So I left Colombia for Guatemala, my flight was not a direct one; it was scheduled to stop over in Miami. However, when I arrived in Miami, I found out my flight to Guatemala was cancelled. I was in line for 2 hours, finally when I got to the counter; I was put on another flight for the next day and told that because my original flight was cancelled due to bad weather, which was not their fault, so I would be responsible for my hotel and expenses in Miami. How nice American Airlines, this will mark my first and last time with you guys. This meant I arrived a day later than planned, the only good thing was that I met a person from Turks and Caicos, which mean that whenever I visit Turks, I ... read more

I didn't know exactly where the brewery was. My Lonely Planet book said that it was on the west side of Lake Yojoa near Peña Blanca. A lot of good that discription was, Peña Blanca wasn't even on my map. I pulled off the highway at what looked like the small road that went around the lake and proceeded to look for a sign that said D & D Brewery and Hotel. What a stupid name for a place in Honduras, I thought. How will I even ask directions to this place? Eventually, as the road seemed to be going away from the lake, I pulled off at a gas station to ask directions. I envisioned myself sitting on a deck overlooking the lake drinking micro-brews while seeing the mountains of the cloud forest in the ... read more

Marco, Hazel, and I left Trujillo in a clound of dust which is to say that we were following a bus on the rough gravel road that was constructed to bypass the bridge that was washed out. This way was better than the ferry from hell but not by much. We drove into the cloud for twenty kilometers before we knew for sure that we were following a bus. It could have been, a truck, a bus, the tasmanian devil, or a portal into the twilight zone for all we knew because we couldnt see more than 20 feet into the storm. We eventually broke into the clear and reached pavement at a crossroads where we parted company. They would proceed from here to Tacoa where they would begin the first leg of their journey into ... read more

So Walt and I started off on our journey Sunday morning. We decided not to trust the unreliable car that JUST got back from the mechanic, and instead decided to bus it. Mike and Mavis were also taking that bus from Tegucigalpa to La Ceiba as they were catching the ferry to Roatan, so it was nice. We head over to the Hedman Alas office Saturday afternoon and purchased the tickets for Sunday. Hedman Alas is a first class bus line that has great comfy and reclining seats as well as a bathroom on board, AC and TVs showing movies. Plues you get a little snack too. It cost us about $25 per person for the 7 hour bus ride. Totally worth it to travel in comfort. The bus went to San Pedro Sula and then ... read more
