We´ve seen more of the above than you could shake several sticks at. Unlike the other Central American countries where every man, child and dog carries a machete, here, its all about guns. Luckily we didnt see any close up, but first stop was Danli.... not a place to linger long. The police have giant machine guns, security guards have humongous air rifles and every one else has pistols. Lovely!
Travel around Honduras was entirely on old American school buses, in various states of disrepair, surely the US dont ask for any money for these buses?
Onto Lago de Yojoa where we stayed at a micro brewery (think Zero Degrees with hammocks and a pool), Matt wrestled a rather large spider for his life jacket (check out the photo!!) and we enjoyed a spot of kayaking on the lake.
The hot springs of Gracias were calling us, the highlands of Honduras were surprisingly chilly, even had to dig out a jumper! We still had yet to see a single other tourist in Honduras!! Where is everybody?? Gracias was a lovely cobbledy street kind of place, v nice to chill out there.
Copan Ruins next, where we were sure we would see some other tourists.... we saw a grand total of one! Our first Mayan ruin, and it was goooooood. Very impressive sculptures, even more impressive having the place to ourselves.
