Lost on a dirt road in Central America!

Going the right way sometimes means getting lost.

In this case traveling through some of the parts of Honduras on the way to Copan I was getting prett lost and sidetracked most of the time. I was just following random directions from a man in town who said to keep going straight, the road will start getting bad but keep going straight. Well turns out I went too far.  I ended up in an area with a great view right before sunset. Sometimes the route you take turns out to be some of the best and freshest through the mountain passes. I didnt realize how green or full of mountains Honduras really was, since the last time I crossed through was a rush job through the southernmost area of the country. It only took me 4 hours to cross the country where I passed through. This time around there was days to be had in the amazing country.  I was told to stay away from the major cities since there is where most of the violence and assaults were. I took that into consideration and made my way to the capital Tegucigalpa and headed north towards San Pedro Sula. Where there is much gang violence to this day and random killings  between the two rival gangs. It seemed I was going through a lot of towns where the military presence greatly outnumbered the local Police. There were areas I passed through where the military had orders to shoot on site any gang member.

I got a quick rundown from the locals on what to expect throughout the country as well as not to be out late at night. Me having tattoos and not being from there increased my chance of running into trouble. It seems that El Salvador is on the same mission to flush out all the gang members so they are fleeing from there to the surrounding countries like Honduras and Guatemala. With some of the borders being free passage and not really checking anything it seemed easy to get into the country to cause some mayhem.

What to do on a private beach!

As you come out of the small windy tight secret entrance you arrive at a final destination........So there you have it..... your own private beach! You have it all to yourself. No huge crowds, no crowded sandy areas. Just freedom! You have all the time to explore and enjoy all of this for your own. Well for me, it involved taking full advantage with a nice swim and a couple of wave jumps. No surfboard so I ran to jump right into the water!!  I almost forgot to take my sandals off as I made it to the edge of the bright blue sea! I quickly flicked them off and got ready for a new experience!

Stepping in the water was a shock as it always is.....my feet anticipate the cold depths of the ocean but are met with a warm caress and pleasurable temperatures!  The ocean with its calm and wild nature is something that always soothes my soul and relaxes me down to my core. There are a lot of things I enjoy in life and being in such a spectacular part of the world is one of them. Feelings I cant describe as I am more than waist deep and look back at the shore....my bike waving HI along the shoreline. I wave back and continue my exploration of blissful sensations. After a couple wave sessions I start to think that I am not wearing any sunscreen at all.....which starts to make me think about the last time I got sunburnt.....which then makes me think of the discomfort. As I unwillingly step out of the ocean I look along the beach and decide its time to ride!!


There is nothing more visually delicious than being on a beach surrounded by all of nature and being able to do whatever you want. I strapped a stick and camera to my bike and took off to just cruise around the beach and enjoy riding on one of the many beaches in Central America.  Going back and forth, over the water crossings and on the sand flats I started to have more and fun and throw a little more and more wrist on it.Definitely had a great time out there with my girl, and we will be back one day for sure. Of course I gave her a good cleaning after, but it was all in good fun and definitely enjoyed another chance at riding on a private beach!!!!

My advice, link up with a local to show you the good spots!  This beach was south of Dominical, Costa Rica.

Camping in Costa Rica

How some of the best days are spent!

I really didn't plan for this trip as I should have, and literally brought the bare minimum. thanks to great friends I can and have been enjoying the freedom of camping and just watching the waves on my hammock, as well as not having to rush to hotels or hostels.  There are a lot of great things in the world and oene of them being the fact that you can wake up , unzip your tent and BAMM there is the ocean for a quick morning dip and a fresh start for the day!. Camping has always been one of my favorite things to do and It was a shame I didnt get to do much of it on the way through Mexico and a couple other countries because of lack of gear. But now its on! and has been on!!! There are so many apps now that give you pointers to great campsites and places to go and things to do etc, its never ending!
