I´m now an advanced open water diver!
Apparently I´m now qualified to hire diving equipment and go down to 30 meters!
I´ll post some underwater photos later, we´ve had no Internet for over a week and it´s all via satellite now.
Last night we all went out for a night dive on a shipwreck!

New Year´s Eve and Utila
New year´s eve was your usual crazy partying.
and I´ll leave you with some pictures of where I´ve been hanging out for the past few days:
Ferry to Utila
After a pretty uneventful night in Le Ceiba we jumped on the ferry to Utila.
This is the nice ferry to Roatan.
and here is our slightly smaller version for Utila.

Off to Utila
This was a crazy few days of travelling trying to reach Utila in time for new year´s eve. Jumped on a minibus from Antigua into the city at 7:30 and from there got what was supposed to be a nice comfortable bus to Rio Dulce. Turned out that it was actually only a minor step up from the chicken buses. Not very comfortable.
However, we eventually reached Rio Dulce and after a bit of wandering around found smoewhere to stay. Not much to say about the place, we were only there for one night. But here is a nice photo.
Next day, jumped straight on a launch to take us to a place called Livingstone. Quite a nice boat cruise along the river and lakes passing a few interesting sights including some hot springs and some nice lilies.
Livingstone was not all that of an interesting place. Not much of a beach and the nightlife was not great.
But we did get to see some local people doing some drumming and dancing.
Next day, it was goodbye livingston, hello to a day travelling on buses to reach Le Ceiba.

Christma!
Finally found some time for updating the blog. So Christmas in Anigua was good fun. Christmas eve was a combination of culture and extreme partying. We all went out for a meal and then the slightly less drunken of us decided to head out to experience a Christmas mas in one of the many churches.
I won´t try and describe it, but it was certainly an experience. Following on from that it was back to the bar to find our friends and carry on the party...
The following day we all met up again for Christmas dinner. No party hats or crackers with rubbish jokes, so it wasn´t entirely traditional, but it was pretty good.
