... This face is because i am walking round like i need to sit on a rubber ring!!! Horse riding is painful!!!!
So, were in Copan and were here till saturday as transport stops running from tomorrow for easter weekend! But there are huge parties everywhere!!!! Semana Santa is a whole week of no work and lots of food, drink and dancing! And i think the british gov should step up and get it on in England!
So We left Corn Island nearly a week ago now and stayed in Bluefields for a day before setting off back to Managua. The panga ride was just as painful as before but we weren´t as squashed in the boat this time. When we arrived in El Rama there was a old yellow school bus waiting to take us the rest of the way to Managua. I was like no way does that thing go over 20! But this was no ordinary school bus it was "Pimped out" and had a dvd player and not 1 but 2 tv´s and a sound system so we were rocking all the way back!
In Managua we booked our bus ticket to honduras (we wanted to leave straight away but had to wait 3 days!) So we asked the taxi driver to take us to a hotel that was cheap and near the bus station... well... will not be doing that again! He took us to a dump of a place seriously! the 1st room they took us to look at had a bed and a curtain which revealed a shower behind it! it was horrid! I said no way are you serious, so he mysteriously found us another room which was only marginally better but it had a seperate bathroom cable and ac. After the 1st price of $50 when i went to walk away again he went down to $16!!!! So we took the room (mistake number 2).
That night, all night, someone was knocking on our door and trying to open the door! i have never prayed so hard in my life! 1st thing in the morning, we left and booked ourselves into a gorgeous 4 star hotel for 2 nights until we left and it was well worth it! Decided to try ouyt the night scene in Mangua on saturday night and went to a wicked club called Hipa Hipa. It was really good music and a wicked atmosphere you could even dance on the bar... and if you know me, you know i did! Drinks were 25p for a cuba libre... honestly!!! As you can imagine we were downing those drinks like water and was very ill the next day!
So arrived in San pedro sula, Honduras, on Monday and stayed 1 night and then got another bus to Copan where we are now.
I have shouted/argued with 3 people so far for trying to short change me in a big way and making up exhange rates. So could be going better, but the hotel is nice and there is a big party scene here with lots of bars and stuff. We have a salsa class tonight and then hitting a karoke bar later! Went on a horse back tour at 8am this morning and visited a coffe plantation, and a chorti mayan village and school. Janine took much persuation... you all know what she´s like with animals!!! Luckily i seemed to get the young buck horse that just wanted to gallop and go its own way, not her! Met a really cool spanish/brasilian guy who was on the tour with us and we ended up racing most of the time! I swear i was born to be on a horse i´m a natural apparently!!
Tomorrow we`re gonna do the mayan ruins as we are so saw from horseriding earlier (i´m good but it still gets some getting used to!)so i´m just going to go find some radox and a bath!
Wishing you all a happy easter, wish i was there for fried fish and bun and cheese, although last night i had a gorg meal of rice and peas, plantain (cooked to perfection the Jamaican way), scrammbled eggs and avacado!!! and you know i´m loving the mexican food here!
We´ll be heading to the Bay Islands on saturday and are looking forward to meeting "the rude Jamaicans" there (an actual quote from an assuie we met in Brasil). And also the 7th day adventist church is big tings there too!!! so gonna get my church on!
Besos grandes xoxox
