After all the sun I decided it was time to head back for the hills. Seanan and I split ways and he headed to San Pedro Sula to take a plane to another country and I headed up a river inland from La Ceiba to try my hand at white water rafting and to hike some green paths.
I ended up at Jungle River lodge, a drive far enough from La Ceiba to bring you deep into the thick green of Honduras.
I fell asleep as soon as I arrived and the next day I tried my hand at white water rafting. It was slightly touristy but still super fun. My favorite part was when we were scrambling up the river, jumping of ledges and swimming against the currents.
The jungle was thick, green, and dense around the river and on my last day I went on a hike out to a waterfall on my own.
When I returned I found that the family I had met the night before were going on a road trip to a place near Lake Yojoa. Since that was kind of my destination eventually too they offered to pile me into the family van with them for the trip. I packed my things, jumped in the van and we were off to go deeper into the jungle! On the trip I got to hear the Spanish version of, “99 bottles of beer on the wall”(it had something to do with elephants) and I got to meet a real-life half Honduran, half Ethiopian prince, except he wasn’t really a prince. 5 hours later the family dropped me off at the lake and I was left to my own devices again to navigate my way to D&D brewery, where I would be staying for the next few days.
