Final log of scariest moments: CenAm edition

Made it back from long Central America trip. To follow up on the last post, a few more interesting things happen that qualify as the scariest experiences of my time in Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Per the format above:

Costa Rica
  • Centipede bite on toe in the middle of the night during a bathroom trip. He was about 3 inches long, it hurt like hell, and scared the bejeezus out of me.
Nicaragua
  • Hands down goes to the arrival of our small beach town hotel late one evening, only to find out that the American-born hotel owner has been held hostage in his (now closed, without electricity) hotel property for the last 3 months over some kind of business-gone-awry while a couple of thuggish, armed guards watching over. That was a scary conversation to have with the owner through the sealed front gate.
