Utila Island,

Off to the Bay Islands in the Caribbean, namely Utila Island, which is known for its coral reefs and scuba diving. We believe that it is part of the second largest barrier reef in the world. After a long day of travelling by bus through Honduras, we boarded a catamaran ferry in the coastal city of Ceiba and spent an hour and a half on the wavy ocean. Many of us chose to get a front seat in the bow but when we saw the captain zipping up his plastic window in the cabin, we had a funny feeling t...

Utila, Honduras

Sooooo... Yesterday was a long day, which is why there was no post. We packed up our stuff and left Copan at 6am, getting the first of our "public" buses. These are not to be confused with the "chicken buses" that everyone's heard of... old North American school buses that have been given a second (or sometimes third or fouth) life in Central America ferrying everything from people to, literally, chickens around. No, the buses we had yesterday weren't like that, thank god. They were more like...

Utilia - Day 2 - Let there be sun!

It's been awhile since I've seen so much rain... yesterday was just incredible. It would rain for as long as it felt it necessary to disrupt anything we were doing and then stop for as long as it took for us to think "that's it, that's all... there can't possibly be any more"... And then there was. All day and all night it went on like that. Shower. Clear. Shower. Clear. Thank god for that amazing umbrella I bought yesterday morning... I'm seriously tempted to pick up another one and drag it ...

Scuba dooba dooo!

... left the room with his backpack half zipped and his clothes haphazardly spilling out of it on the dock. Stu, the Aussie guy was up and informed Jules that his bag was open and his contents all over the dock. Jules also realised that Bertie (his beloved bag) was still in the dorm along with the very necessary items of passports and bank cards so had to dash back to get it. He was therefore not amused when the ferry office was late opening up and spent the rest of ...

More Diving!

... and a toadfish.<br><br>The two islands (Utila and Jewel Cay) are very different places. Both are quite laid back, but the main island is much more built up, and perhaps even bigger than we were expecting, with an amazing number of dive shops. There are also several over-water bars and resturants, and (unfortunately) quite a few mosquitoes. The Cay has only a few resturants, and seven churches for 200 people. You can walk from one end to the ...

Pacific to Caribbean in a day

... in heaven. Welcome to Utila, the smallest of the Honduran Bay Islands and properly the best place to learn to dive not least because of the number of dive shops keeps the prices low, the waters are calm and there are plenty of dive sites and at this time of the year, there is the added bonus of whale sharks passing through and it is just before hurricane season. However, the island is doing about 5 &#8211; 10% of the business it did ...

Scheissende Fische und Ostern in Honduras

... Santa recht einfach, die Zeit im Hostel auf Komaschlaf zu beschraenken. Neben gut feiern kann man hier auch gut tauchen und die diversen Tauchlaeden bieten mit die billigsten Tauchkurse weltweit, inklusive Unterkunft (normalerweise) und kostenlosen weiteren Fundives nach Beendigung des Kurses. Der Grundkurs dauert normalerweise drei bis vier Tage, bestehend aus einer Ladung Theorie und verschiedenen Tauchgaengen, wo man erst die Grundfaehigkeiten und ...

My Last Day

... some of the information also or even have their own version of events which are rarely based on precise facts. Yet another version was provided by the Spanish school. It all makes for a whole mess of theories. Keri suspected that the theives may have already been set free which is perhaps likely as she didn't testify. How does one testify anyways when that action may put their life in serious danger? In any case none of this is her worry any longer. She left Honduras safely and ...

However Maidelyn, the mother where I was staying for my homestay, completed the puzzle for me. Using the information provided from the current lists she created a much more pragmatic list and even included some items that she thought that everyone at the orphanage would appreciate. Moreover, she was able to estimate ...

Week Three at Casa Feliz

... careful with what I would eat and drink while in Honduras. I would not be accustomed to the same bacteria that the locals here were used to. My host family was quite careful in this regards and I was careful too when I ate out. Eating at the orphanage was likely breaking that health conduct that I had followed. Proof of this was evident to me even a couple of days after this meal. Nevertheless it was worth it as that lunch was one of the most memorable moments of my time in Honduras.
