An all-day trip from Copan to the island of Roatan.
Passed fields of corn, cattle, locals with the men in their white cowboy wide brim hats, locals waiting for the local bus standing by the side of the road, horses roaming freely along the road, other animals like ducks and chicken also roaming freely.
The speed humps didn't help.
The locals came and went.
More cows, pottery sold on the sold of the road, fields of vegetables and a timber milling yard were passed.
The hawkers came on board trying to peddle their wares ... mainly food like burritos and beverage, soft drinks and bottled water.
Two bus breakdowns did not stop us on reaching La Ceiba in time. It was close!
Into taxis and somehow got most of our bags into the trunk / boot and off to the port we headed.
Caught the 4.30 pm ferry for the 90 minute trip over to Roatan Island which is the largest of Honduras' Bay Islands.
