Our border crossing is pretty efficient and we are in Nicaragua by midday and riding towards Granada. The police saw us coming and had a field day. We were in small groups spread out over a few hours and one by one we were picked off, fined for technicalities and fleeced of our dollars. It was only by the time we reached the hotel that we realised the full extent - over US$260 had been handed over to the police between the group! One nameless person simply paid the opening gambit of US$80 by the police!
The small Pacific beach town of San Juan delivered us the best sunset of the trip to date, combined with great strawberry daiquiri cocktails and the best seafood you will ever taste. We're all melting from the humidity, but some dive into the ocean to cool off and some stick to the naked theme - on a public beach - really!
