La Ceiba Travel Blogs

  As I had decided not to spend another day in Copán I figured I might as well take the earliest bus out to my next destination. At 5.30 in the morning I took a chicken bus to San Pedro Sula, which is the second-largest city in Honduras. There isn't an awful lot to see in this city, but it …

Every year a group from my Episcopalian church goes to La Ceiba, Honduras to work with the locals. We take a medical team that provides primary care to the population, a construction team that undertakes small projects and an education team works with a local school. I have been blessed with the opportunity of being part of the medical team for 3 years. It has been a wonderful, most rewarding experience.

We used hedman alas to get to Ceiba. This company really had a pullman service, though if I had to pick I would have to choose Viana, better service.  The bus had AC, free basic drinks and snacks. We were suppose to stayed at the jungle river lodge by the cangrejal river, since we were doing t…

The original plan was to get off the bus in Tela and check out the beaches there, but it just wasn´t meant to be maybe.  So we paid our fares to Tela, and were expecting to be on the bus for only an hour and a half.  But come 2 hours, then 2 hours and a half, I started to worry. …

Hey alle. Saa kom vi til Nicaragua og konstaterede at der var busstrejke over hele landet. Uden at vide hvor lang tid det ville tage og hvor langt vi kunne komme ved at blaffe eller leje en bil, var det vanskeligt at goere os nogen forhaabninger om at rejse Nicaragua tynd og stadig vaere sikr…

Went snorkeling in the morning, for one last look at the reef.  I only had an hour and I wanted to keep looked, but then came to my sense when I got really close to a moray eel that I hadn't noticed.  Also, I collected some coral.  Got back to our hotel, tight schedule as 1, we were …

We took a boat from Belize to get to Honduras which was fun and made a change from the bus journeys. We then got piled into a bus and robbed blind to get to La Ceiba 4 hours from where we docked. There was a big group of us in the bus a lovely Swedish couple, a crazy Canadian, a Belgian couple, an …

The purpose of this family trip was to attend the dedication ceremony of a small chapel that my Uncle, Padre Juan, S.J. built in memory of my fathers life.

Our route through Central and South America..

We were told by the front desk tha the earliest bus leaving to La Ceiba was at 11:15am.  We were eager to get out of Tegus unscathed, so we hired a taxi to take us to the bus terminal.  We were taken to the Christina bus terminal, apparently this is the only bus that has "direct" routes t…

Bus ride to La Ceiba.Views of Honduras which is definitely the poorest place we've been in so far. The hotels in La Ceiba initially didn't have much to offer but after looking at four we realised that they all offer about the same so we went with a pretty cheap one which even had over 100 satellite…

So in the morning we were off on the boat from Punta Gorda to Puerto Barrios, then on a minibus to the Honduran Border, then on the slow chicken bus to Omoa and Puerto Cortez. That chicken bus goes off the main road onto dirt roads through dusty little villages a few times. If anyone knows how to a…

Summer ended, things wound down at the skate shop, and we started into fall.  I made my plans to set out on my next trip, this time I had decided on Honduras.   I had read quite a bit about the Bay Islands of Honduras, which were gaining a reputation for their dive sites.  And I…
