The red line is our cycle route and the dotted blue line is a side-trip we took by bus (4 hours each way) to the Mayan ruins at Copan.  One of Honduras' main attractions for travellers are the Bay Islands off the northern coast.  We decided not to include this as a further side trip as we were anxious to press on with our cycle trip.  Although we enjoyed much of the scenery we did not venture far from the main highway except around Lago Yojoa, which is a picturesque lake between San Pedro Sula and Cormayagua, which we spent a couple of days at recovering from a bout of gastroenteritis.  We crossed into Nicaragua at Guasaule having descended again into the lowlands of the pacific coast.
