In to Honduras

Hoorah, we made it! The trip down from Belize was ok really. It just involved a whole day on a boat. We arrived at the docks expecting to see a sizeable boat for the cross-country trip and found a little 20 person chugger. Never mind, it got us there, and even did some pretty impressive leaps off waves on route. We also had the fun of the immigration control, whereby two people jumped on to the boat, ordered us off and then moved us back on, Noah style whilst putting the relevant stamp in my slowly developing passport.

Arrival into Honduras was made painless by my travel group growing to include an Italian, a Dutch guy, and a Canadian, all of whom could speak Spanish. We managed to get onto a seriously crowded bus to San Pedro Sula, the mingy capital, and then got another bus to La Ceiba which was also pretty nasty. I did get a beer and T-Bone steak for about $4 though, so that's ok.

Next stop - Utila! Hoorah!
