Crossing Honduras
This is a top pick! ... various beers. Our main objective this week, however, was to dip our toes in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean on Honduras' northern coast. Unfortunately, the rainy season hasn't quite ended here - which has meant stormy seas and cloudy days - so ...
Certified!!!
This is a top pick! As of this afternoon, I now have my Open Water Certification to scuba dive to 60 feet. The whole experience was really cool even though a lot of it was developing skills needed for rare emergency situations. Tomorrow, I have 2 free "fun dives" where I ...
SCUBA fun!!
This is a top pick! After our wonderful day yesterday (not really) we decided to get out of La Ceiba and go to Utila in the Bay Islands. We got an early taxi to the ferry with a French Canadian (FC from now on) for the hour long ride across the water. We didn´t like ...
Roatan - A Caribbean Paradise
This is a top pick! After our escapades in La Ceiba, we were only too pleased to finally arrive on the island of Roatan. With no shortage of taxi drivers meeting the ferry and jostling to compete for business we were soon whisked away to West End Village, reputedly the ...
The Last Stop
This is a top pick! Todd Said: It was only fitting that in getting to the final stop of our entire RTW adventure we'd have to pay the piper one last time. The fare; thirteen hours of bus time on three separate coaches from our departure in Managua at 5:00am to our ...
A long, hot day and now Honduras!

The best beer in Cental America
This is a top pick! ... just in time and this was a good thing because the next bus came by at 1pm. It was a long bumpy ride to Marcala, Honduras. There were no customs or immigration offices along this route so we never officially checked back into the country, and the ride in ...

Diving!
This is a top pick! Two days of traveling brought us to Utila, Honduras, one of the Bay Islands, famous for its cheap diving courses. Today (wednesday) we start with the theory, tomorrow more theory and diving skills in shallow water, on day three we ll be diving twice to 12 ...
Scuba Duba Dooo!
This is a top pick! ... the tag we planted. Before I got here, spent a week in Tegucigalpa, or Tegus as it's known locally, it's the capital of Honduras and I'd never even heard of the place b4! It must be the most random capital in the world! So I had another weeks ...
Tom becomes Scuba Steve
This is a top pick! From Copan we took an infamous chicken bus (google them they are fantastic) to La Ceiba to get a ferry across to Utila. We were highly recommended Utila from fellow travellers and we fully expected another paradise island similar to Caye Caulker.....oh ...
Copan is cool too!
This is a top pick! ... black beard. I looked ridiculous. We didn't leave the room again that night. *** The border crossing into Honduras was pretty easy. There were four windows. Enter Honduras, Leave Honduras, Enter Guatemala, Leave Guatemala. It ...
Let's go diving
This is a top pick! I have been on the move since my last update from Copan. After a couple days in San Pedro Sula, Honduras' 2nd largest city, I traveled to the small village of Omoa, right on the Caribbean Sea. I haven't seen the Atlantic Ocean since I left Belize and the ...

Honduras´ Capital City
This is a top pick! After a 10 hour overnight bus from Trujillo, I arrived in Tegucigalpa, the busy capital city of Honduras. There really isn´t all that much to see or do here but I wasn´t ready to ride any more buses today to get to Nicaragua. So I just had a look around ...
Welcome to Honduras!
This is a top pick! So even though we were sad to leave Guatemala, we immediately found Honduras to be an equally amazing place and, at least near Copan, even more friendly than Guate...hard to imagine! We hopped a microbus from Antigua to Copan Ruinas that took about ...
Recovering in Copan Ruinas
This is a top pick! ... to try and sleep the entire journey (oblivious bear for a reason girls!). By the time we reached the border crossing for Honduras we were a little late but the guards eventually allowed us to pass through - so no stay in Guatemala City required! ...
Utila

The magical island of Utila
This is a top pick! Well I left Utila, a week late never-the-less, but at least I actually made it back to the mainland (some still haven't been found after they left Water Caye after SunJam!!) Over three weeks on a Carribean island really is a tonic for the body and the ...
An aptly-named cloud forest
This is a top pick! 12/10 -Today was a travel day. 3 buses but good connections. The passing scenery was amazing, well at least what I could see of it the windows of the bus were nasty! Gracias, which I like to call garcias for some reason is a quiet town that will be ...
re-start of travels part deux
This is a top pick! ... every good skating spot. The hostal tamarindo seems like the place where people stay at after leaving Utila and to get out of Honduras.. I met a couple of travelers with great tips for what's up ahead in my plans.. And the town its in isn't interesting ...
likkle backpacker island
This is a top pick! A tip from one traveler I received at the hostel turned out to be outdated, I was told there was a cheap bus to la ceiba just a few blocks away, it seems like all the backpackers are happy to get taxis around town, I chose to skateboard to this bus ...
now officially advanced..
This is a top pick! I'm now certified as an advanced diver, in reality far from being an expert, I'm still a novice but just less likely to panic and do damage under the water than a beginer. The course takes only 3 days and includes a night, a wreck, navigational, drift ...
my Ruta Maya is now complete
This is a top pick! Copan has such a warm, pleasant and friendly character to it, I was lucky to have blue skies most of the week and the temperature was never too hot or too cold. After I left Utila I immediatly went in search of a camera to replace my waterlogged ...
Civilizations: Ancient and Modern
This is a top pick! ... Honduras, like the rest of our world, is now part of a new global economy and inter-related civilization. The economy of Honduras has long been influenced and controlled from the US - mainly through companies such as Standard Fruit and United Fruit - ...
Carribean Dreaming......Or not!!
This is a top pick! Our guidebook reads that Tela is everyones favourite Carribean beach town, ok we thought, instead of heading straight up to La Ceiba and taking a ferry across to the Bay Islands as planned, we would stop in Tela on the way. Mmmmm, we arrived, ...
Kinda like flying to the capital city
This is a top pick! ... ride from Utila to the mainland, we took a taxi to the luxury bus line for the long trip to Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras. We have been making a point to avoid capital cities thus far in our travels since neither of us care for big cities, but it ...
We have de-railed..............
This is a top pick! Stayed in Tegucigalpa (Tegus) for a couple of nights and opted for the cheapest thing we could find...we were, no doubt, in the ghetto. We got to the city about 7pm and caught a taxi to the hotel where we then decided we would go explore....come to find ...
