Goodbye Nicaragua, Hello Honduras
Bootsnall Blog We left Nicaragua on the 29th, after 17 days there. We had decided to move on to Honduras because we were concerned that Bjorn and Emma were not enjoying things as much as Margit and I were, and we thought some diving would really get them excited. Of course, we are not certain […]
