Overland Journey On The Pan American Highway | Traveling Nicaragua | Extending CA4 Tourist Visa Ep55

[@belizeguy]

I admire the fact that you guys are fearless when pursuing surf and other adventures . Fantastic episode . Thanks

[@henryi9738]

Nicaraguan expat here. You guys were so honest to inform that lady of the bumper bender. Shame she was dishonest and tried to swindle you guys. Unfortunately, some dishonesty is still ingrained into the culture of Nicaragua and much of Latin America. BTW, I really enjoy your vlogs and hope your travels go well, take care.

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

Thanks Henry. We just wanted to do the right thing. It just ended up being a little more complicated than I expected. I was really happy with the professionalism of the police though. I lived in Nicaragua for a year 8 years ago and feel like the police conduct has improved since then.

[@projectnerdvana2820]

Exactly. Lived in Managua for 2 years with a registered CR-V. Bad luck has it i had like 3 beers and baked up into a motorcycle. 3 scratches and the other tried to do the same. They were politically motivated since they couldn't get money out of me and cops took my license.

[@gabrielmedrano3949]

Great patience by both at the border crossings and limited spanish, you guys are great love the videos. Thanks

[@SAtoday]

Thank you for all the videos. Really love it

[@justincoleman2740]

Woohoo That chill spot that you found looked sweet. Nice to decompress after weary road miles. Stoked for next episode!

[@BruceandKrista]

Great video! Always looking forward to the days where your videos come out 😎

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

thanks

[@teleroi]

That left point looked like it had serious potential on a south swell. YEW!

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

Yeah. it looked like a promising set up. Needed more west in the swell, or just a bigger south west and it may have been on, but that's how it goes when you're just passing though.

[@simply_diecast_3349]

Great vlog love your 🐕, enjoy your travel threw Nicaragua and be safe.

[@corbinadams1600]

Love the adventures! Keep it up ,also great truck ,my 96t100 4x4 has almost half a million miles and still going! 480'000+ and still goes anywhere

[@jasminel.4778]

I cant get enough of Nicaragua

[@grahames9228]

Nice vlog this one, plenty of variety as well as some nice isolated coastline.

[@la_veroynomas]

Nice! Good thing you two miss the raining season.

[@WingsandWheelsAlaska]

crazy that you had to settle with the owner of that car. Dream trip!

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

Dream trip for sure! I had been wanting to do this for years, but just never made it happen.

[@siestam44]

I hope you made a note of where that left point set up was at 12:14! Looked like it had potential

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

Yeah. A few spots with potential out there, but not the most swell exposed part of the coast. Definitely have some Areas I would like to explore more if I'm ever there with a swell.

[@mrsmahern]

That bumper lady was ridiculous! And the timing for waves not so good. But overall things went your way. Loved how you just made it under that fallen tree! And your excellent paperwork skills satisfied the police. Gotta say, (is this silly?) I love Amie’s different hairstyles and cute bathing suits!

[@franklinbrown8417]

I agree about the bumper...

[@michaelkurz9067]

I had several chances to travel long periods of time outside of the U.S(Heck No) good luck to you both

[@jayjeep6178]

Great video guys as always. As an ocean kayak fisherman , if it don’t feel right meaning the ocean ,there is no disgrace in surf casting.

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

Thanks Jay. There are plenty of times when I choose to surf cast instead of heading out with the speargun, but when it comes to surfing I can usually get comfortable in the waves. Nicaragua has been challenging me though, with some long paddle outs and no other surfers in sight. All part of the adventure :)

[@theheepjeep]

Awesome opening view! Bummer on the fender bender drama, people try to get real greedy at times.

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

Those sunrises were awesome. The fender bender was frustrating, but it was my fault and it could have gone worse if the police officers wanted to be shady, so I wasn't too bummed about it by the next day.

[@theheepjeep]

@@TheTravelingTogetherJournal agreed, glad it ended there. Id think the insurance would be there to take care of it but oh well.

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

Yeah. Gotta just accept it as a leaning experience and move on

[@donnyhodges3200]

Hey I’m on when you release the new video. I’m going to enjoy my cigar and watch the new episode. Awesome.

[@aardvarkiller8133]

6:03 good, I was getting nervous.

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

haha. Always be prepared, right?

[@alfredobrown]

I commend you for having waited for the truck owner to deal with the damaged you caused to her vehicle. I am pretty sure that if it had been the other way around, she probably would driven off.

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

probably. I'm just not that smart I guess. Haha😅

[@jsirkerp]

Hi! What was the name of the place where you camped several days and liked so much in Masaya?! Safe travels!!

[@thomasdipaolo2349]

New sub. Look fwd to following travels

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

welcome aboard!

[@donnyhodges3200]

Haha lots of beer is right!!

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

Gotta be prepared ;)

[@donnyhodges3200]

@@TheTravelingTogetherJournal indeed you do.

[@petegeorge3084]

Including the bumper incident how much money you spent to get out of sticky situation?

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

The bumper cost me $150 usd... I think that's it. We never paid any bribes or "fines" to police. We got tricked out of $20usd at the Mexican border, but we didn't realize it until we were trying to leave Mexico, so nothing we could do about it. As a rule, we would have to feel pretty stuck or in danger before we would consider "greasing the gears" and lucky for us we never felt it was necessary.

[@MaxZomboni]

The Traveling Together Journal On the bright side, if it happened in the US, that damage would have cost you about $1,500 or maybe $600 of increased insurance rates, if you went that route.

[@elidadeiulio792]

I am so sorry that that happened to you guys the police there are a bunch of crooks I am glad they didn’t put you in jail

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

I felt like the policeman was just doing his job and they just do things differently there. On the plus side, I wasn't hassled by the police this time nearly as much as I was during my first visit to Nicaragua 7 years ago.

[@elidadeiulio792]

The Traveling Together Journal I’m glad

[@erichughes9098]

😎🌮👍

[@calderon149]

The fact that your camera is rolling sweetie is what stops the corruption if it was never on and recording u would get the biggest multa ever and then offered a side deal not to deal with the whole ticket nonsense just pay them on the side

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

Has that worked for you? seems like an easy solution if you just need to have a dash camera to avoid all multa.

[@megadago100]

How much you end up paying the piece of 💩 woman?? People like that make me so angry. Good luck you guys. Love watching your videos!👍

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

We eventually got her to settle for the equivalent of $200 Usd. That was reasonable, but she started out a lot higher. Glad you're enjoying the show!

[@moxieman3304]

That lady was a sandinista, that is why she scammed you any decent Nicaraguan would've never done that to you

[@cudjoechick1097]

This doesn’t look so fun.

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

its not for everyone.
