Rincon de OsaTo Puntarenas and further North to Rivas

After we missed the other 2 at the unplanned early lunch stop, we carried on passing the "Old Jet" as per pic and waited on the the way to the town of Jaco for them. Passing large Palm-oil Plantations on a good new road up the coast arrived "Jaco" which has great surfing breaks and board builders on the side of the main road. From there we carried on to Puntarenas and found a great hotel with a pool and nice out look of the sea.
Decided not to take the ferry crossing, so continued up to Liberia and the Nicaragua border.
At the border the Costa Rican side was a breeze, when one arrived at the Nicaragua side, you are shunted from one window to the next, first your bike gets fumigated again 3.50 Us, then  police  check your passport and you get a stamp for 12 Us and fill in a form, then to customs to check luggage (didn't check ours) and another stamp, then off to another window to get the bike papers checked, Marco & Stan went  through without a hassle, when she saw me, I think my size intimated her, found a fault on bike papers, which had Steyn LJ and passport had full names, so her answer was I was not the correct owner and would not let me into Nicaragua. The more a said I was in transit and needed to go through the more she pushed my paperwork back at me. Luckily I went into the next office and asked if any body spoke English and found a nice officer who did, explain my problem and he then spoke to the customs lady, who still insisted that I go to the back of the long line of people. Then had to pay 5 Us for road tax, 12 Us for insurance 1 Us for another unknown tax, Then the Stan saga begins, his bike number plate was checked in Cape Town by customs and at all the other border posts that we been thru on route, only to be stopped  at the Nicaragua entry post by an very observant border guard  to find out that his number plate on bike reads NZD & on his paperwork is  NDZ, well  he was luckily enough to meet a local fast talking guy called "Charlie"  who had to grease a few palms & his own to sort Stan's problem out and after a hour or so we were on our way North again. Stopped off about 40km's from the border a great Lake side resort looking towards Isda de Ometepe and the two volcanoes, the resort also turn out to be a baseball academy  and was training about 40 young .Nicaragua guys in the art of playing baseball which is Nicaragua main sport, then boxing and then only soccer.
