For several years I’ve been putting off visiting Central America which, for some unknown reason, has been a place I’ve wanted to visit for many years. My problem was I kept getting distracted by other destinations – in 2009 I saw a photo of somebody sitting next to a Mountain […]
Category: 2012 Central America
A long-overdue trip to Atlanta and then overland through Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica with Intrepid.
First stop Atlanta
I’ve finally started my trip to Central America that I’ve been wanted to do for many years, but have only made it as far as Atlanta USA where I’m making a brief overnight stop. I had to get up fairly early this morning for my flight to Atlanta. Even though […]
Welcome to Guatemala
So I’ve finally made it to Central America – I’m currently sat in my hotel in the lovely town of Antigua Guatemala after what has been a long few days. Today was another day of mostly travelling just like yesterday. After a 6am checkout of the hotel in Atlanta I […]
Into Honduras
Today was a very long day of travelling. We were due to leave Antigua at 5 so I got up at 4 to repack my bags ready for the trip ahead. Unfortunately one of our group was a little late getting ready so by the time we reached the Guatemala […]
Mayan ruins and a survival experience
Today was my first day which didn’t involve lots of long distance travelling and I managed to fit in a lot of activities, despite not getting much sleep last night due to my assigned room mate being a VERY loud snorer. Luckily I brought some silicone ear plugs with me […]
Next stop… paradise
It was an early start today as we had to catch the 7am chicken bus from town. I think the chicken buses were the only bit of this trip I wasn’t looking forward to as I have really long legs and was worried about the lack of leg room, however […]
A lazy day on Roatan Island
Today was a fairly lazy day and that’s exactly what I needed after a few hectic days travelling – I had my first lay-in of the trip before reading and making use of the hotel wi-fi. When a few more people were awake we made our way to Earth Mama’s […]
Swimming with Dolphins
Today was probably the best day of the trip so far as we managed to fit in a few really good experiences and the weather held out unlike yesterday! I didn’t sleep much last night so this morning I got up at 6am to read on the balcony. Mena woke […]
Back to mainland Honduras
I woke up fairly early this morning to decided to read on the balcony for a bit before heading back to the Italian place in town with Team Breakaway for a fried breakfast which turned out to be a good choice. Not only was it nice but a whole meal […]
Crossing into Nicaragua
I’m now in Nicaragua, which is the country I’ve been looking forward to visiting the most on this trip, but so far all we’ve done is travel so I haven’t had a chance to see too much yet. Our journey started at 7am with a chicken bus from right outside […]
