Tamarindo - San Juan del Sur

Nicaragua here we are. Today is crossing border day, apparently the worst crossing of the whole trip. So we decided to take an international bus which, although being a bit more expensive, should speed up the process of crossing. It did, beside the fact that we had to wait a couple of hours on the panamericana because people kept on giving us random departure times. In late afternoon we were in San Juan del sur, the nica counterpart to Tamarindo, supposedly the best waves in the country.
Nicaragua looks and feels really different from Costa Rica, the people here are much more typed and the indio heritage is clear. Also Nica looks poorer but people are still friendly and welcoming.
