I'm curious, are there no tourist attractions worth visiting in Honduras?
Kim's fried bananas look better, sorry Naick!
Congratulations on successfully entering Nicaragua!
BTW, this year’s Miss Universe has just been announced, and she is Miss Nicaragua. I think you should see many beauties there!
You did a really great job again, thanks a lot for sharing! Happy travels! 👍🥰🙏
There are many nice things to see in Honduras too! But since we cannot use the fuel in Honduras or in Nicaragua because it would be really bad for our van, we could not make major detours. If we were to carry even more fuel in water jugs in our shower, we would look even more suspicious to border patrol for sure ;)
@@NaickKim Thanks a lot for telling me, you are very nice! Take good care! 👍🥰❤
@@NaickKim Honestly dude, screw these places. The food looks like butt and the banana republic uniform squatamalans power tripping about documents when their feral savages can barely read? Forget it! Show us something nice!
Most underrated travel channel... Congrats on making it across the challenging border!
thank you! 🥰🥰🥰🥰👀👀
So glad you made it through! Looking forward to the rest of your trip. I've been watching all along :)
🥰🥰 thank youuuu!
Glad you made it across the border! Who would have thought that you can’t have a drone of all things! I hope you have a plan to find additional clean gas for Vinny! Stay safe you guys!
Hi, yes you have good luck, with this border pass sure yo will made it until Argentina.
Expecting you in colombia, greetings (y un abrazo belga)
I hope so too!
Glad you made it ❤
🥰🥰
Oh man, that brings back memories! I did El Salvador to Nicaragua by bus back in New Years Eve 2021. Add a layer of Covid complexity. The Hounduras border was a nightmare because it was Dec 31st so it took almost 4 hours. We also got to Nicaragua in the evening and it was exactly like you experienced it. Thank god I filled out that 7 day form in advance but they were still very strict and a lady tried to keep change from me for apayment. Igot irritated about it and then she relented, came out to the bus and gave me my change. Once I got in to the country I had a great time but that day was something else.
Wow nightmare crossing it will warn others what to expect 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I like how respectful you are of countries' rules; many people would have been so cocky that they would try to sneak the drone into Nicaragua. (I don't travel with those people!) I'm always so happy when I see a new post from you, thank you for livening up my humdrum life! Oh, and “We get to do our favorite thing, driving at night on small, dodgy roads.” You guys are so effortlessly hilarious! 😂🥰
Oh thank you so much 🥰 yes I have never been happier to play by the rules than I was when they asked me where the drone was 😂 I would have been a nervous MESS if we still had it with us because I can't lie either
@@NaickKimoye pero no es prohibido meter drones acá solo tienes que probar que lo usarás para fines recreativos como tus vídeos, y yo prefiero que el control sea así de seguro si no tuviéramos maras. Y delincuencia excesiva como en otros paises, acá por eso es bastante seguro.
@@NaickKimno hubieran tenido problemas con el dron pero si tienen un controlador de drones y no reportan el dron es algo de lo que podrían sospechar jj saludos
@@Rgtheone Gracias.
Woohoo,, grateful you made it to Nicaragua🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
🎉 Woohooo
So clever to have sent the drone on to Costa Rica and not decide to trick the border guards, which I probably would have done (and then got caught).
That was an amazingly beautiful border crossing between El Salvador and Honduras.
Love this video! Such a great edit, all the graphics, the story telling, I'll bet this took a long time to edit! Super impressive!!! And on the journey.... we felt the exact same entering Nicaragua!!! It took us 8 hours to get into the country becuase of our dog 😮 so so so exhausting!!! I'm amazed how in good spirits you were at the end of the day. Seasoned pros for sure!!!!
Thanks so much guys! Omg... 8 HOURS?! 😮😮 that's crazy!
Hey guys, the tortillas or the pupusas did not reach Ecuador, not sure about Panama, Costa Rica, nor before.
Thanks for sharing the good, the bad, the best, the beauty, the ugly, the worse, and the fun.
See you both in “Tierra Del Fuego” ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍
After all of that, you finally made it into Nicaragua! Whew! I was getting nervous for you guys! So glad it all worked out. 😅❤
Yes! Thank you!
🎉🎉🎉Congrats! Finally made it through Nicaragua 👍👍👍Bon voyages ❤️
Yay! Thank you!
What a nightmare at that last border crossing. At least you guys got in. Could have been such a different story.
Yay! You made it! I was a little worried for you.
Not gonna lie, so was I 😅😂
Can't wait for Argentina!!!!
