Day 55: Liberia, Costa Rica -> Montelimar, Nicaragua
With a 6:30 travel meeting scheduled we got up at 4:30 to get ready to go. The night had been filled with very gusty winds and the trees hitting against the RV, so I hadn’t had a restful night.
We drove to the border 50 some miles to the north. Along the way the strong winds continued and Dan had his awning get blown out twice. It had to be taped and tied for further travel. It also caused some damage to the air conditioner cover.
The Costa Rica / Nicaragua border crossing was a slow process, taking over 6 hours. The winds continued through the day, and at the border this created blowing clouds of dust and dirt. Finally, around 3:30 we were done and moved on.
The stop for the next three nights was Montelimar Beach Resort. We had to drive about 100 miles into Nicaragua to reach it with the final 20 miles on a rough and steep road and driven mostly after dark. The darkness made it a harder drive as there were people alongside the road to watch for (including one person laying in the road) and it also made it more difficult to find the correct turns.
We all made it in around 7:30, got our resort “bracelets”, parked our rigs at the casino parking lot, and took the tram to the restaurant buffet for dinner. We spent the night in our RVs but the next two nights will be within the resort itself. Not only will it be luxurious to have a room, bed and shower for two nights, we will not hear the casino music until 2AM.
