TRAVELLING ON:

To Guatemala (La Hachadura): From La Libertad it's 3 hours to Sonsonate where you change buses. Then it's 1 1/2 hours to the border in Guatemala. Sonsonate looked like a nice town to stay in.

To San Miguel: Take a bus to Zacatecoluca at 9 a.m. Then catch the bus to San Miguel on the highway - it passes at about 12:30 p.m.



SAN MIGUEL:

We took a break here on the way from El Salvador to Nicaragua and thought it was not nearly as bad as the Lonely Planet makes it sound.

PLACES TO STAY:
Hotel Migueleno is \\$6.00 for a double with private bath and cable television in the room. It's removed from the street and very quiet.

PLACES TO EAT: There's a great, cheap pupusaria just east of the Bus Terminal on the south side of the road.

TRAVELLING ON:

To Honduras (El Amatillo): 2 hours. Also an easy border crossing.
