El Salvador : Rags to Riches

So, we are in El Tunco, El Salvador. Today we moved accommodation. We arrived in El Salvador on the 10th June and had arranged the first 4 nights accommodation and airport pick up online before leaving Roatan. 
We landed in an impressive tropical storm having experienced some of the most extreme turbulence I've ever been through, it was the kind that sparked a round of applause upon landing. This was followed by a death defying drive from the airport through a breathtaking lightning storm in a more than a little ropey car. The driver, Oscar had in fact come off the road on his way to pick us up due to heavy rain, now the car was entirely objecting to third gear as well as having some kind of electrical fault, due to water in its workings.
We did however arrive eventually (in second gear) to our new home, El Balsamo hostile in El Sunzal. The owner Giji met us and we found our room and had a couple of beers at the small, keep your own tab bar. The room was basic, with several beds with mosquito nets although it was just for us, the bathroom was shared and a short trot across the garden. With a bar, skate ramp and short walk to the beach we were on to a winner. Also some really friendly people and a nice atmosphere I would definitely recommend it for very good value accommodation ($14/night). However it is rainy season, and unfortunately that means BUGS!!! We saw out our 4 nights at El Balsamo, but today decided we'd had enough of being an all you can eat buffet for mozies, gnats, fleas and ants, this was compounded by a night time visit from Mr Rat. So we searched out new digs in town out of the undergrowth. Our friendly Norwegian neighbours at El Balsamo recommended Tunco Lodge, in El Tunco, we found it and liked it, however the $20 a night room is currently occupied, so our next option was $30 for the room with on suite and air conditioning, tired, grubby and itchy we took it with the plan of moving when cheaper is avalible, we will see.....
