morning at 5am, so we were staying at the TICA bus terminal. Really
basic hotel in a shoddy area, but perfect for the early start. We
managed to hitch a lift to the shopping centre, shops, food and
cinema. We saw Avatar; brilliant movie. We had pops milkshake,
reminded us of Costa Rica. Argued with taxi man over the fare... this
happens EVERY time now, frustrating.
Our target destination in Honduras was the island of Roatan off the
Caribbean coast. That night we were heading for the Honduran capital
city, Tegucigalpa. After a few announcements (and watching avatar
again- screener bad quality) I realised that this very bus was heading
up to the Caribbean coast, so we decided to stay on the bus and
continue as far as San Pedro Sula. There were lots of foreigners on
the bus, all headed for the islands, and they were keen to get to the
ferry town that same night, we decided to join them and jumped off the
TICA bus to get on a more direct bus to take us to La Ceiba. We waited
2 hours for this bus, after 12 hours on the road already we were
starting to flake. As the bus was coming into La Ceiba suddenly a
massive smash crash... A rock had come hurling through the bus window
sending glass flying everywhere. In that moment we were terrified, but
as soon as we realised what it was we just felt relieved that it
wasn't our window, could've been really bad.
We rolled into Banana Republic guest house around 1am, and were gone
by 8am, off to the ferry.
Bed time! Next update coming soooooon xxx