Me neither 🇦🇷
Ik ben blij voor jullie dat jullie na 5 uur wachten toch goed in Nicaragua geraakt zijn. Wees voorzichtig en kijk al uit naar jullie volgende avonturen. Groetjes, Gilberte
Wow glad they let you guys in also of travelers don't have that luck. Be safe
A way to solve this is take a ferry on El Salvador to Costa Rica
We are trying to drive from Alaska to Argentina. So we will do all the border crossings that we can, even the tough ones 😉
It wouldnt have mattered that much if you had filled in the form beforehand, we did and it took us about 3 hours to cross that same border. They checked all our luggage too and had to empty out the car completely. On the way back (we crossed back into Honduras) it took 4,5 hours and it was absolutely terrible - the aduana even gave us a 5 days stamp to leave the CA4 without us knowing it - this border is 100% stress. Glad you made it !!
All me gear is strapped to back of bike. Only once has customs gone through it and that was Indians when I was leaving India
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
That is how many other Latin American countries used to be like in the past. Sad that Nicaragua is still like that. It seems to be a beautiful place as far as I have read and seen pictures of.
Your face in the thumbnail says it all 😝
True! 😂😂
Nice!
I would like to travel and put some excitement in my life. But not like this. Thank you.
It's not all sunshine and rainbows :D But the pros far outweigh the cons.
Really interesting video. All things considered glad things went smoothly even though they also went slowly.
Spanish! All of my employees are Colombians and a vaca someday🎉
That sounds like a great plan! :)
never heard of this much trouble seems fishy ,suspect
They probably thought we were fishy. Can't blame them :D
@@NaickKim much easy without car maybe van smelled like fish and they were looking for food
Why did you guys basically skip Honduras?
Because of the fuel situation that we mentioned in the video :) the diesel in Honduras and Nicaragua is too poor quality for modern vehicles and would WRECK our van, so we had to take fuel from El Salvador and store it in the shower to (hopefully) have enough to get until Costa Rica... But we can't take unlimited amounts either, so we had to be efficient in our route down. Imagine the look on border patrol's police if the van was stacked with diesel :D
@NaickKim thank you for that info! That makes complete sense
You're welcome 🤗 that way we also have a country to go back to in the future 😉
Para ingresar a USA es peor, ahí te interrogan un montón, además de que te ven como delincuente y es una pesadilla, entonces todo país tiene requisitos para que ingresen a sus naciones, eso es obvio, las autoridades de los países no pueden saber que clase de personas sos sin interrogante, sin revisar lo que llevas, no saben tus intenciones. Lo lógico es seguir las reglas que pone cada país, así que no hay que exagerar, porque un latino para ingresar a USA o Canadá de manera legal, es una odisea, asi que los países latinos también pueden poner sus reglas estrictas para que ingresen a sus países. Lo bueno es que lograron ingresar y ahora estan bien en Nicaragua. Saludos.
😂😂😂you did not put money in your passport lol 🙏🙏🙏
😂😂
Oh man..what a nightmare travel day! Glad you guys made in through safely. 🎉
Would have 💩 our pants at that border for sure.
Border security are the type of people that make you feel convinced that you've done something wrong, even when you haven't.
They always have me questioning myself..like, "maybe I DO have a kilo of cocaine hidden in my bum, and I just forgot? 😰!"...
😂😂
5 uur als er niemand voor je staat, stel je voor dat er dan nog maar 2 mensen voor je staan... een file van pakweg 20 man dat is genoeg om gewoon te kunnen terugkeren omdat je vakantietijd er al op zit... Blij voor jullie dat het dan toch gelukt is! Vragen ze dan of je cash bij hebt om te zien of je hen eventueel zou willen omkopen hoor de welbegeerde stempels?
Ik denk dat het deels is zoals in bv de US, waar ze ook vragen dat je bij de douane aangeeft als je meer dan 'x' duizend euro cash bij je hebt. Maar wij dachten inderdaad ook even dat het de smeergeld-kant op ging. Uiteindelijk... is er toch alleszins niets gevraagd/zelfs niet meer gehint. Misschien hadden we wat 'welkom'-briefjes in de camionette moeten leggen toen ze gingen inspecteren 😂🚐🤪
Disinfecting the van? Are they stupid or what?
Sorry for all that you had to go truth, but even whit Nicaragua passport they asks you for phone number the address and search your bags, on the end Welcome to Nicaragua.
Thanks, happy we made it in. We really enjoyed Nicaragua a lot!
Imagine if you had to go to work everyday
Yeah we tried that for 6 years, so we can vividly imagine. A bad day of travel beats a good day in the office :D
They were looking for money not cameras. That was ridiculous!
Yeah we keep looking for it as well. :D
:)
Hi Jon! How are you? :)
@@NaickKim Hello. I'm doing okay. Trying to get ready for winter. I hope you guys are well :)
@@JonMadsen70 we are doing great. I just checked the weather for Hope, I was expecting snow there this time of year, but not yet apparently :)
@@NaickKim Which I'm ok with... I'm still getting my firewood stacked for the season lol
Hi, happy to hear that you crosses into Nicaragua. Probably you already know but you will bring tourists to all this region in the future. Also you are discovering a way for future generations to travel in all America. Not sure about your plans for Argentina but take a look to Route 40, en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Route_40_(Argentina). Be safe. ❤️ 🇳🇮
