Best Western Gran Hotel Sula San Pedro Sula

On Friday, we decided that as we had a long weekend, we needed to escape for a couple of days. Saturday, we already had plans to go into San Pedro, and then went to an eight year old's birthday party. At the party, we had a piñata and the food was a rice stir fry with a cake for dessert. It was really fun and nice to see!

So, on Sunday at 0800 we set for the coast, to Tela. We took the local bus into San Pedro and then the longer distance bus to ...

... br>Recreational camping is something with a lot of potential. Being alone with nature makes this destination an exotic place to be. The cold climate makes this a cozy experience and because there is no electrical energy the only thing you'll hear is from nature itself. There is no more than 5 mm of difference between all the stars in the sky.

... with crab, fish and shrimp was worth the trek. I soaked up the broth with fresh coconut bread that women sell out of large buckets on the street.

The last day we got up at 5:30 to take a tour of the local national park. Though we chose the less sketchy of the tours, it was still pretty sketchy. Some dude in a pickup picked us up and 2 other guys (one with a rifle. “To shoot the crocodiles,” he said) jumped in with us. We drove on deserted roads ...

... confusions in this new world with each other. Mike, and the administrator, and his wife Katie, who will be teaching 6th grade English, are very experienced teachers and our de-facto parents, but they are goofy enough to laugh along with us.

My first night here, though I was exhausted, I had an hour-long discussion with Jose, my host dad, about the political turmoil here. According to him, he supports Micheletti as a Honduran, but since he is a lawyer he ...

... wearing my watch to try and ignore the time passing.

After 10 hours I'm close to going insane, I'd finished my book and my ipod was out of batteries.

I met some American girls on the bus who were teachers in San Pedro, they said it was a pretty dangerous place - they dont walk in public even during the day and the headmaster of their school was recently car jacked.

The lonely planet is famous for never saying bad things about any town they write about, here's what ...

... beer, which translates to "water of life." I felt the force flooding back into me. As we're finishing up, I run into my friend, who's been looking for me. Turns out, he checked into the same dive resort minutes later, and saw our names on the register. It's a small island. We grab a few drinks at Tranquila, a bar on the dock, then head over to Treetanic, this uniquely decorated bar that took 15 years to build...there's no way to describe it other than just to go there yourself.

... to wait at the bus terminal for the bus to Copan (90 minutes that turned into immediate departure since my bus was late getting there). Then the bus to Copan (3 hours which took 4 hours and arrived an hour and half late). I left my hotel at 11AM and arrived in Copan at 10:30PM. At the San Pedro Sula Airport, I was a little nervous. There were almost no tourists the entire time ...
