Going to Copan

This is our third year coming to The Bay Island of Roatan,  and we had never been to the mainland. Our first trip off the island to rio Cangrejal was a wonderful experience.... this time we decided to go a little further afield....to Copan Ruinas

Our flight left Roatan at 6:30 AM. (we might have been the only people at the airport) and 45 minutes later we were in San Pedro Sula, the closest airport to Copan. Then a four hour bus ride.
There is a bus terminal at the airport, however as Daryl and I were the only people waiting, we were sent by taxi to the main terminal, about a half hour away.
The bus did not leave until noonish....
It was a big greyhound style bus. We purchased first class tickets (a reclining seat), but the bus over sold so we got to sit in a regular seat which was just fine.
Finally at 4:30 PM we arrived in Copan.

Tri-moto is the taxi of choice and those little vehicles can sure whip around.

The bed and breakfast was lovely.

The ground were so well maintained, this bunch of bananas were outside our door.

There were flowers of every description everywhere. 

We took a bunch of pictures around town. it was hilly with cobblestone streets.

The sidewalks were built for one.

And we picked up a friend along the way. This pup walked around town with us and came all the way back to our hotel.

The restaurants were certainly high end,,,, and really good food.

The locally made cheese was so good... we might have eaten too much.














There was lots of construction/upgrades on the road coming into town.

I would have to say, even if we had not been able to go to the hot springs or the ruins, this town would have been worthwhile visiting all on its own.

Cheers
