In fact all through my travels to various parts of the world that has been a question in my mind, from the awesome St Peter´s Basilica through to the mosques of Morocco, the architecture takes your breathe away. <br><br>It was only once we got to the residential quarter that the crowds started to pull in and we were engulfed by the tour groups that had pulled in on the big Pullman ...

... Copan. But due to Roddick and Federar playing for so long, I missed the last connection so got stuck in La Entrada overnight, a few hours from Copan. Lonely Planet wrote it up as a drug trafficing hotspot so I was certainly glad to read that as I got off the bus!<br>One thing I didnt know about, but would soon find out about when four police jumped out of a car and pointed guns at me was that there was a nationwide curfew in Honduras at 9pm until things calmed down ...

... later that he only had one testicle. Maybe he was compensating....<br><br>So throughout our ride, was saw where the coffee was grown and we picked some of the berries.

There was salad and cheese made right there on ...

... every branch sqwaking gleefully to each other. Then we sailed to the narrow passage where Rio Dulce meets el Lago Isabela. The Spanish built a fort there in the days when marauding English pirates threatened their merchants. We followed the fort´s guide down narrow passageways lit by candle, climbed spiraling staircases to the tops of towers, and posed for pictures with the original cannons that still line the walls. <br><br>After the ...

... only $100 the four of us stayed there for 2 nights. It's not doable for a backpacking budget but my mom &amp; Kim didn't bat an eye for showers and big comfy beds. We snuck over to D&amp;D's for a couple celebratory brews. (Bob makes wonderful flavors like apricot, mango, and raspberry.) For dinner, the wife cooked us a typical Honduran meal of grilled beef, beans, tortillas, and avocado. For desert we had pineapple.

... niños. Great core strength training as well. Then we had our final GVI friday BBQ which included a farewell dance (robot of course) and speech which Rahul kindly let Ben do by himself. Queue 2 days chilling and illing, saying our goodbyes to our house mum and her crazy pets and nearly missing our 4am bus to Copan, Honduras. <br><br><br><br>After 7 hours on a minibus we arrived in Copan, famous for it´s Mayan Ruins which ...

... in it we were surprised but very happy when we learned that there were only 4 on the trip. We picked up a older lady by herself and then drove back out to the ruins to pick up our last passenger, or so we thought.

Ok, gentlemen, let´s talk turkey.<br> <br> You´ve put up with my emails about how wonderful the children are and how beautiful the scenery is, when the only thing you really want to know is "What does Latin American pussy taste like?"<br> <br> Well, to answer this question you first have to know that I´ve found Jesus Christ. Seriously. I´ve started visiting the House of God. That´s right, the old too cynical to give a **** about eternal ...

V obchodech nakupovali jak kobylky, hlavne kavicku, kterou je cela oblast proslavena. Ani ja jsem neodoala a nakupum jsem zde dala zadost., jeste ze brali karty...

... the air was warm and the town was awake with culture and warmth. Headed there with my Scottish mate who I met while volunteering including wacky Canadian Denis and Rosie from US of A (wild hippy.) <br><br>Spent 3 days there as I was a volunteer in La Esperanza as an English teacher, so couldn't take long days off. <br>Copan was alive in Mayan magic; the path ...
