our day downtown tegcigalpa

today we went downtown and wandered around the central park and suroundings. we climbed up a big hill or small mountain for a view of the city.
we tried a snack of green mangos with salt- very tasty. and papaya shake which was delicious!

also booked our flight from san pedro sula to belize city. the flight we wanted on monday is full. so we are stuck flying out sat at 7am with taca air transferring thru el savador. also costing us double the money we hoped.

-6:40 pm additional posting
we went to cafe honore just a couple blocks from our hotel we shared a crab/shrimp/avocado ceviche, then we each had a steak,salad,bread and potatoes and then i had a baked pear and icecream dessert which was soooooo good really hitvthe spot! we also ordered a bottle of red wine. appartently this place is one of the nicest places to eat in the city, it was likely our nicest meal here in honduras but it was nice and relaxing.


the plan tomorrow to take a bus to the town valle de angeles, the artists village, then stay there overnight at the one and only small hotel.

the next day wednesday the cloud forest called la tigra just outside the town el rosario. we are planning to stay overnight basically camping indoors at the visitor centre. i do not expect it to be nice. but it does have private rooms.

then early on thursday bus to tegcigalpa to get a bus to copan see the ruins staying there overnight.
and then bus friday evening to san pedro get up at 4am for our flight at 7am sat.

after we leave here tomorrow we likely won't have internet until friday night in san pedro or until we get to belize city on sat..
