Honduras' Pacific Coast by motocycle


Yes, that's how I spent my first day in Honduras. Sitting on the back of Harrissons, he was my hostfather when I stayed in Honduras in 2005, Motorcycle and driving across the Southern Departments of Honduras. As my dear Mami Karina, changed her work and is no longer working for the YMCA in Guatemala, but for "Save the Children" in San Lorenzo, a small town on the pacific coast I spent my first day in the very South of Honduras. There, in a little village, called Langue, are living Don Fausto and Dona Martha, Karinas parents in law. I met them allready three years ago and was really glad to see them again. Don Fausto picked me up right at border between El Salvador and Honduras and after 2o minutes drive we arrived at their house. In the later evening came Karina and Harrison, as they are both now working in the South. All together we spent a really nice and relaxed evening. It was so nice to finally meet them again.

On the next day Harrisson took me with him for his work. He is a supervisor of several group of women, belonging to a national microcredit-programme and had by this reason to visit different places closed to the pacific coast on this day. I sat behind on his moto and really enjoyed this drive trough Mangroves, a long the coast and over stony, dirty ways to a small village where there was going to be a meeting of one of this groups that day. During the meeting I started to play with the children of the village, which told me a lot of stories and taught me some little songs. :-)
I also got the chance to take my first bath in the ocean...
before we drove back in the evening to San Lorenza, where I was going to spent the night with Karina.
