Caribbean beaches

The main objective of my trip to Honduras was meeting my friends. However, as I didn’t have any real holyday for more than a year…and as I had never seen better beaches than the ones on the Caribbean in Honduras, I really wanted to spend at least one weekend on the beach. I had the idea to go there together with the mara Utila, what unfortunately didn’t work out. Still I finally managed to spend my last weekend with Elvin, a friend from the San Francisco, in Tela. I have been in Tela before. Eighteen years ago we spent two weeks there with my family. That was actually the first time I had been at the Caribbean and my parents haven’t the best memories. It was raining the whole 2 weeks. We have been much luckier this time. We arrived on Saturday morning and they told us the rain had just stopped the night before. And what a great surprise! Walking along the beach Elvin and I met Alberto and his wife Monika with their Baby Pascal. Alberto has been a volunteer for the YMCA Honduras, but is now living in Switzerland as he got married to a Swiss woman. I met him in Honduras in 2005, when he was visiting his friends and relatives. And know, it seems that we chose again the same moment to visit Honduras J and we had the same idea concerning the Caribbean beaches as well. We spent a great time together in Tela…swimming, sunbathing and drinking coconut-milk mixed with Gifity, kind of a brandy, made by the local Garifuna-people. Holydays!
Unfortunately Monday in the early morning I had to catch my bus back to Guatemala not to miss my flight on Tuesday… :(
