Salvador. Another country, whose history of recent years was a success according to the Latin American pattern. Eternal iniesprawiedliwosci inequality, evil junta ruling-country, leftist guerrilla and long-term devastating cruel war. In El Salvador, was not encountered almost no one in our way of tourists. This country does not enjoy the best recognition. Many believe firmly that there was nothing interesting to see. Is small and everything has almost no Indians (only 1% of the residents, the rest wymordowanom mainly in the 30s of the twentieth century), criminality, and not particularly high-developed tourist infrastructure.
The more curious we were to completely nieturystycznego country greeted us :-)
milo. At the border we had to pay anything is not a customs officer even gave us a beautiful map of the country. After 5 minutes, we caught a foot, later the next. And in this way nightfall found us in Sonsonate - village 60 kilometers from the capital. This is one of those places, dirty and neuter where the people rather badly with the eyes look, where the streets dominated by garbage and gray. Salwadorczycy May look quite European, Nobody asks us much attention. Besides, Martin has already disputes beard, and it would strip mounted machete stuck. Blends into the surroundings so pretty good ;-)
find a cheap hotel (5 bucks for the two of us) at some vile street. The room is large, bed comfortable, but something is wrong here ... A quick analysis ... Powerful metal doors closed window in the middle. Above them, at quite high altitude suspended kolkhoznik, from which, moreover, soon starts to emit music. Oh wait ... if by chance we do not and we're on komisariaciem or in a small prison, a hastily converted into a hotel ...? Luckily kolkhoznik be excluded, and we we can go for dinner to a nearby bar (rather than wait for the prison food which will give us the guard through the window) ... But the atmosphere of accommodation in such a place is good.
for dollar you get a big hook with a plate of chow plus drinking. We make the first purchases in the store. Price bus to the capital: 70 cents (the currency here is U.S. dollar). Our first day in this country, but we know one thing: El Salvador is CHEAP!
