Something not right?
Description
4x4 with low box only. Beautiful spot right on the beach but sand very soft. We arrived at 21.30 and they cooked a wonderful fish meal for us after a horrendous border crossing where they initially refused entry into El Salvador even though we had an official permit to bring our RHD vehicle in. Problem was our UK vehicle registration states it is not proof of ownership. Eventually, with help of a fixer and a letter from a local agent requesting a 24 hour pass through the country we managed to meet with 'administration ' and persuade him that the truck was BFF ours and he gave us the full 60 day pass! Be very careful, they confiscate at least 1 car a week ( but these usually have Guatemalan or Salvador plates). I recommend using a fixer here, ours caught up with us on his motor bike, he asked $20 and I gave him $40 as without him it would have cost $600 to be escorted back to Mexico and another 90 days before we could get back into Guatemala. Meal and 3 large beers cos $25 and nothing extra to camp.
