On our last day in Honduras, we were climbing up towards Las Manos border crossing into Nicaragua when we were curb crawled by an SUV full of TV presenters from different networks. They flagged us down and introduced themselves as Hable Como Habla (HCH) and Radio Globo. They wanted an interview …

Lars and Jenny — Fri, 13 Sep 2013 13:30:59 +0000

Following three days of exploration in La Tigra National Park, we were ready to head out of the cloud forest and into Valle de Angeles, a colonial town with coffee shops, artesian gift stores, art galleries and restaurants. After eating nothing but baleadas in the wilderness (Lars ate about 20), we had …

Shimano Freehub Repair, BiciMania, Tegucigalpa

Copán Ruinas was our introduction to Honduras and turned out to be a great place to stopover for a few days of rest and sight seeing. Aside from the obvious attraction of the amazing ruins, the town itself offers several nice cafes and restaurants with feeling overly spoilt with tourism.
