This was going to be a 6hr travel day from Guatemala to Honduras, but the roads this time were quite bus friendly and thankfully not windy so 6hrs went very quickly.
We arrived in Copan by lunchtime and we had a little look around the town. Basically Allison showed us where the bottle shop, restaurants and bars were.
We were picked up by Jesus at 4pm and driven 45mins out of Copan to a hot springs waterfall and pools. We changed into our swimmers and walked across the quite fast flowing river to the waterfall. This pretty waterfall was boiling hot! We sat in this rockpool where the hot water and the freezing water from the river mixed and kind of made a pleasant spa. I say kind of pleasant because the hot, hot water and the freezing water didn't actually mix all that well.
After about 30 mins we walked back across the river and went and sat in the manmade pools, which the locals pumped the hot water into. It wasn't as hot as the waterfall but it was still very nice and even more so when someone cracked open the esky full of corona!
Jesus was in charge of the bbq and once it was dark we had chicken, beef, salsa, roasted veg and garlic bread - it was delicious. The perfect end to a travel day.
