Nicaragua & Honduras - Colonial Diving

Nicaragua and Honduras have been a faster travel through, and I won't be ranting about the amount of knowledge accumulated about both countries.

But as soon as the border of Nicaragua has been crossed, it's been a notch up on real travel immersion, away from the travelling crowd of Costa Rica. Of notice, the beauty of its colonial cities and architecture, as Granada and Leon, some small nature's beauty like Isla de Ometepe, and the warmth of Nicaraguans.

After 3 weeks of cruising, and paying the standard cost of a casual extreme food poisoning, the road was set to Honduras.

The first destination there has been Utila, in the Bay Islands. It remains the cheapest diving paradise on the globe, and flying underwater was the main activity. The place is a chill-vortex, and the amount of travellers stuck on the island for months speaks for it.

Pit-stop then to the Copan ruinas, a mind-blowing Mayan's heritage, and a perfect apetizer to the following journey in Guatemala. Hey ! And by the way, thank you so very much to Linda and Chris for everything...

Here are some shots of both countries:
