1) La Cruz isn't that interesting.

3) You basically have two full days. There's more than enough to see and do in Nicaragua to keep you occupied.
Alright fair enough, sorry I tend to overthink a lot of things which is why I rely on FT to keep me grounded. Though as to your second point, you actually can. It's in the the terms of my rental contract:

Cross border traffic is not allowed into South America and Mexico. Cars allowed into all Central American countries. Permit to drive outside the country (to Central American Nations) = 50.00 non-taxable. Call 011-505-255-9000 (from U.S. call 305-537-1374) for cost and requirements between the hours of 0800 - 1800 Mountain time.
