Shorter stop then i thought
well i relaxed on the lake for a week and a half. it was very nice to be back and see all my friends here. i was planing on staying a little while longer but we have now gathered a hole group of ppl and where heading to hundorus tomorow, well the fist part on our way at least.
we go to antigua for the day and then catch a night bus from there to copan ruins just over the boarder in hundorus spend a bit of time there and then head to the islands to go diving for a cuple weeks. theres enuff of us that we should be getting a house togeather for a little bit.
im really looking forword to it.
I just did a short cuple day trip with an isrealie friend of mine. we went into antigua for the night. stayed at a isrealie hostle, it was funny how many ppl my friend new walking in there. we joined up with 4 isrealie girls and took a few different busses to make our way to the town near coban (witch i cant rember the name of) met up with two more isrealie guys to make the rest of the jerney with. when we had finsaly got to our hotel it had been a good 11 hours of travel. we ate and went out and partied all night and where up first thing the next moring to go caving. we went swiming threw these caves for a cuple hours with a guid. it was really bazare climbing rope latters and swimming in freezing cold water with only a candle each for light. it was even more difficult for me becasue i sprained my wrist last week falling down a small cliff in the dark so it was imposable for me to use it at all.
after we climbed a small mountain to see the vuies over Semuc Champey. there these gourgus cascading blue green pools and water falls. when we got to the top me and team isreal had our lunch in the rain. it took us over an hour to get down this mountain in the pooring rain. by far the most dangerus thing ive done on this hole trip. bare foot with one screwed arm going down slipppery mud in between sharp rocks. im so saprised that no one got seriously hurt. and please, i dont one to hear one coment on being carfull.
swimming in the pools was amazing. just so pretty.
heres a web site if you wanna see some pictures.
we missed our ride back to the town where our hotel was so me and the five israels i was traveling with started talking to a cuple of canadian girls and figured out a plan for another way to get back, when our mini bus pulls up, he came back to look for us after he took the other ppl home. we had dinner with the 3 canadian girls and met and talked to some more isrealies. after cleaning up a bit we went out and partied. we where our drinking till late, it was after 2am when i got to bed. and my alarm went off at 4am to get up and catch my bus back to te lake. well my first chicken bus of the day anyways.
it took about 15 hours of cramed busses and and boat rides to get back to the lake but we did it all it one go.
today i relaxe, tonight i part and tomorow i travel again.
i love life

Mikkel...
Glad you made it down the mountain without incident. See, I didn't yell at your for your lack of foresight about your foot and the slippery mountain, just glad you're safe! :)
I'm glad you're traveling again soon. I'm greedy for your exciting stories... or anything at all to read while I'm "working".
Take of yourself. I think of you everytime I read another chapter in the book! :)
Love ya,

Hi Mik, That trip sounds great. The pictures are amazing. I would hope you had a guide taking you through the caves. It looks pretty dark, you could get lost really easy. That's nice you have met people from all over to travel with again. Have you been taking more pictures? Hope your wrist is doing Ok.
Still really hot here. Can't complain though, Winter will be here before we know it. I think it's great. Ryan bought a Jetski, so we've been to the beach a few times with it, but not like the beaches you see.
Anyway have a good trip with your new traveling budds, Love Ya, JoJO
Hi Mik:
Wow! Your adventures keep getting better and better. It is amazing what you will endure when there is something so worthwhile at the other end. Life is exciting and wonderous and you are learning so much. Very proud of you. 15 or so hours on a crowded bus is not what most would like to experience, but you do it cheerfully, well done.
Enjoy your time in Honduras. Eat lots of pineapples and enjoy the water.
Love you so much, Mom and Dee
