Off the island

// February 1st, 2005 // Honduras

Well we made it off the island… not quite as far as we wanted… but off the island none the less. it was getting old… there was nothing to do but drink (which i don´t enjoy too much anymore… at least the being hungover part!) dive and waste time on the internet which was expensive… the food was poor… though there was a good place for supper right at our dive shop….

well we ended up sitting at our scuba teachers house drinking last night until around 1230… we missed saying good bye to all the kids we had met (we were supposed to meet them at a bar) but it was just as much fun to sit with the instructor and his wife… we had some good conversations… we didn´t wake up in time for the 6:20 ferry and figured it was ok because Lonely Planet said there was another at 11… well Lonely Planet fucked up again. I swear that book isn´t even worth carrying for toilette paper (it hurts!!).

So we had to wait around and take the 2pm ferry… didn´t get to the mainland until about 330 or so… We didnt feel like traveling any more so we found a cheap hotel room ($3.33 each) and are staying here… we got some food at a cafeteria place (was more expensive than the hotel!)… it was good food though… especially after the island… We walked around a little bit but realized there´s not much to do here so we´re chilling at the hotel… i wrote in my journal then decided to come online to write to all my adoring fans…

Tomorrow we leave for Copan… two nights there… then off to Antigua Guatamala…
