So here we are in El Paraiso, a town that is near the border of Nicaragua. A dusty but rather nice quiet town in which we will spend the night before heading off to country number 5. So, our observations of the country that is Honduras? 1) BELLLLLIES ! Honduran men love to get their bellies out. Particularly to give them a scratch or a rub. They have even developed a special folding technique to get their T-shirts to rest on top of the belly.....we counted 12 i...

D&D Brewery. The first and only Micro Brewery in Honduras set up by an American about 12 years ago called Dale (the D&D stands for Dale & Dog) and is next to Lake Yojoa in the middle of the country. Onsite they brew 6 different Ales, have a nice outdoor swimming pool, great outdoor bar and restuarant. Upon arriving we took a sample of all the Ales on offer, then drank many a mugs as the night progressed. The next day we were asked if we would like t...

We reckon there was at least 35 people crammed in. And the driver stopped for anyone who was waiting on the side of the road and literally squashed them into the smallest gap. This was the last bus of the day so demand was high (note that this last bus of the day was at 9am!) Dave and Emily we...

So we left the lovely Copen Ruinas town nice and early in the morning and got on a very crowded minivan to our next stop in Gracias a Dios. Honduras is starting to prove a tricky country to move around. Our first experience was this packed minivan with no leg room, mid way we stopped at a town and all of a sudden loads of dodgy looking men starting running towards our minivan and all tried to jump on, luckily the drivers helper kicked them off and one guy fell s...

Today Dave attempted to mount a horse for the first time and with not inconsiderable success. To be fair, our horses were fairly lazy and also seemed to know where they were going. Emily tried to get a bit of a trot going, but "Mariposa", which means "butterfly" in Spanish, did not live up to her name. We enjoyed more Honduran countryside, but unsuspectingly the guide took us, via a different route, back to the fertility frog sight. Emily would refute that she w...
