Livingston

The boat trip from Rio Dulce to Livingston is according to the Lonley Planet one of the highlights of central america. They didn’t write, that if it rains, that you are going to get soaked. Besides of that, I have to admit that it was really nice – we visited some “agua calientes” and saw some nice flowers and animals.
Livingston would be my kind a town. Extremly laid back with a strong Garifuna culture. Similar to Belize. In hostel ”Iguana” I drank some wine out of the TetraPak and watched two movies in a row. Afterwards I checked out the tiny city. After diminishing the hopes of all the local dealers, I spent the day with the 50 year old lady from Washington and 3 german girls. The one thing that I didn’t like about Livingston is, that you can’t swim in the ocean because it’s polluted and there is no beach. But that was exactly what I was looking for. So the next day I wanted to race to Utila, Honduras. Everybody said that it’s possible in one day. Well that just proofes that nobody has an idea what the hell they are talking about.
