Rivas, Nicaragua to Playa del Coco, Costa Rica

Today’s journey was not a long one in terms of miles but it did feel good to cross the last border that we will do before the return journey when we will cross of them but Belize. I don’t think that we will take the RV to Panama because that will mean crossing that border and then returning and crossing the border again and you simply have no idea how much time it takes to exit one country and enter another with two vehicles (RV and motor scooter) and most of the time they have a real problem with the casa rodello..
But after two border it was only two police checks on the vehicle permit and we were on our way to Playa del Coco.
This is just west of Liberia on the Pacific ocean now and a really beautiful spot. Seems to be that the whole coast of this area is a hangout for expatriates and tourists. I think I see more foreigners here than locals. We are right on the beach with a view of the bay and harbor area. Lots of sailboats and motor cruisers here and lots of tourist restaurants and bars and gift shops. We are not in a campground or hotel tonight as I asked the locals and they said it was quite safe and we also asked permission of the local police whose station is only a hundred feet or so from the RV.
Today is a rest day again and we will try to walk into town and have laundry done and then do some shopping. The woodworking here and pottery is some of the best that we have seen.
Well time for some fun and sitting on the beach.
