Tegucigalpa

The capital of Honduras |

we sat and drank coffee in the main square Plaza Morazan. This was
a very different city, with a slight edge to it. |

we ate out here, once we'd persuaded the security guard on the door to
let us in (and bribed him to let us out) |

Day 18 - Drive/ferry to Roatan
We drove cross-country today, to the northern town of La
Ceiba on the Caribbean coast.
From here we tool a ferry across to the beautiful Bay Islands, home to
some of the
best diving and snorkelling in the Caribbean.
The 3 islands lying some 50km off the Honduran coast are a marine
wonderland,
with reefs that teem with life.

one of our many Texaco pit-stops |

Christmas is a big thing in Central America |

they were all very clean and well managed with good food and spotless
toilets |

this photo was taken) |

Ganes doesn't look well and this was before the waves got to her |
