Corrupt cops...

Well we have defnitely made some progress through countries!
From Belise we took a boat to Guatemala, a really good experience, but dissapointing when they ripped us off with extra charges for the bikes, before they would unload them!
Then on to Hondurous, we stayed with an awsome missionary family in San Juan, then on south on reasonable roads, but with the most awful and inconsiderate drivers we had ever come accross! Happy to be alive!
After this it was into Nicoragua... home of the worlds scummiest policeman, they gave us all tickets in one day, for rediculous offences!
We have finally heeded advice given a long time ago, and made a heap of fake drivers licences! (Should have listened there Mark!)
And now Costa Rica... beach, palms, beautiful jungle... but it is the rainy season! And we have had to ride in the heaviest rain I have ever seen in my life!!
All in all, everything is brilliant tho!

  1. HI guys greta to read your progress keep it up. Funny how it all works out, I had the bad cops in Baja then no more major problems, rode for my life in Guatemala as I blasted through the other countries until Costa Rica. Any ideas re getting to Columba??
    Keep up the good work guys and enjoy the life on the road.... it just doesn't get any better no matter what is thrown at you
    Cheers

  2. Hi!

    I saw you guys while you where in Ocotal, Nicaragua, at a gas station. Took a couple of pictures and just entered your webpage. I agree also what you say about the traffic police (a week ago they ticked a friend for a stupid thing about papers), but I've been a month now in Nicaragua and i have to say that "nicas" are very hospitable people and didn't have any troubles yet.

    I'll follow you.

    Greetings from Ocotal.
