In San Salvador...

After Tegucigalpa we made a short stop in Perquín. Here in the mountains of El Salvador you can still find bomb craters and fox holes from the civil war in the 1980´s. We also visited the little village of El Mozote where one of the biggest massacres in the history of central america took place. - shocking!
Now we are in San Salvador, the capital of the country - shocking as well but in a different way. We are not used anymore to shopping malls, fast food chains and all this plastic shit...
In two days we will continue north again - The volcanoes are calling! (Yes it makes addictive - Good old sulfurous smell in the morning...)

Good-bye Quetzaltrekkers!

After almost 4 month the time of leaving has finally come for us. It´s a strange feeling when you have seen so many people come and go and then it is your turn - you are the one with the backpack that goes through the office door and doesn´t come back...A few tears had to run over cheeks...we miss León and QT!!!
After a looooonnnnnnggg bumpy busride we finally made it to Tegucigalpa (Capital of Honduras) yesterday evening. Fuckin´cold here (in comparison to León) but the HOT!!! shower was really great!
It´s good to be on the road again...
