     Thanks Ian – I appreciate your help, but I have already left Nicaragua, my blog is not up-to-date at the moment.
     Have a great day……Cheers Heike

   Thanks Heike, for the interesting read and wonderful visual tour. I want to say I love the night/street photography but really can’t separate them from the rest, they are all special. Hope the countries coming up give you a little more freedom to travel and camp as you like. Glad you are safe and still going.
   Take Care.

   It’s always a treat following your adventures, Heike. I’ve long dreamed of riding south from home in Tucson, to Panamá and beyond, and have wondered about pedaling through Honduras and El Salvador. Thanks for sharing!

   What a cycling journey is Honduras. The solo female cyclist make this thing east for me to go to Honduras without a thought. The photo you share on this article is really awesome. Thanks for share this kind of useful article.

   When I rode through El Salvador in 2015 it was a country on the stage to prosperity. People came back from the U.S. because it was unsafe there for them and much safer in El Salvador. I had the impression that people just worked for their future. I stayed in the Tortuga Verde, a hostel at the Pacific ocean where I had a very nice and impressing time. Nearly the opposite to Honduras where I felt that people are scared by each other. So far those both countries impressed me just oppositely. When I felt save in El Salvador I was very cautiously in Honduras. If you can change your plans you should ride the Ruta de Flores in El Salvador: https://ghondi.wordpress.com/tag/el-salvador/

   Cheers, Jörg.

   Zunächst muss ich zugeben, dass ich bei diesem Satz herzlich lachen musste: My own country collection scheme is to spend at least one night in a country outside of the airport, then it counts as a traveled country. Super! Den mag ich. Den sollte ich zu meinem Mantra machen. ???

   Dein Bericht hat mich aber auch etwas verunsichert. Ich hatte ein bisschen die Hoffnung, dass es in El Salvador und Honduras zwischenzeitlich besser geworden ist und habe irgendwo mal gehört, dass Guatemala mittlerweile gefährlicher sein soll. Weit entfernt von Faktenwissen und auch völlig unbestätigt. Ich bin zwar nicht wie du mit dem Fahrrad unterwegs, aber dennoch female solo traveller mit ordentlich Reiseerfahrung im Backpack. Vielleicht sollte ich die beiden Länder doch lieber ausklammern? ?

     Hi Manu,

     da hätte ich an Deiner Stelle auch lachen müssen…..nach so langer Zeit auf der Straße und in einer Gegend die man nicht so toll findet, da fängt man an Spielchen zu machen 🙂
     Ich persönlich glaube nicht dass Honduras so gefährlich ist wie behauptet wird…..wenn dann nur in bestimmten Gebieten, aber ich kann es schlichtweg nicht mit Sicherheit beurteilen. Mir ist nichts passiert und ich habe auch keine seltsame Situation erlebt.

     Viel Glueck in Mittelamerika….LG Heike
