From León our next stop is the Bay Island of Utila in Honduras. It's a long way so after crossing the Honduran border, with surprisingly little trouble, and 9 hours of travel we stop for the night in Comayagua, a bland town with not much to see - hence no photos.
We travel for most of the next day to La Ceiba where we catch the 5pm ferry to Utila. It's a rough ride (and a wet one for those outside on deck) so it's a relief to finally arrive after nearly two days of travelling.
The laid back, almost trippy Bay Islands (the other island being Roatan) are renowned for great diving and snorkelling. The reefs are a continuation of the Belize reefs, the second largest in the world after Australia's Great Barrier Reef and are teeming with fish, coral, sea turtles and even whale sharks, if you're lucky.
