We decided to visit Copan, a town in Honduras about 15 minutes from the Guatemalan boarder, to take Rod to see some Mayan ruins.

Copan is famous for its well preserved intricate Mayan carvings and hyrogliphics. Its rulers also had some of the coolest names in history such as Smoke Jaguar, 18 Rabbit and Smoke Monkey.

However, the biggest surprise was the town itself. A quaint and colourful colonial town where cowboys gather around the main square, it´s an easy town to enjoy. In addition to the numerous funky bars and restaurants, it is also home of the JAMAICANMECRAZY - a delicious fruit cocktail with 3 different types of rum.

The night got a little crazy after we had exhausted the various happy hours around town and ended up at our hotel (the excellent Via Via Cafe) which had transformed itself into Copan´s party central. Jack and Rod ended the night at a jungle reggae bar complete with bamboo swings and local thugs!

Another day, another hangover, another long bus ride...
