Subject: Post: Sometimes we just have to do things the difficult way. There would have been a tourist shuttle bus from Copan Ruinas to San Salvador for $40 per person. We however felt that it was too highly overpriced, and choose to do the trip a different way.In the morning we started with a 06:45 bus to Santa Rosa de Copan for 100 lempiras each, got lost there a bit and finally found the next bus to Ocotepeque close to El Salvador border for another 90 lempiras. 10 lempiras more and we were at the border by a minibus, crossed it by walking and took a long and sweaty $2.5 bus to San Salvador where we arrived around 17:00 for the combined price of mere $11 for the entire trip. Not bad at all. $5 taxi for the rest of the trip, and we had arrived to Hostel Cumbres del Volcan (the same one as last time).Seems like we were a bit of an oddity on the local bus, the highschool kids were giggling and staring at us. :)By the way, now I regret calling Timo "Los BaƱos Rapidos" for a couple of days.. Guess who had also buy antibiotics in a pharmacy in Santa Rosa.. Well, they seem to help fast. Guess my chicken burrito yesterday was not so well cooked, it tasted a bit raw.
