Drowned rats

So there was one of those toss of the coin decisions that had to be made. We didnīt know we had to make it until quite late in the day but we had assumed to get to Guatemala you had to enter via the North, taking in Tikal along the way. If you have a look at a map of the country though there is a nice big thick East West line called Atlantico an...

A Complicated Route

Although Belize and Honduras are fairly close together (as the crow flies), getting from one to the other is surprisingly complicated. From Punta Gorda to Utila involves two boats, two minibuses, a chicken bus and a regular bus. The following series of map pins describes our route between the two.

Punta Gorda, Belize to Puerto Barrios, Gu...

Puerto Barrios- Spanish and English

Puerto Barrios is not much more than a sailor's port of call, and not much of that. There’s a newer port down the road, so PB is merely a minor crossroads growing more minor every day. There are blacks here, in addition to the Latino and Mayan cultures more typical of Guatemala. Some even speak English, more part of the circum-Caribbean cu...

Borders, Buses and Boats

Friday June 12
Way too early of a start today! Was up around 5am and by 5:45am we were standing on the side of the road waiting for the 6am(ish) chicken bus into La Ceiba. By 6:30 it still hadnīt come past but someone heading into town offered us a ride so we jumped in the box with the two others who were already in there (Donīt worry mom and...

Pres hranice

Plavbu jsme zakoncili v Livingstonu kolem obeda, prosli tu jednu ulici, ze ktere se mesto skladalo a pojedli v mistnim "comedoru" a cekali na trajekt, ktery nas priblizil k honduraske hranici. Uz sme se mezitim dali dohromady s polsko-kanadskym parem, ktery mel stejnou cestu jako my - do vecera dorazit nekam k mori v Hondurasu. Hodinovou jizdu t...

Puerto Barrios

Unexciting town that only serves as transit stop. No story about this place.

O oficial de honduras nao estava ja fazia duas horas... bem , passei para a Guatemala meio informalmente .

Into Honduras

From Livingston, we took a 7:30AM lancha (colectivo mini ferry) to Puerto Barrios for 30Q each, or $4. Itīs a beautiful ride! We were the only tourists in the lancha, which was a nice change...

The house is FINISHED!

I just received pictures of the houses that we built in Guatemala and it's amazing!! Sandra and her family are now living in their home that we helped to build. It's so great to see a picture of them standing beside and in their new home. The kids are as cute as ever! It feels good to know that we helped make that happen. I'm so glad that we wer...
