Day 11: Ometepe, Nicaragua
So I woke up this morning after my first night at the home stay. I was greeted by the sounds of mangoes falling onto our roof, rain, roosters and various other animals – apparently it is a Mayan tradition to knock on wood when you hear geckos around, and then they ‘talk’ to you.

Day 9: Granada, Nicaragua

Day 6: Roatan, Bay Islands
I can’t believe that this is my last day in paradise. It’s gone far too quickly; I never want to leave! I’ll have to start with the bad news though – the evening following my last blog post ended pretty badly.
Day 5: Roatan, Bay Islands

Day 3: Copan, Honduras
Today was our first day of proper ‘rest’ and gave us the opportunity to explore the town of Copan a little more.
Day 2: Copan, Honduras
So, today was my first proper day travelling across Central America!
