As we headed into La Esperanza on a four bus mission our ears popped as we wound our way into the hills. The climate here, at least at this time of year, is fucking glorious quite frankly. Lovely, hot mornings, getting a bit cooler in the afternoons as the cloud moves in, perhaps a spot [...]
It stopped raining as we left Jungle River Lodge to wait for the bus and started up again just as we approached the entrance to D&D Brewery in Los Naranjos so thanks for that, weather gods. Remind me to sacrifice a goat or two for you later on. Lago de Yojoa and the area around [...]
We ummed and ahhed about whether we should head the half hour out of La Ceiba or not to spend a couple of days by the Rio Cangrejal. It's pricey. There's only really one backpacker friendly accommodation and even that's US$18.95 for a dorm bed, then once you're there there's no kitchen so unless you [...]
Roatan was amazing but fuck me, it was expensive. We fled to Utila which is more aimed at backpackers rather than American tourists more my age with a bit more disposable income. I mean, it's not dirt cheap but it's nice to be paying L45 for a bottle of Salva Vida at a bar rather [...]
Oh Roatan, you utter fucking budget murderer, you. My bank account is currently cowering in a corner, battered beyond all recognition. I think it might be weeping. We timed our trip to this glorious albeit expensive Caribbean island to coincide with when Karen who we met on the Antarctica cruise would be there. Oh, did [...]
Guys, I have so many Mayan facts to dump on you. We got to Copán Ruinas in Honduras from Santa Ana in El Salvador with a series of six public buses and colectivos which was long, hot and boring but ultimately a piece of piss and all the details are below. But! We are here [...]
Tazumal Ruins We hopped on a bus to Chalchuapa to put some more Mayan ruins in our eyeholes. The last pyramid we saw was cool but it left us with questions. I could Google the answers of course but I'm a fan of getting the information from the source. We rocked up to Tazumal and [...]
We've not seen a lot of water gushing spectacularly over a rock face recently which is one of the downsides to mincing around the Tropics right at the end of the dry season. Actually it's meant to be the start of the rainy season now but I believe it's been a lot dryer than usual, [...]
We decided to plonk ourselves slap bang on the Ruta de las Flores for no other reason than we'd be closer to the food. There aren't any flowers at this time of year which is the main draw of the Ruta de las Flores, obviously, but Juayúa still have their mini food festival every weekend [...]
We weren't going to come to Suchitoto, it wasn't on our radar until a few people in a Facebook group mentioned it was pretty and we had a couple of spare nights to use up. Why the fuck not, hey? San Salvador saw us off with a light rain which continued all the way to [...]
