The Real Honduras

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 [...]

Unwinding At The Lake

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 [...]

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 [...]
