La Ceiba

Yes, that’s what it seems. We got stuck in La Ceiba. The plan was to travel through this Caribbean port town but unfortunately we got some problems whilst trying to take out money from an ATM. The machine swallowed my credit card and that on a Sunday. We tried to call the emergency number that we found next to the ATM and spoke with some bank employee who in the end couldn’t help us at all since it was Sunday and nobody was working. So we decided to stay until Monday and to go to the bank (Credomatic) in the morning. We were there at 8.00 a.m., they let us wait about an hour before they would call some people to check the ATM. The people couldn’t be reached because they were out of the office attending some other money machines out of town. The only thing they told us was that the ATM, where my credit card was inside, would be checked the same day. So we tried to stay calm and got back at 3.00 p.m. to see if there had been any news. Fortunately, for us and them, they had good news. We got my credit card back and were able to fill our pockets with money. Tomorrow, at last, we will be off for the Bay Islands.

You’ll here more from us and our adventures on the Bay Islands in about a week.

Take care!
