• La Tigra y Tegucigalpa

    December 24, 2022 in Honduras ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    We took it slowly, it's Christmas after all, and drove to La Tigra National Park in the morning, the oldest National Park in Honduras. On the way we had some rain, probably the first time since Los Angeles 😳 When we arrived at the Park, the rain had intensified, so we put on another layer of clothes and then stepped into the rainforest. It was pretty wet and cold and it wasn't that surprising that we were the only visitors. It felt like a proper rainforest and we spent about three hours trekking through the jungle. Unfortunately we didn't see a lot of animals but it was still a nice walk. We got to eat some of the berries that the Quetzals enjoy, and could hear them in the trees, but they don't get out of their nests that late in the afternoon, so we could not see them.
    In the end we were cold and were glad to be back in the cosy warm van and then even the sun came out.

    The drive to the capital took about an hour and we were glad that the hotel we had checked out still had a room available. We relaxed with a hot coffee on the porch and enjoying the few sunrays warming us. In the evening we got ready for our Christmas dinner in town: Pizza Party 🍕😍 We had planned to go to Little Caesars but it was already closed so we went to Domino's. We spend the rest of the evening in our hotel enjoying each others company 🥰
