So 3 days ago Trish and I split...she is off to meet the rents in Nicaragua and mission it down through Costa Rica....and I am currently in Copan Honduras! Checked out the ruins with a couple that Trish and I met on the redculous boat trip from belize to honduras, you know it's going to eb bad when locals go strait for the life jackets, turns ou...

On to a new method of travel - a beautiful black 1976 vw beetle! Many factors coincided for this to be possible and it all worked out as things often do. An Estonian guy I met while working at the hostel is driving from Mexico to Panama and happened to be stopping nearby Livingston around the time I was planning on leaving anyways. I decided I´v...

Here we are in Copan Honduras. After arriving late last night in Guatemala City and having about 5 hours sleep, we woke up at 0400 to meet our shuttle at the Westin in Zona 10 Guat City. Now we know how the other half lives. The hotel we stayed in was quite like a hostel but the Westin was all tile, stained glass and art. While we waited for the...

DAY 3 The following morning started with being picked up by a shuttle from our hostel at 4am, bound for Copan in Honduras. After naively being sold a more expensive trip on the assurance that the vehicle would have seatbelts, we learnt to expect little from road safety and to be sceptical of any promises from the tourist industry. The 6 hour jou...

Copan Ruinas We left Antigua and tried to leave Guatemala, but the traffic had other ideas. There was a nasty accident involving a car and truck,and while that would obviously cause delays, the serious delays happened from people driving into the other lane to try and sneak ahead, and then no one could move. Such stupid behaviour. I'd noted this...

After all that time in the sun it was time to get to a cooler climate, far inland near the border with Guatemal in the gorgeous mountain town of Copan. It is known as Copan Ruinas, actually, because this is the site of one of the best sets of Mayan ruins in Central America. Copan itself was a small, friendly town with some great little cafes and...

Our first experience on a ¨luxury¨class bus (to Copan) was not exactly the epitome of customer service. In La Ceiba, we went with some friends to the Hedman Alas bus terminal, home of first class buses which would take us to Copan, six hours away, in total comfort, for only $23. We weren´t really planning on taking such an expensive bus, but the...

We relunctantly left Antigua to face possibly the toughest part of our trip.... Honduras! We decided to take a tourist shuttle to Copan, it was cheap if not cheerful. We left Antigua at 4am.... that was the only flamin bus departing (one at an affordable price that is), and of course there was the usual bunch of strange tourists jammed into the ...

Getting into Honduras was a breeze and I was making good time as all the boat and bus transfers were working out perfectly. Along the road to San Pedro Sula the bus stopped at a police checkpoint and the people started getting off the bus when a Honduran woman turned around and told me that all the men needed to get off the bus. I was like think...

We spent most of the day traveling from Quirigua to Copan Ruinas in Honduras. Crossing the border, we were a bit wary when the Honduran official would not stamp our entry into the country, saying that new agreements as of this July allowed people traveling in Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and Nicaragua to use the same 90 day visa for the fou...
