Over the Border

Leaving for Honduras was sad - I loved every minute of my month in Guatemala and would really recommend it to anyone thinking of visiting Central America. So diverse, culturally and geographically, and without fail interesting and entertaining.

However, diving called, so we began the complicated slog to La Ceiba on the north coast of Honduras (boat, bus, border crossing, bus, taxi, bus, taxi) and were rewarded by the most fabulous street food of the trip so far. A simple churrasco from a street grill (indeterminate cut of beef, fried rice, black beans, fried plantain, cheese, tortillas) but every single element was perfectly done and the inspired addition of delicious creamy fresh avocado created a gastranomic marvel! As you will probably notice in the forthcoming pages, food has become something of a fixation, and really good food never goes unrecognised!
