Decided to pass the day away from thge pollution and dirtiness that is in the capital city of Honduras and enjoyed a day of fresh montain air and walking for a change as opposed to wandering around the big sprawling city taking in the sites. [View Full Entry]

I am waiting here to catch a TICA bus down to the capital of the next country of my travels NICARAGUA so I decide to pass the time by visiting one of the local parks here very high up in the mountains. I have found out it is so expensive to fly to latin america from here that it is better to take the buses all the way down to panama and try and get a cheap flight there ! I visit a variety of local parks during my days to occupy the time which provide really good views of this [View Full Entry]

After getting through xmas and new year drinking heavily most days with the boys from Boyce in Idaho in the US I decided to spend a few relaxing days on the beach while they practised for their Scuba Diving certificate. Most days would be spent catching a motorboat or lancha to the beautiful and sunny white beaches of West Bay and spending the afternoons reading and catching the rays and actually getting to see the sun set unlike the carribean coast resorts in belize and mexico. This place is really amzing and the only downside is the sheer amount of mosquitos [View Full Entry]

Decided to go see all of the island today and rented a scooter for 24 hours. In the afternoon it was necessary to take a motorboat to see parts of the island which can only be reached by lancha. I managed to see all the island and return to the resort of the West End in the opposite end of the island in time for 6pm and sunset. A thoroughly good day despite nearly coming off the scooter two times on the rough terrain on the south of the island. [View Full Entry]

The four of us arrived on the Bay Islands in Honduras on the 30th december and it was decided that this would be a better place to celebrate the new year instead of the capital cities in both HOnduras and El Salvador. After finding some great accomdation after spending the first nite in a mosquito ridden hostel it was time to party with my american dudes. Managed to find a rave on the beach which was called FUBAR and needless to say that those of you in the know what this stands for in the clubbing world of the united kingdom [View Full Entry]

After two exhausting days of bus rides from the capital of El Salvador to the capital of Honduras and then to the northern carribean port town of La Ceiba it was up bright and early again for the ferry to the bay islands where we all planned to party it up for the New Year and to see what 2007 had in store for everyone. The ferry was one of the worst rides I have had in long time and there were people using the plastic bags left, right and centre. I just about managed to hold on but needless to [View Full Entry]

Well, the next part of the adventure began when I changed hotels in the capital San Salvador and moved to a backpackers hostel closer to bars and stuff. In the morning the people from the other day were going to the beach with two americans from Boice in Idaho and a bunch of salvaduranos to party at the beach for two days.....sounds great so instead of checking in at the hostel that morning I was off in the back of a pick up truck with the bags along with us for food and drink supplies and our rucksacks of course.......two hours [View Full Entry]

decided to leave Antigua in Guatemala for my next country El Salvador because I wanted to feel like a gringo or extranero again because there are way to many tourists in the city in guatemala and it is very hard to practice the old spanish here. i caught a bus early in the day on what is boxing day in england and headed off at 4am for the capital of El Salvador which is easily remembered San salvador. Managed to track down a nice place to stay away from the notorious smelly and dangerous downtown market area. I decided to check [View Full Entry]

After the strenous hike on christmas eve up the Volcan Pacaya, I decided to take it easy on xmas day and had a few drinks and a bumper dinner with a bunch of australian travellers who had been touring mexico and guatemala for a month. Spent the day walking around the colonial city of Antigua and taking in the celebrations of the local people because here xmas eve is more popular for celebrating with the families and christmas day out in public for a stroll. I found it a bit frustrating that after 9pm on xmas day and x,mas eve here [View Full Entry]
