January is the last month of the rainy season, but if we are late in the month, rains have not entirely escaped its roof in Bay Islands. There is warm but overcast and raining. An island has not so many activities to offer, if it rains, why we are taking to the mainland again. Tela is moving in the direction of Belize, which is our next destination. Tela has beautiful beaches, but rather an issue with waste on the beach, and national parks nearby, hence the relatively large number of tourists in town. I write "relatively" because Honduras does not have as many tourists as neighboring countries. We must not take the local buses around the country due to security concerns. So we took the privately owned bus from La Ceiba to Tela - only 70 Lempira per ticket. There are many restaurants and hotels located along the beach. There are recruited guard to take care of people when they go from site to site. The beach is just a few meters away from the street, but people keep put away the evening. It was not meant that we would live so dearly. The hostel we had chosen us was fully booked the next month. Strangely, we thought. So many tourists are here nor ... It turned out later that it was a Danish group who stayed at this hotel. 16 young people from Denmark who travels around in two months. The last month they must work in an orphanage. It was getting dark, and it is not advisable to walk around with all his luggage when it is dark. It is too tempting for most to want to "help" us with the large backpacks. Therefore we chose the expensive Hotel Sherwood. To save money we ate dinner at the hotel. A court here cost between 150-250 Lempira. Instead we ate at a small local restaurant next door, where a court only cost 70 Lempira. Instead of serving rice or potatoes for a court, is served in these regions fried banana slices to. Another local delicacy is their pan coco, which is coconut bread.
