HONDURAS,GUATEMALA

HONDURAS

When we were at boarder of Nicaragua ,we needed to pay 1 USD to get out of Nicaragua.Sometimes I just dont understand these people.It was some kind of of custom fee.At Honduras side we needed to pay 36 USD .It was because they write us temporary licence to use our motorcycles at Honduras.
Anyway custom was quite easy this times,it takes only two hours.We stop for one night at Comayagna .It is small town,nothing special.Next day we ride to San Pedro de Sula.There we meet Thomas from Sweden and his wife.They live at San Pedro de Sula.Thomas booked us good hotel before.Later that evening we go together few bars and have a good time.Next morning we ride to Omoa.It is at carbian sea side.There was small biker party.In the evening we eat fish soup what Thomas recommend and it was GOOD.There was lobsters ,fish,cells etc. at soup.At Honduras weather change very fast.Some times it is raining very hard and after few minutes sun is shining.Rain does not matter here so much because it is warm.More like hot shower.Back home rain means allways cold.Thanks Thomas and your wife,it was good to meet you.Hope to see you at our plöjparty next summer!
At sunday when we leave Honduras,our friend Chris from Switzerland ,who has ride with us since Puno,Peru needed to fly back home.Thanks Chris for everything!It was nice ride with you.We wish you best of days and hope to see you when we are back in Europe!
