5 May 2013..Hello Honduras!!

05 May

No pics today because the ride from Granada ,Nicaragua to Tegucigalpa, Honduras was brown, bland and uninteresting. The less used border crossing I elected to go through was quiet and efficient on both sides and I was in and out in an hour.

Days Ride

450km ride from Granada to Tegucigalpa…

Nicaraguan roads turned out to be pretty good although I made a point of not riding the Pan-American because my experience is that its always congested with trucks and the road as a result is often a mess because of this. Choosing “secondary” albeit paved roads has proven to be good because they are often shorter, mostly in better condition and less congested.

Honduras unfortunately doesn’t have much visual appeal thus far although the people I have met have been super friendly and English is widely spoken.  Tomorrow I head for the Mayan Copan Ruins in Northern Honduras on the border with Guatemala and will no doubt have loads pictures thereafter.

 
Be a sport Many of us have the means and wherewithal to undertake the dreams we want but elect to choose otherwise, many however, do not and that is the purpose of this plea. Afrika Tikkun (http://afrikatikkun.org// ) is a South African non governmental, non profit charity organisation run by the Lubner family that in essence does just that; re-provide the possibility to dream and to create the possibility of turning those dreams into a reality.

Unlike many pleas of this nature, I am not looking for any kind of sponsorship for my trip, but I am looking for your donation, regardless of its size to Afrika Tikkun. Please pledge generously as this is a fantastic cause that will assist them to provide food, care, education, health and social services to those that are desperately in need.
