We headed east along the northern Honduran coast. Tela was supposed to be a laid back beach town, but turned out to be a down-at-heel scruffy place, with awful internet connections and dubious eateries. It reminded us rather of Southend-on-Sea. Even ... Read more >

After Copan Ruinas, Dan took a fancy to head into the highlands. So off we went via Santa Rosa de Copan to the small colonial town of Gracias (full name Gracias a Dios) in the region of Lempira. We stayed in a very nice hotel and sat shivering in ... Read more >

We took a bus from Comayagua up winding mountain roads up to Lake Yojoa - the largest freshwater lake in Honduras. Its surrounded by jagged, green mountains, and the lake edge is dominated by wooded flood meadows, unlike anything we’d seen in our ... Read more >

First off, sorry for the delay since our last entry - we've been a bit off the map in the Maya Mountains for three weeks (story to come...). After a rather tortuous experience with a bus company agent (it took us forty minutes to purchase two tickets ... Read more >

Viva la Revolución! Fleeing the political music in San Juan, we got the chicken bus north to León, via the den of inquity (well, maybe) that is Managua, the capital. Luckily for us, on arrival in the capital the nice guys on our bus ... Read more >

We waved Finca Bona Fide goodbye, and caught a collectivo bus from Balguè to Moyogalpa (on the south coast of the Concepciòn side of the island), via Altagracia (on the northern side). This was one lumpy, uncomfortable journey - the road was somewhat ... Read more >

I thought I´d put down some of our other impressions from our time in Ometepe, as it really is an exceptional place. The first thing that strikes you is the volcanoes (Concepción – the active one, and Maderas, the dormant one). There´s just no ... Read more >

Who would have thought I would be spending two weeks in a tent, in a sea of mud, on the side of an extinct volcano, facing another very much active volcano. Well I did. Dan and I volunteered with Finca Bona Fide, a permaculture farm, on the island ... Read more >

Six months into our trip and I`ve stretched and split knickers from three countries: Costa Rica, Nicaragua and lately Honduras. For some reason I don`t remember, I failed to sample what Panama had to offer. It`s a pants situation. Now I want to know ... Read more >
