• Day 101 - Honduras

    August 10, 1974 in Honduras

    (Ursula) It feels so comfortable here at this Trailer Park. My two heroes had work to do on the car. Meanwhile, I was relaxing and swinging comfortably in a hammock.

    The national currency here is Lempira.

    In the afternoon, we continued our journey to San Marcos de Colón, where we ate lunch at the Hilton.

    They charged us an extra $5.10 at the Nicaragua border because it was Saturday. Some of their policies are puzzling me. They take every opportunity to make an extra buck.

    Nicaragua didn’t look much different from Honduras.

    We stopped twice for sightseeing and desperately looked for a place to camp. Meanwhile, it was getting dark, and the best spot we could find was by a brightly lit gas station in the shadow of a large truck.

    Not so ideal, but at least it seemed safe.
