Our only real destination in Honduras is Copan Ruinas, as for some reason we didn't feel as drawn to Honduras as we did with the other Central American countries. This very day marked 365 days of travelling, of being together 24/7 and of living out of a backpack. We tried to look for somewhere decent for breakfast but San Pedro Sula's bus station didn't offer much as all the locals were eating fried chicken and fries. In the end we thought, let's get pizza and a...

Another necessary evil in our travels of Central America, San Pedro Sula. Unfortunately due to time restraints, we decided to only spend a couple of days in Honduras as it didn't appeal to us as much as Guatemala or Belize. We probably didn't do Honduras justice. San Pedro Sula played a key part in our plans as it was our changng point for Copan Ruinas the following day. We arrived tired but safely and headed to our hostel, we were going to head to the local m...

Our next destination was Leon, long the Capital of Nicaragua! When we arrived we didn't think much of it seeing as we had come from Granada which was a well preserved colonial town.

We ate what was possibly the biggest chicken schnitzel in our travels. It was big enough that it would have fed 6 people! Ne...

From La Fortuna we had an early start to make it to Granada for that night. We had been advised that many travellers do not make it but as we were determined, we were at the bus station at 6.15am ready for the public bus to El Tanque (a 10 minute journey away). When we arrived at El Tanque we saw a group of tourists waiting, luckily as we were the only ones paying attention we were able to flag down the bus to Penas Blancas and grab seats together before the ot...

So the next part of our journey was from Tortuguero to La Fortuna. The first leg was a river boat journey where we saw lots of birds, caimans, lizards etc then a 5 hour taxi ride all the way to our hostel in La Fortuna. We managed to find a cheap room and agreed to take it, but it wasn't long before we figured out why it was so cheap! The room was full of damp and as we had already paid we decided to stay a night but demand that we be moved the following morning...
