Hotel Canadien La Ceiba

... that they couldn´t pull me back in right away. I braved the rest of that one feet-first, and returned to the boat when the water calmed. Overall, we went through several different rapids, including some Class 3 and 4 rapids!<br><br>After all of that adreniline, we spent the rest of the day relaxing at the jungle lodge, listening to the parrots and the river, before returning to La Ceiba the next day to continue on our way.

... slike porok pomembnezev, zakljuckov studija, zarok, rojstnodnevnih partyjev, dekliscin, krstov in celo t.i. baby shower-jev. Kaki ksihti:))))<br><br>Preden se vkrcas v avtobus, te se enkrat pretipajo, poslikajo in prebrskajo nahrbtnik. Do La Ceibe je bilo se dobri dve uri. Ko sem opazovala okolico iz avtobusa, sem obcudovala naravo, nasade bananovcev, raznih drugih palm, vendar pa so to sliko kazile grde in napol razpadle hisice. Tudi mrtva krava je lezala ob cesti ...

... the man with the van waiting to go and us trying to negotiate a new price with him in our best Spanglish while preparing ourselves for the possibility we would be sleeping at the border until the first bus came through in the morning.<br><br><br><br> <br> In the end, we came to an agreement that for 120 Q ($24) he would take us all the way to Puerto Barrios, the town we had hoped to make it to that night, and drop us off right at our hotel of choice.<br> <br ...

... a local guy who was chilling in a hammock on his porch and then headed down to the river for a much needed swim! Back in the village, Queso left us with a friend of his for a very broken conversation with her and her family on their porch while he joined the guys from the town in the field next door for a football game. When our limited Spanish wore out, she gave us a tour of the house and then we went to watch the game. <br><br>It was like the whole village was out to ...

... stable (compared to others I've been on) bu it was still a little unsettling to look down into that river from 30 meters or so. I saw some young guys fishing the edges of the river, and an egret and heron doing the same. I walked back to the lodge and saw a flock of anis feeding as well as more stunning flowers. I just can't stop myself from taking pictures of them...

... lodge. I spoke with Udo, the German owner of Omega Tours and he assured me that although they do not do bird tours specifically that there are tons of birds at the lodge and there are several trails on the grounds. I asked if they had space for me tonight and they didn't but he made a reservation for me at the B&amp;B next door and I could stay at Omega the following night. Udo gave me detailed directions on how to ...

... blasting and we ate huge plates of BBQ`d chops and tried to talk, then she went off dancing with Honduran ladies to her favourite tunes of 10 years ago. We drank more and checked out all the stages in the street but nobody was really dancing though. On one stage playing the local Garifuna Punta music, they got a guy out of the crowd to dance with the girl on stage. He seemed so shy but then started dancing proper filthy with this girl, the ...

... proudly displayed by the seemingly inexperienced security guards. But perhaps that show of power is necessary to deter many a criminal. Violence. This was the toughest part of La Ceiba for me to deal with. I could not keep track of the number of murders that happened here even only during my three weeks. Not to mention that a fellow volunteer had been robbed and drugs were hardly hidden. But then again this is life in La Ceiba and many parts of the world. Perhaps that made it even ...

... area behind the counter. She seemed to be a regular here so the staff didn't have any issue with that. Once we were in the employee section of the store we looked at the list we had conglomerated a couple days before and scoured the aisles for the items we needed. Actually, Maidelyn found all the items as I basically just followed behind her and did my best to carry everything back to our collection spot at the counter. She seemed to know where everything was and she just ...

A real culinary adventure: Senica and I ate termites! and they weren't that bad!! David told us they tasted like carrots and that was true - even the smallest termite had a strong flavour. He also said that the smell of termite is a bug repellant. Huh! At Palma Real there are all sorts of food on the buffet - I especailly loved these cheese and bean quesidillas for breakfast. The cheese is soft ...
