Bienvenido a Honduras

Hola from heaven on earth, Roatan Island.

 

Where the sand is white and shine like gold, the water is clear and transparent more the Mei Eden bottle and the tourists are rich American with tons of dollars. Yeah, it's not a backpackers place but it's definitely a great nice island to visit and to make a diving course.

 

Oh yeah, I took the diving course which was fucking amazing, great adventure with lots of practise underwater what to do in case of emergency like you have no air, no mask or if you losing all you gear.

I even had to read a huge book in English and to had an exam, I nearly failed, I got only 76 while the pass is from 75.

Anyway, the reef here is great, nice giant fish with tons of colors, and the feeling is like swimming in aquarium.

 

My first night in Honduras was in the capital city Tegucigalpa, I met 3 Israelis that just came from this haven (Roatan Island) and they told me not to miss it. So basically we talked and played cards all the evening and then at 23:00 we felt hungry and I suggested to go out to have some food even tough the lonely planet says be careful it's a dangerous city and all that shit.

The other Israelis didn't like the idea but I managed to convince the guy to come with me and that we will bring some food for us and the girls that was too afraid to come out with us. So after the guy took a pepper spray (GAS MADMIAA - in case we will get attack) of his girlfriend, we went out from the hostel and started to walk 25 meters, then I saw a nice decent guy, looks good with cellular and asked him in Spanish "Besculpe Senyor donde esta el comida?" (Excuse me sir, where is food?) he didn't look at me at the first time so I asked more loudly the same question, then he just put two fist in the air and get into a combat position like he want to attack me. When I saw this I got panic and cross the street, after 2 seconds the police came out of no where.

At first I was so happy, wow what a great protection and safe city, but then 3 police officers came out of the car and each one of them grabbed one of us (one on the local guy, and two on me and the other Israeli guy). The police did a body search on us, and we felt like Arabics in the SHTACHIM. The police asked us for passport and we both didn't have it on us, I tried to convince them in my broken Spanish to come to our hotel which is only 25 meters from the incident, but with no luck. They wanted to arrest us and take us to the police station, but after 10 minutes of explaining to them that we are sorry and it will not happen again and it's my first night in Honduras and I just went out to grab some food, and my passport is not on me because it's dangerous to carry it on in this danger city, and all that shit. I just told them ok let me go back to sleep, I'm sorry and they just let us go. We had luck somehow but unfortunately we went to bed hungry and on empty stomach.

 

till next time, Adios,

Last night in Nicaragua

Long time no speak since my mind was busy on other things.
Carmel left me to Costa Rica, and I´m all alone once again but I hope only till my next stop in Honduras.
I wanted to cross the border today but it was too late, so I had to stay the night in small local town that seems like I am the only tourist in here, but for the first time after 2 months I found myself a giant room with Hot shower (yeah, up until now since Montaverde in Costa Rica I was showering in cold water).

In the last week and a half me and Carmel was in Granada and San Juan Del Sur. In Granada me and Eddie found some good night life and discotechs which was really fun, and we went to one of the lakes of Nicaragua and played some chess, yeah, once again I won.

San Juan Del Sur is an amazing place with great beach and we spend there the last week, nice clear very cold water and beautiful beach. Most of the time me and Carmel got ourselves drunk with beers, slept the afternoon and watched movies in our great room that I used to clean everyday.

In the weekend we had a huge party of Harley Davidson bikers from all over america, it's was so cool to see there pices and many came from all over central america. Finally a good party like in israel that you pay entry and then have free drinks all night.

see ya,

Hola mi amigos, ¿que paso? (Shalom my friends, MA KORE ?)
Aki para Nicaragua todo bien (here in Nicaragua everything is good).

So...my last week was so chilled out and Tranquilo, Carmel (a cute girl I met in Israel that came to travel with in Nicaragua), me and Eddie (Turkish guy that lives in Munich and we met in the hostel) got hooked up to the Lazy Bones Hostel, because of the swimming pool.
But...since I can´t sit to much on my ass while doing nothing I went to sand boarding which was suppose to be real fast and cool but I lost my balance all the time and rolled over in the sand couple of times and lost all the momentum, even though it was pretty nice view of a volcano and good attraction.
The day after I took them by force (since I got so bored sitting all day on the air mattress in the pool and reading a book I got from Tomer, Israeli guy that had so much weight and couldn´t carry his bug) to Leon Vicho (the old Leon city that got ruined after the volcano explode) it was nice and it´s was nice expirence to see the poor village of Nicaragua.


The weekend we spent in Los Paintes nice peacful village that sit right on the beach, we had fucking close room to the water you could hear the waves all night (MAMASH BE MERCHAK YERIKA ME AYAM).

It was so peacful and quite, I almost finished the book I got (as you all know I never ever read a book in my life!). In the rest of the time we played checkers with one of Nicaraguan employee that always bits us, and chess between each other (me & Eddie).
BTW: 4 wins in a row, so prepare yourself Elad!
We also drunk lots of cocktails & beers while getting tan and listening to mp3 music.


Right now, we are in Granada another city that I already been here but never had the chance really to travel in it. Granada really reminds me the classic Europe since it all looks like from the middle age (YEMI ABENAEEM) just like in Amsterdam, Barcelona or even Paris, but of course they have here tons (as many as we have street cats in Israel) of street dogs dying for food and a lot of dirt and sewage that floating in the middle of the street.


thats all for now,
