We spent all of August in Honduras...wow. So here´s our thoughts:
Best place - Karen liked the chilled beachtown of Trujillo. Phil only saw the 300m between the pool and the dive boats in Utila.
Best food - Fresh strawberries in La Esperanza or fish and coconut soup in Trujillo. Phil had a hamburger once in Utila.
Worst trip - Close tie between cockroach-infested bus between San Pedro Sula and Trujillo or the ferry out to Utila (Karen was seasick!). Phil was pretty hungover a couple of times walking down to Utila Dive Centre.
People - Out of the big cities people were curious and up for a friendly chat. Big cities felt edgy, especially with the police out in force following some high profile murders, kidnappings and gang drugwars. The numerous she-males in Utila freaked Phil out.
Study - Karen enjoyed learning further Spanish and reading the newspaper and understanding current affairs. Phil, well, you get the picture. Karen loved her Open Water course too!
Copan and Utila were pretty touristy, the rest of the country is pretty much off the main gringo trail.
Overall: Thumbs Up.
