So I got a 4am bus to Copan Ruinas just into Honduras past the Guatemalan Border. We arrived about 11am. Everything in Guatemala seemed slow and inefficient. What a change just crossing a border made!!!
So, at the bus breakfast break I met an Australian woman named Christine, who is doing a 3 month trip by herself at the age of 56. Pretty impressive. So we stayed in the same place, had some lunch in Copan Ruinas - a cute town, but not much to do. We were joined by an American girl, called Melissa who Christine had met previously in Guatemala and we decided to go to these thermal spa. We had to hire a mini bus. Melissa was about 10 mins late and the lady at the cafe who had organised the transportation
for us was going slightly mental and asking me why she wasn't there. There was a lot of stress. It was a big deal for the driver to wait for 5 minutes. It was such a cultural change from Guatemala and Mexico. And I'm not sure I liked it!!!
Here are some pics of the thermal baths. If you've ever been to Banos in Ecuador you'll see they were nothing like that!
