Okey!

Allright, 3 comments convinces me! (I kind of know you all are still reading, haha, but I sat on a scorpion, so I thought that might was enough to get a comment, and now I got 3, I´m happy as ever;)


So, the donkey story, it all happened in Trujillo, but I think maybe I haven´t even told you about Utila? No, I haven´t!

After that sick week in Guatemala and San Pedro Sula, we had 2 good days in Tela, stayed at a great new hostel, with clean rooms and all, and why is that interestin? It is not so many of those, and it was really pleasant, and we felt like we were splurging, but it wasn´t expensive, so it was just a great deal! OK, maybe not so interesting, but it was a wooden house, and I´m so tired of all the cement..



OK, so after Tela, we were a bit in the blue about what to do and where to go, but we decided after some time to join Ragnhild and go to Utila, and island outside La Ceiba on the Caribbean Coast, where Kjersti was kind of waiting for us and hoping that we wouldn´t force her to join us on the mainland again, and I kind of can see why, Utila is a tiny island with ok beaches(have seen better, but is you came straight from Norway they would be more than ok)and lots of good restaurants and hostels, and lots of diving! So we took the boat over there, and surprised Kjersti a lot, and found a nice little hotell, and after that we spent 5 days just eating good food and enjoying good company and nice beaches. The last day we went on a day trip tp the Cayes, a small bunch of tiny tiny tiny islands just outside Utila, I spent the day at the biggest one of the tiniest one, it lives 1000 people out there, in total, and they live on top of each other, it was not room for one more house or one more person, haha, it was full! Did some snorkeling and some sunbathing and then Kristoffer went with the boat to have 2 fun dives!!! He saw giant sea turtles and a lot of fish, and I don´t know, cause I can´t dive, so you have to ask him when we are coming back. But on the way back to Utila in the evening we all saw 4 dolphins from the boat!! Amazing!

The day after we left Utila for Trujillo, further up on the Caribbean Coast on the mainland, so we said goodbye to Ragnhild and Kjersti late that night, and took the boat at 06 in the morning back to La Ceiba, and then onwards with bus for a few hours. We arrived at 12 at a place called Casa Kiwi, outside of Trujillo, a small hostel thing on the beach which Lonely Planet says a lot of good things about, but it turned out the restaurant, the only option for getting a meal, wasn´t that good.. But the thing they have got is a shipwreck, close to the beach, which you can go snorkelling on.. Lonely Planet says it is "easily accessible from the beach", but I think maybe this is a place they have not been to, just written about! Kristoffer managed to swim out there, I guess it was 400 meters, and then you can add the wind and the tides, so on the way back, he really felt it, I didn´t have the guts to try.. The next day we tried to get closer to the wreck on land, but then the beach stops and we walked in rubbish and I don´t know what, it was disgusting, and the water was yellow and smelly and full of slime and algae, so when we reached a point where it was maybe just 200 meters to swim out, then the water was so disgusting that I decided not to do it, not worth it.. Maybe some other time! But this is where the story of the donkey comes:

We were walking along the mainroad that goes along the beach to get as close to the wreck as we could, when all of a sudden that thing that moves towards us is not a donkey and a man or a man on a bike or whatever, it is just a donkey, trotting on alone along the mainroad, nice and gentle on the side of the road, hehe, but when it got closer to us it started screaming, you know, skryte, like donkeys do, and it showed us it´s teeth in a scary way and running towards us, and Kristoffer just lept over the road to the other side, and I followed his example, and then the donkey passed us, but it didn´t attack or anything, it just shut up and followed it´s original plan, whatever that was, and continued along the main road on it´s own. HAHA, WHAT A SIGHT! And then later that day, after we had not swum out to the wreck, but returned to Casa Kiwi and had a swim at that nice beach, clean and all, then all of a sudden a cow comes walking towards us, all alone on the beach!!! HAHAHAHAHA

So we left Casa Kiwi (and are planning to send LP a mail about what it is really like..) We went in to Trujillo, a small town (only 10 000 or something) and saw an old spanish fort and had a great dinner of Conch soup and Lobster soup, mhmhm! The next day we thought of going to El Salvador, but Trujillo was so nice we decided to stay one more day. We went and saw the strangest museum ever, just a giant collection of old stuff, a barn full of items and dust and I don´t know what, but I do know that that museum is perfect for all the men in my family, they know how to see the valuable in old stuff like that, old coins and stamps and chairs and telephones and writingmachines and bombs and even some old Mayan sculptures and so on and so on.. Crazy filled barn.. Outside the barn was a big cage with 4 spidermonkeys in, and althought they looked really bored and that is really sad, it was amazing to come so close to them. Did you know that monkeys hands have the softest fingers, and even fingernails? It was amazing.
And that evening, of all things, a lonely horse comes walking down the street in town, all alone, but definetely with a plan and mission, HAHAHAHA!!!!

So, after more good food and good vibes in Trujillo, we finally left for El Salvador, on the Sunday, caught a bus at 06 in the morning, and changed buses in San Pedro Sula, didn´t get all the way to El Salvador that day, since it was Sunday and less buses, so we had a stopover in Santa Rosa close to the border in Honduras, a nice little town, with a good pizzeria and we even had TV in our room, so I watched Sense and Sensibility, HAHAHAHA!!

On Monday we arrived in El Salvador, spent a few hectic hours in San Salvador, the capital, to try and find the right bus, and finally we left for La Libertad, changed buses again and arrived at Tunco beach in the evening. Found a nice place to stay, with a pool and a good restaurante, and every day since, it is Friday today, so for the last 4 days, I have stayed in the hammock and the pool and Kristoffer is surfing all he can, getting better every day! Yeah! We like El Salvador too:)
