Thanks El Salvador, but I wish you hadn't.

I just changed my Tica bus ticket so I can leave a day early.  Getting around seeing sights here is difficult without a whole load of $ for taxis.

To visit the local volcano just outside San Salvador, $30 each way.  It's only 4 km away.

To get to go up Santa Ana volcano outside the city of the same name it costs $50 one way.  That or catch the $1 bus which I tried to do this morning.  It didn't arrive and the next one is too late to do the trip as the authorities only allow one ascent a day.

That's all folks.

No wonder so many people don't bother visiting this country, it's ok as a stop of over night to break up long bus journeys or to re-aquaint one's self with Denny's and a variety of other large chain restaurants.  But nothing more.

I tried to meet up with some locals through couchsurfing but they all let me down in the end.

What's the point of El Salvador?
