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 ...

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

A town called "thank you"!
The next stop was Gracias. This is a small colonial town in the middle of nowhere. A lot of people that I've met have raved about it but, to be honest, I didn't think that much of it. It was a bit too quite. Plus the Amish type ...
Just hopped across to Honduras to scuba dive.
Hello my people how is life? I have travelled across to Honduras as I fancied learning to scuba dive and it is a good and cheap place to learn. Ok so I left from Rio Dulce on Wednesday, I think, it's difficult keeping track of days on the ...

Just returning for the night
Nothing to report this time around. I returned to Tegucigalpa as the Hotels in Valle de Angeles were over my budget and it was to late in the day to travel on to Cedros. I decided to hitch the thirty minute ride back to the ...
