Sea Eye Resort Utila

... ferry trip sleeping with his back to us! <br><br>The ferry ride back was rougher than the one we had arrived on, with people using the sickie bags more frequently resulting in the very nasty scent of eau de puke hanging in the air. The 45 min ride took ages and it was with great relief when we were on dry land again and in a taxi heading to the Hedman Alas bus terminal to get our connection to Copan, home of the famous Copan Ruins.<br><br>But more about those later... <br><br><br>

... in under five minutes.<br><br>Tuesday<br><br>Our last day diving! Or, at any rate, our last day for now. (I'm considering the option of going back). We did one final dive, on the reef, and took in the fish, the coral, a pufferfish and (out in the distance, after the dive) we saw a huge turtle. Good way to end! <br><br>Afterwards, we returned to the mainland. We're in La Ceiba for a night, and going white water rafting in the morning. Should be fun!

... year. Various theories abound but the main one is down to the military staged, publicly supported, CIA involved coup that took place in July. Travelling around the rest of Central America, everyone you meet from locals to other travellers look at you in amazement when you say you are going to Honduras.<br><br>- "Aren&#8217;t you worried?" <br><br>- "What?"<br><br>· &#8220;Isn&#8217;t it really tough?&#8221;<br><br>· &#8220;I heard it ...

... be sitting at my desk at work while Leigh gets to relax on the beach in LB.<br><br>Anyway, the blog entries have been pretty limited for the last week as we have had limited internet access and long days in the water - yesterday we had 4 forty minute dives, each of them different!<br><br>And on that note, we are hungry and all this typing has called for some baleadas and pasteles. <br> As one old man on the bus said to us after our 10 hour trip - Hasta la vista baby!<br>

... the morning. 8 of us traveled from Livingston, to the Honduran border. The Honduran border was a little sketchy, but nothing out of the ordinary at this point. There were guards with guns, but all they wanted to know was where we were going in Honduras. Once it was established that we were heading for the La Ceiba ferry, they checked our passports and kindly let us through.<br><br>About 2 miles past the Honduran border, our van ...

... you see below are courtesy of our good friend and fellow scuba diver Steve - plus a few we took on an underwater camera during a dive on Utila and a couple we nabbed from the internet.<br> <br>Back to the story....<br><br>We were picked up by shuttle at 4am on May 27, immediately gobbled a couple of sleeping tablets and the next thing we knew, it was 10am and we were stopped at customs on the Guatemalan/Honduran border.<br> <br> Border security in ...

... uebt und dann aufs offene Meer hinaus geht und bis auf Tiefen von 18m taucht. Dank einem tropischen Regensturm wurden aus unserem Kurs direkt sechs Tage und ich musste mir leider, leider zwei Arbeitstage freinehmen.. :) Dafuer lernten wir auch alles umso intensiver und, als kleiner Streber, durfte ich mir nach voller Punktzahl beim Theorietest ein schickes T-Shirt aussuchen.. Und dann gings endlich raus auf´s Meer! Tauchen ist echt was Beeindruckendes ...

... her next destination fine: Ecuador. There she will spend two months volunteering before heading to Chile for another two months of volunteer work. Some time in May she expects to return home to U.S.A. no doubt into the anxious arms of her family. As for me, I was bitter-sweetly anticipating my own departure from this country. My daily life and activities here were so diverse that on one hand it felt like I had been here longer than 3 weeks but on the other it seemed to have all passed ...

... as well so that gave me a much more accurate picture of what to buy and in what quantities. She was very thorough. My next dilemma was how was I going to buy all this stuff? The amount of money that I had in my possession to purchase items was rather substantial and would go a long way here in Honduras. There would be many stores that I would need to solicit and the quantities would be significant. Furthermore, not only did I not know the city well enough to effeciently shop but I was ...
