First I was not going here, then I was,then I was not again. I ended up stopping here on the way to Honduras and am I glad I did.
Lonely planet did not even mention agua caliente. What is it? The only waterfall in the world that has hot water flowing into a cold river. It was like mother natures hot tub. You have "jets" massaging your body.....and they also have a guide who knows where to get the natural mud for your skin.
The fort that was not meant to be seen. So the first day we stayed in kangaroo hostel. It was nice but expensive to stay and to eat and the food was not great. We moved to hotel Rio vista and it was cheaper, better and the owners were great (sailors from new orleans). I have learned a new card game from some Israelis...yoniv, and have taught people oh hell.
Anyhow back to the fort (and unofficial pirate museum). The first day we were going to go but decided not to. The second day after agua caliente and the river We were going to go but ended up going down water slides with some local kids. The bus took 30 minutes to get us so no time. Day 3 we were going to go first thing in the am before catching a bus to utila, which takes 2 days. My roommate was sick the night before but okay to go, he ordered breakfast and so did I. After breakfast I learned we would be risking missing the only bus if we went to the first. I guess there was a miscommunication and for some reason they did not know we wanted to go for sure. We ended up getting a boat ride to see it from the water.
In utile now, which is great but humid, for diving school. Check out the YouTube video "if you go to utila" time for class. Pictures later.
