Peña Blanca (Honduras) - passing through

The Lago Yojoa area seemed to promise a decent place to chill out after a long journey from Trujillo. A journey extended by roadblocks set up by those protesting at the recent annexing of the leftist president. But that's another story. Part of the allure was talk of lakeside hotel which was also a micro brewery. Arriving there at dusk with rain setting in, to find the brewery part had closed down, no lake in sight and disgusting rooms, was disappointing to say the least. Bloody guide books.

That said, we found somewhere else to stay which was tolerable, if expensive, and the food in the area was cracking. Fresh fish from the lake with, wait for it, green vegetables. A rare treat and I don't know why as the markets are full of them. In the morning, we checked out a 43m waterfall called Cascada de Pulhapanzak before, once again, hopping on a chicken bus and hitting the road.
