Ikke saa meget interessant herfra - tog en bus kl.6 om morgenene fra Flores til Rio Dulce og derefter til San pedro Sula...Gik egentlig rimlig smertefrit lige indtil jeg naaede graensen, hvor jeg finder ud af at de aabenbart ikke har stemplet mit pas da jeg rejste ind i Guatemala og nu vil have at jeg skal betale ekstra for at faa det stempel - spillede total dum og til sidst gav de op og gav mig stemplet og lod mig gaa. Ved godt at det var total dumt ikke bare at betale da det kun drejede sig om 100 Q. men blev bare saa staedig og viste bare hvor korrupte de var, saa en lille sejr til Jeanette:) he he... Men ja i en bus 13 timer foer jeg naaede til La Ceiba hvor jeg ... read more

After the Hurricane in Honduras...it kept on raining for a couple of days. I decided to start my diving course anyway...and guess what... I was lucky. The weather cleared up and the diving was cool.

The Jungle River people also have a hostel the city of La Ceiba called the ... read more

Hei Allesammans! Nu har jag kommit til La Ceiba, Honduras och jag bestämde mig för att skriva lite til dom där hemma, eller nu är ju Mamma o Pappa i Syd Africa men det är deras problem. Men nu är det dags för en uppsummering! Som nämnt tidigare sa drog vi til Palenque (fram med kartboken) pa tisdagen, fran Cancun ned til Tulum (ocksa det pa östkusten pa Ycatan Halvön), men eftersom vi inte ville spendera en extra natt i Tulum sa hann vi inte med mayaruinerna där utan vi tog nattbussen vidare til Palenque som var vart huvudmal. Staden ligger en bit innat i Mexico vid gränsen til Guatemala. Efter en natt pa ett alt för varmt hotellrum sa besökte vi Mayaruinerna i Palenque som gar för att vara bland dom bäst bevarade Mayastäderna. Ruinerna ... read more
