We also crossed the border into Nicaragua lovely place visited Lake Nicaragua and an active volcano and also was involved in a street crime in Grenada long story lol. Mexico I’ve been both sides Caribbean and Pacific or if you want to be exact the Sea of Cortez Pacific side was my favourite. One life, experience as much as you can before you start pissing and shitting yourself . I like them eco lodges in Costa Rica and Nicaragua with fishing thrown in , I got a door opened to go Sri Lanka with folk who live over here but can lay on a great trip staying with family that appeals the most to me in the not to distant future 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
