Today was one sopping wet adventure of a day.
As predicted by the travel guides, we left San Pedro Sula as quickly as humanly possible. The city just didn't sit well with us, so we caught a taxi to the bus station, and high-tailed it out of there as fast as we could. (Which isn't really that fast, thanks to the Honduran perception of time.) We landed in Tela, a small coastal town, which is where we've been for the past two days.
So today we took a day trip out to Punta Sal, a protected beach only a boat's ride from our shores. And that is where our wild ride began. The waters are notoriously rough, but today exceptionally so. We made it out there this morning without much ado, but as we played on the beach in this National Park, we saw the swells get bigger and bigger. And we took a beating coming back to the mainland. Our video footage is truly YouTube worthy. We got tossed and churned like no other boat ride I've ever been on. But we made it back safe and sound, albeit drenched, to the shores of Tela.
Tomorrow we're off to Le Ceiba and the adventure continues...
