chicken buses, a truly epic journey. People say chicken buses are not for gringos but I thought they were wicked. People would come onto the buses trying to sell anything, medication, sweets, fruit and even marajuana cream. Anyway we reached Playa El Zonte finally.
