Can you guess the link to our travels…?If you can you are better than me as I had to look it up….Comments for what you think the link is between where we are and the film.
Up Pompeii
One of the Tourist attractions of El Salvador and a town (Joya de Ceran) covered in volcanic ash. Not bad for $3usd each and $1usd for the car. Only a quick visit is required. Maybe an hour or slightly more…
Superman 4

Salvador
The easiest title for a blog based on a film title….We managed to get into El Salvador with a Right Hand Drive car but only just. You can get a letter of permission if you know the correct people. Turns…
Superman
Another failed attempt to see Superman….it wasn’t on at the time they said online. We couldn’t wait until 8:50pm as we went for the 5:50pm showing !We’ve just enjoyed a few days staying with Matthew and Jennifer where we were…

Lucky Number Slevin
Thanks to Don for picking up the English strays….His house is a bit nice…..more accurately the garden and pool. We stayed in the pool house.The views over to the Pacific are nothing but breathtaking. In fact on Simien Mountains in…
Copsbent Ones
So here he is. The little ffing copper (quite literally little) who decided to take my passport (copy) and license (fake) off to his little world for some reason.Actually I think the “reason” was we’d misunderstood their limp wrist attempt…
Costa Coffee
You cannot cross into Costa Rica from Panama at Rio Sereno near Volcan. They no longer sell insurance so will not let you into Costa Rica. Its cost us 3 hours at the border checking out and back into Panama.…
