Stay at Hidden River Hotel!
Friday's are half days at school. We did our usual teaching, 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th. At this point the kids are starting to get used to us, which can be good and bad! I promised the girls that we would take a relaxing weekend in the ...
Cerro Azul
... problem. That wasn't entirely true! The steep part was steep but led to some amazing views of Lago de Yajoa, Honduras' only lake. The trail wound up in a cloud forest which offered us really unique plants and lizards that could only be ...
Beer is a religon
So we head to D and D brewing to let the rest of semana santa finish before we head to the bay islands. Its a nice enough place but the beer is okay (not as good as the stout evan) and the accomodation had suicide ants falling from the ceiling onto ...

Puhlapunzak
We got up this morning and had a nice breakfast at Hidden River Hotel. She made us American style pancakes with jam & syrup. When I was stuffed to the brim she brought out huge bowls of fresh fruit salad to top us off. Mmm... ...
Cannot get enough of D&Ds!
... , we rented row boats and rowed down the canal into the lake, which is surrounded by mountains and jungle (much like everything in Honduras!). And by "we" rowed, I mean Chad rowed me and Adrienne and Nathan rowed Alex and Anne! It is not ...
D & Dīs
... . We found a restaurant with tablecloths, napkins, and an owner that acted like he actually wanted our business! Typically, in Honduras, people act like it is a chore and a bother for them to serve you. There is absolutely no such thing ...
Lake Yojoa and Malcolm the bird man
... on and off boats and numerous chicken buses, and all on 2 hours sleep, we arrived very tired in Pena Blanca in the heart of rural Western Honduras. We'd heard about a micro-brewery here that sounded like a nice place to stay, and even though drinking was ...
Lago de Yajoa Day 1
... talking to me and we had an actual decent conversation in Spanish. Talked about our respective families, about work, about Honduras. Good stuff, confidence boost. I was starving and kept eating the street food that people bring onto the bus in baskets ...
Lago de Yajoa Day 3
... to get a good footing. After, grabbed our things we walked towards town until a taxi pulled up and quoted us a price back to Piņa Blanca. Kept walking til he lowered it enough. Back in town got a $2 plate of too-much-fried food. Blegh. Hitchhiked back to ...
Lago de Yajoa Day 2
... which was alright. Australians never know any Spanish hah. Mario and I set out around 8am and started walking down the road to Peņa Blanca, 4km away. We missed waving down the bus as it passed us so quickly. The signs at the brewery said it was okay to ...

A Nice Scare
We had to spend the night in a small town about 2 hours from the Copan Ruins, our next stop. We scouted out a few hotels and settled at a nice, clean, safe-looking hotel. We unpacked and went out to grab a bite to eat for dinner. Some of the best, most ...
Start of the Beer Tour
... really arenīt very impressive, although the Lenca themselves were responsible for an uprising that nearly removed the Spanish from Honduras, were it not for the last-minute assassination of their leader. The Lempira, Hondurasī currency, is named after ...
Rainbow hugs and blueberry pancakes
I bid adieu to the Caribbean on Thursday morning in Tela and headed west. We made our way south on a series of buses and pick-ups (ah the wind in my hair!) to Lago Yojoa in the mountains, where it rains sporatically but seriously and you get a hankering ...
Bus Bus Bus Bus
... along up the mountain. I was so surprised the cow didn't tip over. We made it to Nueva Ocotepeque, the border town in Honduras, and from there caught a bus to La Entrada. We didn't mean to get dropped off in La Entrada, especially since the Lonely Planet ...
Journey to the centre of a waterfall
From sketchy first impressions is been all good and Honduras countryside seems friendlier than both Guatemala and Belize. Our first really port of call has been Los Naranjos. Very tranquil and chilled out. Safe to wander and gingos seem welcomed and not ...
