In Belize...

After a few relaxing days on the caribbean coast of Honduras we made our way into the biggest tourist trap of Guatemala - to Flores near the Maya-ruins of Tikal. The same horror-prices as Machu Picchu but you HAVE to see it...
Our first impression of Guatemala was not a good one. Luckily we are already in Belize. We came here only to extend our visa and found a new favourite country!!! Exactly what we need right now! The last weeks were a little bit hard...
From the little village of San Ignacio we will explore the surrounding in the next days. Don't worry if you don't hear from us too regularly in the next weeks as internet costs here are outragious!!!! We are just enjoying paradies!

Caribbean again!!!

After visiting the impressive Maya ruins of Copán we headed north - after 5 month finally back at the beloved caribbean sea!!! Since yesterday we are in Tela. But because the guide book once more promised more than there actually is we continue to Omoa tomorrow - a small, laidback caribbean village near the guatemalan border.

In Copán Ruinas...

After a few volcanoes, some mountain villages and the highest mountain of the country we finally left El Salvador - back to Honduras.
Here we already visited the small village of Gracias and its great hotsprings. Tomorrow we are going to see the famous Maya-ruins of Copán...
