A two day, 10 buses trip from Masaya, Nicaragua through Honduras didn´t seem like a good time at all and it wasn´t all that fun to begin with. We changed buses cramed together with the locals and our big bags through the border crossing and had to spend the night in a scatchy little town right on the Honduras side. But the following day, through the country in a pretty upgrade bus looking out on a very diverse and green hilly landscape with kids jumping on the bus selling fresh cola nut cookies made it a very pleasant journey.

As Honduras was US´s puppet in Central Amerika for alot of years the country hasn´t had any civil wars (compared to it´s neighbours) during the last decades. Since US pulled out of the country the local currency has lost alot in value and Honduras is now quite cheap to travel in.

We arrived to Cobán, a little town in the very west which sits on the country´s nr 1 tourist attraction (except the Caribbean beaches) Copán ruinas (AD 250-900) one of the worlds heritage sights and greatest maya ruins.
We got in early, before anyone else and it was trudly amazing to wonder around the majestic ruins before all the big tour groups rolled in.

We´ve been crossing our 4th border together today to spend about 10 days in Guatemala. We´ll mainly spend our time in the south aroung Antigua and the highlands.
There´s been alot of crime towards tourists here during the last couple of months which makes me abit nervous. But hopefuly just by being aware and careful )and lucky= we´ll have a very good time in this country.
