She had put a chicken in a plastic bag pretty much folded it in half and was going to hold it on her lap the 4 hours. I dont know if it was her next meal or just her little mate. And this was not a chicken bus it had AC nice reclining seats and didnt http://www.travelblog.org//Central-America-Caribbean/El-Salvador/El-Sunzal/blog-330855.html Finally we are at the beach and within 5 minutes of arriving at our beach side surf lodge we were in the water ducking under the waves. Its about 30 degrees here very humid and much to our delight it seems to only rain in the middle of the night. The sea is like a warm bath which means you don't need to hurry out but we are lucky enough to have a refreshing pool with ocean views at our lodge. http://www.travelblog.org//Central-America-Caribbean/El-Salvador/El-Sunzal/blog-296699.html Taking the scenic HWY 2 we cruised along the El Salvadorian coast passing farms and towns scattered along the semi mountainous jungle landscape. The fresh smell of post rain fills the air. We stopped in the town of Sunzal which is said to have one of the longest point breaks in Central America and checked in to a cheap hotel with a pool and use of their kitchen. After taking a dip in the pool http://www.travelblog.org//Central-America-Caribbean/El-Salvador/El-Sunzal/blog-292588.html Since the last installment we have travelled through Belize Honduras El Salvador and Nicaragua. God we've done a lot I guess after relaxing for 2 weeks on Lago de Atitlan we needed to do fit a little craziness into the itinerary.In Belize we visited Placencia and Punta Gorda. Placencia was OK and it had a nice white sand beach but it was cloudy and it rained for the two days we were there. http://www.travelblog.org//Central-America-Caribbean/El-Salvador/El-Sunzal/blog-132550.html
