Semana Santa fun and Games
We have come to Comayagua because on friday night they spend 10 hours or more making sawdust carpets and other street art for a parade that we think is going to be all done by 10 in the morning. However, before they start to make the carpets they have ...
Kayaking and Snorkeling at Playa El Chepas
Dnes odpoledne me zacne vyuka potepeni, takze rano se domlouvam se svym spolubydlicim Alonsem z Costa Ricy, ze spolu vyrazime snorchlovat ke koralum. Koraly jsou opet nadherne a uz se moc tesim, az se budu potapet do metrovych hloubek a budu videt ...
San Pedro Sula to Comayagua
So we spent a couple of days in SPS...after the hangover, mostly taking in Honduras´ second city which is very much set out in the plan of a US city (i.e. blocks, streets and avenues). We decided the most interesting way to head down to visit the ...
Whale Sharks? Whale Sharks!
... of Utila. Utila is the nearest of the three Bay Islands-Caribbean Islands under the dominion of the government of Honduras. A true pirate refuge, Utila is a densely forested, terrestrial animal and plant paradise, but its biggest attraction is the ...
This quaint village is a colonial gem
Yuscaran was a charming colonial village perched on the edge of a mountain at an altitude of 1000 metres. In its day this small picturesque town was an important mining centre. Its quaint cobble-stoned streets were a joy to walk around, while ...
Pics from Semuc and travel to Copan Ruinas
... in a small van with 12 seats. lol. Anyway border was uneventful, pay to get out of Guatemala and pay to get into Honduras. Arrived in Copan Ruinas at about 8PM. Found a cool little hotel, nice restaurant, nice bar, and decent room with ...
Bus adventures,Maya ruins and a leftover hurricane
Our first experience on a ¨luxury¨class bus (to Copan) was not exactly the epitome of customer service. In La Ceiba, we went with some friends to the Hedman Alas bus terminal, home of first class buses which would take us to Copan, six hours ...
Utila
Bon... Ce qu`on pensait etre une destination de reve c`est avéré plutot décevant! Pas vraiment de plages, pas de beau snorkeling, tout axé vers la plongée (qui selon plusieurs n`en valait pas la peine non plus) et, des 3 jours que nous ...
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 ...
The town of painters
La Palma - Not much to say, there isn't much here. Most of the town are artisans, which makes for an interesting town. Where in most of El Salvador there is no decoration on the walls of homes save maybe an old picture or two, here are painting ...
Honduran Hombres
... , the difficulty in looking above our chests, the hooting, the flirting..... We had been warned about the machismo in latin america, but Honduras was the first country where we felt like it was really blatant. I guess this is just a taste of things ...
Where Hope Began
... Esperanza feels like no where else in Honduras. In fact, it's almost like a little piece of Guatemala plopped down in Honduras. The reason is simple: while most Hondurans are mestizos, La Esperanza province is largely indigenous. Their bright garments are ...
Swimming with the Fishes
The internet here is having issues. Its all dial-up at the moment. Sorry for the short entry but I can't be bothered to sit here for 2 hours. Its too nice outside! Utlia is beautiful. Much like Caye Caulker but ...
Playa, pescados y adventura
Salut tout le monde, Comment allez-vous??? Pour ma part, je vais super bien. Le voyage a Amapala s'est déroulé sans problème. Je vous raconte: Tout a commencer par un voyage de 2h30 dans une bus "top confort" muni d'immenses fenêtre me ...
Goodbye......
... eat it all, not before smearing some of the icing all over each others (and ours!) faces. This is a kind of tradition in Honduras where the cake receiver has their face either pushed into the cake or just some of the icing wiped on their face. Fair does! ...
Relaxation at last
... families) in a nice area, its a big city with lots of ammenities and is close to all the bits of Honduras we are interested in seeing. So fingers crossed for some positive news, we are meeting our coordinator tomoorrow, who inconveniently ...
Mayan Ruins at Copan
... Antigua, which is our next and final destination. Copan Ruinas is a small charming town with steep cobbled streets in Honduras' western highlands. Although much smaller in scale compared to Tikal's ruins, these ruins impress with their detailed and deep ...
Honduras
I rise early on the 27th and aim to make it to Copan Ruinas a colonial town set right next to a set of specatular Mayan ruins which more importantly are only 3kms from the Guatemalan border. Considering my modes of transport and lack of spanish ...
Snorkeling y dinner on the dock
We had a mellow day. Still trying to recover from our travel time and crazy night. We spent a few hours swimming and snorkeling at Half Moon Bay, a beautiful beach just a few minutes from our house. The girls had a great time checking out the ...
Kayaking, Snorkeling & Sundowners
Today we stuck around the house for most of the day. We took our 2 kayaks out from our dock to do a little snorkeling. We saw some pretty fish, but had a hard time getting good pics of them. It was a little windy which made for tougher ...
The Banana Republic
... so long in Guatemala that i now have limited time in the other countries, but it is an impressive place. Our first night in Honduras (named by Christopher Columbus after the deep waters off the coast - as it is translated as depths in Spanish) was meant ...
Into the capital and out again!
I actually went to Honduras twice, once in 2004 and again in 2005. We flew from Atlanta to Miama and on into Honduras. We then rode for 5 hours on washboards..i mean roads...to get to Gualaco. We worked from there. The first trip I ...
Stop Number Three
This is a top pick! In Puerto Cortez, we transfered to a minibus to San Pedro Sula. The best part? It was air conditioned! ...
Stop Number Four
This is a top pick! We arrived at the main terminal here, and found our next bus to La Cieba. A one-hour layover gave us a chance to take care of errands -- food, ATM, and (very very sadly) discovering that Chicago will not be hosting the Olympics in 2016. :( ...
Stop Number Five -- Almost there!
This is a top pick! We arrived in La Ceiba around 9 or so at night. We'll spend the night here, and meet up with Stephanie tomorrow to go to Utila. ...
Hot 'n Wet ....the Weather Unfortunately
... that almost everybody speaks English even though Spanish is still officially their first language. In Guatemala (and other parts of Honduras) almost nobody spoke English so I was forced to communicate in roughly kindergarten-level Spanish most of the way. ...
Overnight to West Bay
Today we took an overnight excursion to Infinity Bay at West Bay. A beach we have been to a few times so far. There is a very nice resort there and we had previously asked if we could use the pool if we had lunch there. The answer was ...
Swimming with the Dolphins
I've always thought about it, but didn't think I would ever do it. Swimming with dolphins usually entails paying a lot of money and then jumping into a pool or confined area with several other people and a few dolphins. And in my messed up, sometimes ...
