Hotel Princess San Pedro Sula

... a one and a half hour journey). It was a good bus journey and only £2.20 each way! We found a cheap hotel (£3.50) and then headed down the beach for the afternoon. It was a nice long sandy beach, and the water was soooo warm! It was like having a bath. The only problem were the sand flies… we didn’t realise until we got back, that we had been bitten rather badly! I have them all across my back! The baseball game was on in the evening ...

... at Buenos Aires Village. With solar panels it’s eco friendly. The capacity for accommodations is five double rooms, a kitchen, a living room, and an incredible view balcony.

10) STAY FOR MORE THAN A DAY!

I just said 10 things to do at the park, but the options are way more. Caves, more than 10 trails, more villages, mountain rappelling and abseiling, etc. Come to Honduras, its an amazing country with a strong culture.

Hi again!
I'm sorry I haven't been writing but there isnt a lot of news and I've also been ill.

This has been the second week at school. School has gone well, largely as I am getting the classes into a routine and understand better their level of english. The principal spoke to me on friday (he hasnt said much to me so far, as he only speaks spanish and I guess he was worried how much I could understand) and said he ...

... to go outside to pee every night. Yea, I don’t visit her room much.

Katie L. aka K-Lo – 21 Super tomboy from Madison. Went to UW-Madison and was in my Spanish class last year. I was actually the person to tell her about BECA. She’s my roomie and we get along great except she makes me feel lazy because she goes to sleep after me and gets up before me to run every day. She tells me about the things I say in my sleep every night. She only eats protein ...

... a lot of the time on the terrace, as during the day it is very hot in the house. Of course, we don’t have air conditioning, but I do have a fan that I can switch on when I’m in the room. The house is fortunately, on a hill, so we don’t have any danger of being flooded. I’m attaching photos of the house and remember that this house is of quite a high standard compared to the other volunteer house!

Cofradia is ...

... a beach and had to climb under a barbed wire fence to walk on barely distinguishable jungle trails. We got to a clearing to find one of the tour guys throwing water out of the most decrepit boat I’ve ever seen. The one of the other guys started hacking away at the boat with a machete so that the motor would fit. Obviously, they had never tried putting the motor on this boat before. Eventually we got on and headed down the river. The “guides” didn ...

... 8217;t because Micheletti did not follow the law. In my opinion, both sides screwed up so both have to shape up in order to really serve Hondurans. I’ll be staying with the host family for 2 more weeks and I’m sure I’ll be sad to leave. There are still a lot of unknown family members that wonder in and out, but for the most part I live with Grandma Julia, her son Jose, his wife Conchi and their two kids, Susan (7 yrs) and Luis (the cute baby of ...

... said about San Pedro:
"San Pedro is a very dynamic city with a lot going for it. It also has a serious gang and crime problem"

I didn't want to stay in San Pedro, I was really hoping to get to the Mayan Ruins in a town called Copan about 2 hours away.

The only way was by Taxi. I talked the cab driver down from $100 to $50 and thought this is great, it's been a long day traveling but I'll get to my end point, check into a hostel and hopefully grab some beers with some ...

... their double bed love nest again. No really, we scored - two double beds, so a double bed all to myself, private bathroom and TV!!!!! Absolute Luxury. Forget the fact that probably half a dozen people were murdered outside the gates to our hotel overnight in the 12 hours we were there. I didn't care where I was. This place was bliss. Next morning our 6am door banging (complimentary wake-up call) to get us up and on the bus to Copan Ruins on the Honduran/Guatemalan Border.

... was waiting for the bus (3 hours). Everyone waiting for the bus were locals as well. I really thought I was going to a place that is not the safest place on Earth with no other tourists around. Once the bus arrived at the bus terminal there was tons of tourists everywhere which made me feel a bit better. Of course, then I immediately thought Honduras was too touristy (not really).
