Hotel Sherwood Tela

... far apart, with me behind. I could sense these guys were just a little too close and had a bad feeling. They went to pass me and one of the guys jumped off and tried to grab my bike and bag that was in the basket. It's all kind-of a blur and I don't know if I swung first or he did, but we got into a tug of war for the bag and bike and he gave me a pretty bad blow to my bicep, of all places. Of course I was yelling for Sven ...

... I am now, is supposed to be the next big thing. It allegedly has marvellous beaches (can´t see for the rain) and resorts are being built along the coast (is that a good thing?) so I thought I better see it before it´s ruined. It might well be lovely when the sun shines but I think I´ll move on tomorrow and hang around the port for the Bay Islands for ...

Honduras es mitad selva (una de las mas virgenes en el mundo) y mitad carreteras, pueblitos, tres ciudades, plantaciones de tabaco, platano, caña de azucar y una isla...si no existieran las fronteras no te darias cuenta que estas en otro pais diferente, este podria ser honduras, una parte de guatemala, el salvador o nicaragua.. el mismo acento, la misma comida, el ...

... La Ceiba. We trekked to a waterfall in the depths of the park with the help of Alejandrio a 65 year old Honduran guy who not only walked quicker than us but also carried all the water. The trek was more of a scramble/climb and we all reeeeally enjoyed it. It also involved wading across a river, something which required more balance than I have so i fell in and continued the rest of the trek in soaking wet clothes, which the sandflies ...

Today we had another great day out touring. We started the day with a good breakfast and then left for Los Micos (translated as the monkey) which is a brackish lagoon where all types of birds and animals can been seen. We drove about 45 minutes on a dirt track by 4x4 to get to the Garifuna villiage of Miami. The villiage is said to be the most traditional of the Garifuna villiages on the Honduran coast. Who are the Garifuna? Whar I can figure without being able to do ...

... company we have been out with. I was happy to be gone from that hotel because I was weary of seeing people check in without luggage ;) anyway Mark, our tour guide for three days picked us up and brought us to Tela. The weqther was too bad to take us on a tour to some islands so we came straight up here to figure out what we could see for the day. we opted for Lancentilla gardens which is the second largest ...

... on the windows. Our first night there we foolishly believed that there probably weren't many bugs around. My bed was directly under the open window, and I woke in the morning covered in mosquito bites from head to toe. From that night on we hung a mosquito net up in the window to keep the bugs out. After four nights of relaxing there, we moved on to Honduras. We spent a night in the border town of Nuevo Ocotopeque, and from there moved on to Copan ...

I left Utila on a stormy Monday morning, one day earlier than expected since a storm was rolling in and we didn't want to get stuck there for another week. Agnes (one of my new favorite people) and Gus (another one) and I got ourselves west to Finca el Eden just off the highway toward Tela, where they had both stayed in past years and loved. The place is owned by a German man named Berty and his Honduran wife (and four beautiful daughters ...

... Annakah and she is from the Kingdom of Holland. She had blonde curly hair and blue eyes so she stood out quite a bit compared to the Caribbean crowd. She is traveling alone for the year and plans to end up in Bolivia to teach English. She speaks 4 or 5 languages... I cannot imagine!!! We enjoyed having a new face around. We planned on having a quiet night back at the hostel. We are all so used to going to bed early (usually between 7:30 ...
