The road to San Pedro - a change in plans - chicken bus - hit by a car

After Antigua I was going to travel to Honduras but many people said they were going to the lake so I figured why not.

One of the guys at the hostel seemed to know his way and it was going to require taking chicken buses (chicken buses are old North American school buses painted in colourful decorations). Chicken buses are always an interesting experience you have a driver and one or two helpers. The helpers do things like collect money or while the bus is moving jump on top of a moving bus to tie off the luggage and then jump through the emergency exit while the bus is in motion. While getting off one bus I got hit by a car barely but enough to be like "oh shit". I hopped on the back of one bus with barely enough time to get on before it was moving. Next it was the bumpiest boat ride to our destination.

The first night was a lot of rain. Now I am sitting here after being awoken by singing children from a school nearby. I then spent time taking pictures of the beautiful lake town known as San Pedro.
