Day 84, Sep 24, 2013,
We wanted to go to Danli from El Progreso but not wanting to take the main Hwy we decided to go through some beautiful mountainous back roads instead. We ended up on Hwy 23/43 and some unknown road: http://goo.gl/maps/C9cTM
The first part of this road is dodging potholes and that’s not to bad and then there is a 55km stretch of hard packed dirt/gravel with boulders and 1 bolder water crossing, a real nice challenge for most.
Just as you think this will never end your rewarded with a brand new piece of super smooth tarmac twisting and turning through the mountains, and with no traffic on it, absolutely nothing, just you in the wind and the sound of your purring engine, this was like riding in paradise.
The scenery is stunning with the mountains looking like a beautiful patchwork of greens, absolutely magnificent.
Tomorrow taking the border crossing at Las Manos into Nicaragua.
