Last night my girlfriend and I were driving home from Casco Viejo. Casco Viejo is an old part of town where there are some bars, restaurants and areas which are questionable. If you are not careful, it easy to get lost and end up in the wrong neighborhood.
We were dropping off a friend so we followed the GPS and took a route we were unfamiliar with. First we drove the wrong direction on a one-way street. A minute later, the street begin to split and I swerved a little as I tried to decide which way to go.
Immediately after, the cops pull us over. It was two young guys with machine guns, pointed in our direction, but at the ground. We decide to speak NO spanish to the cops. They eventually told us to get out the car. We told them that we were lost and we were following our GPS. After realizing we were telling the truth, the cops relaxed and explained to us how to get home.
I'm happy to say that they did NOT ask for money, nor did they even bother to check our ID.
Until I get to know Casco Viejo real well, I will take taxis in and out of there.
