Following the departure of the Sarah and Rob the weather took
a turn for the worse and the rain started to pour. Our mission for the next three days was to get off
Roatan and get on with our travels. Unfortunately every time we reached the ferry terminal the ferry was cancelled and the airport booked out due to the amount of people trying to leave. Spending the next few nights enjoying beer in the power blackouts became a habit until the morning of the 5
th when we met some others in the wait to be told the ferry wasn't running who shared our need to leave. With these 3 other desperate travellers we ended up finding options for a getaway including, chartering a plane, bribing the ferry and a last resort of swimming (30km).
Luckily we managed to get on a paper list for an old
Russian military plane which took off with 12 passengers all crossing fingers until touchdown.
Finally getting onto mainland Honduras we quickly made up for lost time by jumping on
the first bus to the
Copan ruins...
