Honduras has been one hell of a roller coaster ride for me.

In fact most people don’t even know what the capital of Belize is. The answer is – Belmopan.

For some reason, the Honduran capital city of Tegucigalpa doesn’t rank highly with backpackers. Most of whom, pass through its elevated streets faster than Ben Johnson on speed. I saw past all Tegucigalpa’s lack of tourism and found a great base for the night deciding to explore the charm of yet another striking yet untouristy Read more about Hotel with a View: Staying at Hotel Linda Vista in Tegucigalpa, Honduras[…]
