It has been already more than a week that we made it to Honduras, still the Carribean side. It is the first country where I am having troubles with the local Spanish accent, although it does not really matter as many people prefer to speak in English anyways.

We stayed one night in the small beach town Tela where people dont seem to be used to tourists that much as they stared at us as if we were the first pale tourists they have ever seen. I guess most tourists have a nice tan by the time they get here but we are still working on that.

Afterwards we went on to La Ceiba which is the third biggest and supposedly the party town of Honduras. You probably need to know where to party because we didnt see too many people on the streets after 8h (Saturday evening!). After a guy told us that we had ended up in a bad area, we decided to postpone the partying and get some sleep before our white-water-rafting trip the next trip. Rafting was really cool even though at first we had to pray all together which was a bit scary. Unfortunately, we feel like we cannot rely on people here as much as in the last countries - after the rafting our tour guy was supposed to take us back to town, but instead he just asked another driver to give us a ride until the next intersection where he wanted to kick us out. Waiting for a taxi in bikini and beach towel didnt seem to appealing to us, so we insisted on staying on the bus until the driver gave up and drove us back to the city (it didnt even take him 10 minutes).

Back in town, we decided to not longer in La Ceiba and took the next ferry to one of the Bay Islands - Utila. Important to know - if you are not (yet) into scuba diving, dont go there. It is all about diving!!! And thats how we have spent our last week - scuba diving, talking about diving, studying how to dive and getting up early in order to head out with the diving boat at 7:30h. Awesome!
