Today I am leaving Tegucigalpa. I hope to arrive to Utila by nightfall. I would have left yesterday, but a strike had blocked the only road to the north. Despite the maze of paperwork, closing service was rather simple and straight forward. I needed to 10 sigantures, 3 stool samples, 1 urine sample, and a vile of blood. Deep breath. Early on in ...

Just a short entry about my second time I have found a paradise island on my gap travels. The first being Zanzibar of course, but the second with a slightly shorter but equally bumpy ferry ride over was last week to the Bay Islands. About 2hours off Honduras and surrounded by beautiful reefs and ship wrecks, it was the land of pirates in the pas...

My next stop in Honduras were the Bay Islands in the Caribbean, more specifically the island of Utila, which is an hour catamaran ride from the coastal town of La Ceiba. Utila is a popular backpacker hangout and is known as the cheapest place in the world for scuba diving. I however just wanted to chill out and relax in a hammock for a couple o...

After crossing the border we spent our first night in Honduras in the lovely town of Copan Ruinas next to the Copan Mayan ruins. We walked to the ruins and decided to tour them on our own without a guide. At the entrance there were several beautiful scarlet macaws posing for photographs and entertaining us. Whilst not as impressive in scale as T...

Kendra So, the rain has been good for one thing. It has forced Aaron and I to focus on our next steps -- what to do when our time on this rainy island is up. We've actually be quite productive and have formulated a plan for our next big leap, so here goes. Our time at the cabin runs out on December 4th.... by which time we will hopefully be bas...

The morning following our last entry, we left Lanquin at 5:30 AM for a long day of travel. Ten hours and three bus rides later we arrived in Tikal National Park, mother of all Mayan ruins. In this remote area of Northern Guatemala they raise prices drastically so we decided to set up our tent for a small fee. We awoke at 4:30 AM for a 5:00 Am to...

Hey folks, Don't worry, no danger of Spanish in this email, as we are now in the (supposedly) English-speaking region of Honduras, known as the Bay Islands. The island of Utila to be precise. When I say supposedly English-speaking, it is actually very difficult to understand what any of the locals are talking about, and you only know they are sp...

I went to Utila to learn to dive and within 5 hours of being on the island, I was in a diving class. Unfortunately about 3 days after that I suffered a common diving injury (an ear squeeze) and had to drop out of the course. People I told about it were more upset than I. I am such a lucky person, getting to visit and see so many wonderful things...

Up early once again to catch the 5 am bus to La Cieba, for the 9 am boat to the Bay Islands. I was excited to go out there, mostly because it meant I could meet more people and get away from the Swiss girls. I mean they were really nice, but since they mostly spoke German to each other, it was like I was traveling alone anyway. They all spoke re...
