Laguna Verde, El Salvador: The team at it´s prime

The Salvadorians took us in with open arms, despite our racial handicap. They are a warm hearted and helpful bunch. In Guatemala, we found ourselves a Kiwi named Dan. He proved himself useful even though we couldn´t always understand him. After a few weeks we convinced him to greet Brett at the airport for us. Brett emerged from his flight and complied with our transient Kiwi with surprising ease.
We spent only a few nights in San Salvador and visited Laguna Verde, the town with the highest elevation in El Salvador. After hitching a ride down the hill we left Dan on the roadside and sped off towards the Pacific coast to El Tunco. The Beach boasted black sands and warm water, it was beautiful.
Yesterday we took a bus back to San Salvador and from there a bus to La Entrada. From La Entrada we thought we could scrounge together a ride to Copan Ruinas, which is nestled right next to the Copan Mayan Ruins. While en route, on a Hounduran mountain top, in the wind and rain, at night, our bus failed to enter a gear and rolled backwards and crunched into a semi truck. We sat for an hour while Hondurans and Salvadorians worked together to redirect traffic. Our guide book whispered to us ¨Something must have gone wrong if you´re spending the night in La Entrada...¨ Sure enough, we got a hotel in La Entrada.
Today we arrived in Copan Ruinas, Honduras and tomorrow we plan to visit the ruins.
