Hi Everyone!
We left Antigua at 4am and spent the next 18h on busses to Honduras, La Ceiba. We were originally told that we would arrive at 5pm, then at 7pm and 9pm...the "Never ending busjourney" ended at 10pm in a very dodgy La ceiba. We took the boat the morning after across to Utila.
Utila is a great island, cool bars, resturants. Very small place, only one main road. The local language is complete jibberish...combination of carribean english and neandathal spanish. Made us laugh everytime we were asked something...
We started our diving course, but got delayed because of bad weather. Storms. But we finally completed the course. We really enjoyed diving, saw lots of fish and it was great to learn something new. Sofia had some issues with the seasickness one day... I was the only one hanging over the railing...my gingercrystal saw the daylight again (it is supposed to stop seasickness...)
Phil wasnt too disappointed that it was stormy on the Saturday and we couldnt dive...we got to watch England win the rugby semi instead...
Utlia is extremely relaxed. We went to one fish restaurant and the owner was very pleased to inform us that he had Tuna on the menu. We soon discovered that's all he had on the menu! Raw tuna, grilled tuna and carribean fish =fried Tuna!!!
Just a quick one bout the banks...a complete joke. 2 cashpoints, but they don't take cards more or less. The banks are open every now and then and once a week the whole island go there to buy electricity. Let's just say the que was very long!!!and we ran out of money twice!! The whole island must operate on I.O.U's
After a 14 h journey we are now in Teguciglapa writing this from a great "homestay" with a family. Heading to Miami tomorrow and we are "slightly" tired of tacos, tortillas, enchilladas ( don't think we ever eat mexican food again after this trip) , not being understood, people offering us taxis everywhere ( even if you just going to the toilet in a restaurant), so we decided to have one night in South Beach!!!! Both very excited and we will watch the final!!!
Speak soon
Sofia and Phil
