(^34) La Ceiba – Tela - 103 kilometres
The ride to Tela was effortless, and although extremely hot, it was relatively flat.
We ambled on to Tela, where a comfortable bed was unearthed at Bertha’s. Ernest
visited the supermarket for ingredients to concoct a salad. The salad turned out
quite substantial and was loaded with olives, boiled eggs and avocadoes, all on a
bed of lettuce.
Tela was a small, busy Honduran town featuring a lovely beach stretching several
kilometres east and west. The town centre was a hive of activity with narrow, busy
streets, a lively market and hectic traffic. However, I, strangely, felt quite at home.
A short meander along the beach brought us to La Ensenada. In this small
indigenous settlement, carefree kids played in puddles and rustic restaurants
served fresh seafood at the shore. Colourful fishing boats along the beach
completed the picture.
