That's a shame guys..but as you say you will be more savvy now! My experience at the Nicaragua 🇳🇮 into Costa Rica 🇨🇷 border on the Pan American highway ( in the dark!) was being told I didn't have the right documentation...cue images of massive fine or a night in a Central American jail!. A heavily armed Nicaraguan border guy saw my dilemma..called me over and told me to join a different que for passport etc. He shook my hand, nodded to the passport lady who stamped my passport and waved me through ..the security guy just said enjoy your trip! Phew...my point is there are plenty of good guys too! Lake Nicaragua is vast and a boat trip round it's many little islands is interesting...plus many volcanoes of course. Nice video as ever 👍, Cheers Steve 💚
Yeah, you’ll see in the next video that we didn’t entertain any helpers… 😂 There have been one or two decent guys that just wanted to help but these guys were on another level.
Shame you got scammed at a border , just put it down to you paid a guy for a border crossing story and some lessons .. still loving this series and your honesty ..
Yep. We were grizzling about it for a few days, particularly as it had seemed to ruin our funny experience of popping out into no man’s land, but with the heat and the bewilderment they just capitalised on that. A lesson learnt and it didn’t happen again!! 😂 😂
It was about $65, so not the end of the world in the grand scheme of things. Just an expensive error of judgement on our part. However, on the plus side it’s made us much more savvy at borders! 👍
Chins up, best feet forward 😉😎
Yep. All part of the learning curve. Was just a bit depressing that day.
Sounds like you handled it well. Sadly these people exist but glad it didn’t cost you much and you could move on. Great video again
I guess they’re just trying to make a living but the way they go about it isn’t great. In 40 degree heat we were just totally unprepared!

Unpleasant bump in the road. Glad you weren’t taken for more, but I can understand how the principle of it all rubs you wrong.
