TRIPPY HONDURAS

Honduras was a very different experience i went there a while ago and came back with positive experiences and memories that i shall never forget in my life. 

I must confess. Its been years since I  I took a hike to the Archaeological Park in Copan Ruinas town to the Archaeological Park. But today, I was in the right mood, so I set out to take the short 2 km hike. The getting out of town was a bit Christmas is always a time to be jolly. And Christmas in Honduras 2019 has so far been special. I am in the lovely town of Copan Ruinas for Christmas this year. It is always nice here, and yet this Christmas is especially nice. The reason is that the local town hall has made a special effort to decorate the central plaza. of hassle.

The WestJet inaugural flight to Honduras was a milestone as the first scheduled non stop flight from Canada to Honduras. The flight originated in Toronto and landed in Roatan after an uneventful 4 plus hour flight. They flight operates once a week on Sunday.

HONDURAS - THE LAND OF WONDERS

After an amazing week in Guatemala, it was time to cross the border into Honduras. The plan? To visit Copan and Roatan Island.

Copan is a small town made famous by the Mayan ruins nearby. While there we visited the Luna Jaguar Agua Caliente (hot springs).  After an hour travelling on the back of a truck down bumpy, unfinished roads, we were all extremely happy to get off and take a dip!

What a beautiful place! Once across a rickety bridge, several different pools, each of different temperatures stretched out before us. They were all shimmering with crystal clear water. The hottest was around 90 degrees – too hot for us to handle… but there were a couple that were just perfect. It was like stepping into a perfectly warm bath. We spent a few hours there, drinking homemade cocktails, and rounded off the evening with a tasty Honduran BBQ.

The next day, the paradise island of Roatan beckoned. To reach it, we had to snake all the way back to the Caribbean coast again.

I’d assumed that Roatan would be a stunning desert island with very few visitors. I mean, how many people do you hear going on holiday to Honduras? But I was wrong… very wrong in fact!

My time there was worth every second and every pence, i can’t wait to get back there!!!
