Copan Ruins, Honduras

So I met my group yesterday. We're less than 15 people which is great and there's a good mix of nationalities, ages and sexes which is even better. I am flying my french flag proudly, surrounded by a few danes, a dutch, some Brits, an Aussie, a Kiwi, a German and some Americans.

We boarded our little bus this morning at 6 am to make our way to Copan, Honduras. The drive took approx 7 hours and went smoothly (i am probably saying that because it's my first one!). The scenary was spectacular, dense forest on lush mountains...all i saw was green!

We arrived in Copan this afternoon and went straight to the Copan Ruins - a famous and nicely kept set of maya ruins. I am not very good at looking at old stones especially as I hadn't really done my homework but there were some nice details of mayan characters and the pyramids were well preserved.

We are staying one night here and then we are off tomorrow to the coast to a place called Utila. Supposedly there is some great diving to be done there and i might be able to do what I have always dreamt of doing ever since i saw Flipper on TV...yes you guess it...swimming with dolphins!

As it's our first night in the group I definitely think a few bevvies will be in order tonight !
