El Salvador
Took several hours to get into the country. Very friendly but not used to tourists and especially using their own transport coming into their country. 12 or so years ago this country was in a war but is recovering well.
After checking into a safe but poor hotel I got on the road this morning and was approached by two bad lads in a pick-up. Knew instantly they were after me so made a run for it and they tries to pull me of my bike but missed - silly chucks - but as I sped off a lorry overtook me and scraped my side. I survived by reacting very quickly.
On the road now to the northern frontier with Quatamala then Mexico through the night to the USA. I must say I am looking forward to getting the US, it’ll be an easy run to Toronto. Job nearly done. Book looking fantastic.
