Lago de Yojoa - a bird lovers paradise + Pulhapanzak Waterfall




So I caught the 6.20am boat from Utila back to mainland Ceiba. They're so lovely on that boat they hand out plastic bags and tissues for all the people who are going to vomit!!! I was prepared and took a sea-sickness tablet.




Then back to San Pedro Sula and onto an El Mochito bus (RG - your explanation SUCKS!!!) which is essentially a chicken bus where you get the ticket aboard the bus to El Mochito but get off at Los Naranjos. 4pm I arrive at D+D Brewery and met a lovely couple Rony and Nila (Belgian) over a home brewed beer.




The 3 of us arranged with Malcolm (eccentric English bird specialist with a grey plaited beard, need I say more) to take us out for a 4 hours bird watching trip at 6am the next morning. So I think not only am I over my fish phobia, but also my bird (minus pigeons) phobia.

The waterfall was nice, better than the one that Claudia, Greg and I walked miles to see in Phuket, but obviously not quite Niagra or Iguazu! However we paid for a "tour" to walk behind it and view it from a ledge behind it. It's pretty much as scary as it sounds and there is so much water you can't actually see anything, or really breathe, in fact it was far worse than I had imagined it'd be. I didn't enjoy that at all. It appears I've exchanged my fish and bird phobia for an adrenalin/ adventure phobia. So I'm now in one of the dullest towns ever....
