most of the time.

One of the most enjoyable aspects though was the interaction with other travellers. Bastian and I met lots of different people, and we had a good laugh with a cool Dutch guy called Timo and his English lawyer companion, Andy, as well as a air-con affionado Israeli guy called Yonathan. Towards the end of our stay at Utila, we all got a big watermelon and filled it with a tasty concuction of rum and peach juice which served as a treat as we all eagerly shared it through straws in true Carribbean flavour.

Soon enough though everyone had to go their separate ways. After saying goodbye to my new found good friend Bastian two days ago, Vicky and I took the boat yesterday to La Ceiba where we stayed a night before catching a knackering but air conditioned comfortable bus to Tegucigalpa, Honduras´capital. Vicky went onwards to San Salvador, and now I am left back on my own, but enjoying the last few days abroad.

Tegucigalpa is a noisy and Ive booked into a $4 hostel with an enthustiastic American owner, who thinks most Americans after Hurricane Katrina are greedy and taking the piss out of the government, (whom he also describes Mr. George Bush as ´the biggest ´turd´ in the planet´).

Ive walked round town and the bustling parque central. I also trekked up the hilly Parque La Paz for a great overall view of the city. Its low season now in Honduras too, so being near the only foreigner strolling the streetsmç, I have had plenty of ´ hey gringo!´ shout outs, but on the whole everyone has been friendly and I am able to practise my Spanish one last time.

After grabbing a bottle of local rum and finishing my blog, im now finalising my plans for New York flight tomorrow, then after a night in the Big Apple Ill finally be heading home!! Looking forward to going home and back to university for my final year , but thats suffice to say I have a had a most excellent time in Central America and I hope those who have read and seen the blogs
have somewhat enjoyed it as much as I have! I certainly will return to visit more of Guatemala, Nicuaragua and El Salvador, but from me on this trip, is coming to a farewell and ´ádios´!!

Always good to hear from people and what they think of the trip and if its ínspired´them somewhat. I hope you like the photos,

Hasta lluego,
