Everybody Has A Cousin In Guanaja!

Jimmy Buffet once sang a song that said that said, everybody has a cousin in Miami. Well, I just came into Guanaja Honduras via the ferry, or the “yacht”, as some call it, and I would swear that everybody has a cousin in Guanaja!

The Island Tours leaves from Trujillo, on the coast of Honduras on Sunday afternoon. Sometimes the ferry leaves at 1:00pm and then sometimes at 3:00pm. It depends on the mood of the Captain. The lady selling coconut bread comes on board to sell her wares before the ship leaves port so you do not go away hungry! This is Honduras, folks and you just never know what will happen next!
