Feb 14, 2019. D&D Brewery, Los Naranjos, Honduras.
Rain! First in Central America! Also a case of the trots. Otherwise fine. Spent afternoon enjoying the Bioparque Paradise. Lovely area, lots of pretty tropical plants, and a beautiful Pozo Azul. But rain...
Will probably leave tomorrow, especially if it continues to rain. But this has been a great stop - best yet.
Ferry to Utila: 4:40 PM
Ferry to Roatan: 4:30 PM
Feb 15, 2019. Hotel Bertha, Tela, Honduras ($11)
Free ride to San Pedro Sula airport, courtesy of Dan & Katy Sanders (but not married!), then nice bus to Tela. Will take a nap and then hit the town this evening (it’s hot here on the coast). Guide book says this is a terrible town, but it’s close to the botanical garden, so screw it. Room is cheap and clean. No WiFi.
Trump just declared a national emergency to build the wall...
Dinner at Luces Del Norte: huge, delicious bowl of coconut flavored sopa de mariscos.
Dry season: November - April
