Casa Verde La Ceiba

... troppo spesso, cosa che
una capitale non si puo' permettere e per questo che la capitale fu spostata
a guatemala city. Ad antigua incontriamo l'agente che ci aveva fatto avere
la foto della cafetera e ci fa avere un ulteriore soffiata: ha sentito
dire che la cafetera, gelosa del fatto che noi avevamo in precedenza fatto
un corso di sub (diving) voleva seguire le ...

... he tried to get out of the water. It was priceless!

We finished off our theory and after lunch, met up with Steph again to be kitted out with our gear, learn how to use the apparatus and set our equipment up and after a run through, get in the water for our first confined dive. We were all really excited but a bit nervous at the same time as no one knew how they would react breathing under water for the first time. I had some bad luck with my regulator and my ...

... down a rapid. You know, just in case. So, one at a time, we each took a turn wrapping a rope around our wrist, swimming out to the current, and allowing ourslelves to be pulled face-first over a rapid. It was rather fun!

Making our way back down the river, we found a few larger rocks to jump off of. The first was about 5 meters (15 feet) tall. It wouldn´t have been so bad, but the rock was on a slant. So to ...

... of flies crawling over it. Two hours later we were off to La Ceiba.

San Pedro Sula is the second largest city in Honduras. After passing through it we were obligated to rename it San Pedro Sewer. It was like sitting at the New River in Calexico all over again. The entire city stunk of sewage and burning tires.

By 9pm we arrived in La Ceiba, exhausted. We found a simple little rundown hotel that offered AC which we desperately needed after four days without. I did a ...

... br>We passed through just as the sun dipped below the horizon and we must have looked a sight, lugging all our excess baggage in the dark across the border. It’s moments like these, we’ll always remember.



We were stamped back into Guatemala and then faced our next problem – getting from the border to a town where we could sleep for the night. We tracked down a man with a van who, seeing our desperate situation proceeded to ...

... moth and once we done inspecting the creatures around the lodge we set out to start the ziplines! There were 8 in total, so fun! A little hike and some more info about the jungle from our guide and Isabelle after the first zipline to cross the river. Some more leaf cutter ants hard at work and a scorpion! Ate some more termites too! Finish off the ziplines, it was so cool. I felt like Tarzan flying through the jungle. The last one was the longest one and the fastest ...

... Santa recht einfach, die Zeit im Hostel auf Komaschlaf zu beschraenken. Neben gut feiern kann man hier auch gut tauchen und die diversen Tauchlaeden bieten mit die billigsten Tauchkurse weltweit, inklusive Unterkunft (normalerweise) und kostenlosen weiteren Fundives nach Beendigung des Kurses. Der Grundkurs dauert normalerweise drei bis vier Tage, bestehend aus einer Ladung Theorie und verschiedenen Tauchgaengen, wo man erst die Grundfaehigkeiten und ...

... she sat at the front of the bus with the driver until her stop. Very random. The next bit was the ferry crossing across to Roatan. We sat outside to get a better view and some sun. Sick bags were handed out and dustbins were placed in easy reach, which was a very bad sign. I could see that it was blowing a good force 5 to begin with which rapidly turned into a force 6-7 with waves for 2-3 meters high. It was heavy going. The ...

After spending more time than I planned on Utila ( This island has a way of doing that), I caught the ferry back to La Ceiba for the night. Well there I met a Dutch couple who had just got there as well and we all decided to grab dinner. La Ceiba is Honduras 3rd largest city and has many amenities just like a big city back in the states. Walking around town we decided to check out the mall ...

... seconds it took us to get there. The food was very expensive and not tasty at all. The bad thing is that we were in the jungle with no other options so we were stuck there. It definitely put a damper on things for us. The next day it was still pretty gloomy so we didn't go swimming or anything. We just heading back into town and caught a bus to the ferry terminal where we could catch the ferry to Utila!
