V přístavu přišla špatná zpráva - loď na ostrov Utila odjíždí sice už za dvě hodiny (tedy kolem 16:00), ale protože doba jízdy je asi hodina, přijel bych tam krátce před setměním. Zpátky, abych stihl autobus z La Ceiba před 14:00, bych naopak musel vyjet už v 7:00 ráno.

I learned bad news in the harbor. The boat to Utila leaves in only two hours (i.e., around 4 pm), but as the travel time is about an hour, I would be there shortly before dusk. In order to catch a bus from La Ceiba before 2 pm, I would have to leave the island at 7 am. I would see nothing from the island. A trip to Roatán takes two hours, so I did not even look for details. One last hesitation - shouldn't I give up the train trip in favor of an island? I decided quickly - there have been so much confusion and wasted time because of the train already, that it is worth finishing. And the coast in nearby Garifuna villages is similar to that in Utila, at least according to a guidebook.

V posledních letech je ale vidět pohyb k lepšímu - po skončení občanské války roku 1996 roste hospodářství, přicházejí zahraniční investoři (hlavně korejští) a především, původní obyvatelé se už nemusí obávat násilí ze strany partyzánů nebo vojska. Osm let je na hlubší změny ve společnosti příliš krátká doba.

There are about 60 % of Natives in Guatemala (another 30 % are mestizos, the remaining 10 % are of a European origin). Most of them are illiterate and understand only their crafts (and of course money). The education system is unfortunately on a low level - public schools have bad teachers and many parents prefer their children to work at home. Wealthier families, who can afford it, send their children to private schools (they are however expensive - dozens or hundreds of dollars a month). The result is a firmly stratified society with the rich keeping up and the poor staying on the bottom over generations. The society is, however, progressing - after the end of the civil war in 1996, the economy grows, foreign investors come (mainly from Korea) and, most significantly, the Natives do not have to fear violence from the guerillas or the army. We should not expect any deeper changes just eight years after the end of the war.

Během krátké chvíle tu jedou dva plné mikrobusy, třetí mne bere. Za chvíli se dovím důvod - hned vedle naleziště je banánová plantáž, je doba sklizně a oběma směry jezdí množství zemědělských dělníků.

We continue on a good, but curvy road (did they try to follow borders of plantations?). The van goes to Puerto Barrios, but I do not need to go that far. As there are many people inside (as usual), I asked the driver at the customs office, to drop me off on the junction with main road at Entre Ríos. This is where you can catch a bus towards Guatemala City, which leaves from Puerto Barrios, and save at least an hour. It works, the driver stops, several people get off and I transfer to a just coming van. (The Dutch continue - also on my recommendation - to Puerto Barrios and Livingston, and tomorrow they will take a boat to Río Dulce). We go to Morales (you can follow on a map, Morales is displayed as "Mo" on the right-hand edge) and further along CA9 road to the junction for Quiriguá archaeological site. This is my main destination for today. I wanted to see it for a long time, but last September I preferred a ride on a freight train. I get off at the crossroads. According to the map, the site is several miles away and I am a little worried, if I get there. But we are in Guatemala, which means that public transport works. In a short while, two packed vans pass by and the third takes me. I learn the reason soon - there is a banana plantation next to the ruins, it is a time of a harvest and many farm workers travel both ways.

Na fasádách je stále vidět, že to kdysi byla výstavná čtvrť - něco jako pražské Nové Město nebo Vinohrady. Ta doba už je ale dávno pryč, a dnes tu bydlí jen chudina (či spíš spodina). Po dlouhé přímé ulici přijíždíme na centrální náměstí - Plaza Mayor.

Initially I did not plan to see the downtown of Guatemala City (Zona 1). Guidebooks usually discourage tourists from coming here because of high crime. Luckily, we had friends who know the area. On Sunday morning they took us (with my Belgian colleague) on a city tour in a car. In the southern suburb (Zona 10), there are usually well-maintained office buildings and restaurants. In downtown, however, there are old city houses in a bad condition. Facades still tell that this used to be a wealthy area in the past - something like Schaarbeek in Brussels, for those who know it. This is now over. Nowadays, it seems that only lower classes live here. A long straight road takes us to the central square - Plaza Mayor. We get off the car and walk through the crowd around market stands. In one corner we can see a small group of demonstrators protesting against Pepsi, but only a few people listen to them. We are however interested in two most important monuments - National Palace (originaly the office of the President, nowadays an art gallery) and St James' Cathedral. We stay here only a few minutes, get back in the car and drive out of the city. On the way, we can see the modern buildings of central bank and justice department close to a bus station. If you plan coming here, take a look at a city map (you can find others on the web, but their quality is usually bad; it is better to take the effort and buy one).

Z pláže jsem šel přímo na autobusové nádraží společnosti Tela Expres, která provozuje přímé spoje do San Pedro Sula. Autobus odjížděl ve 14:00, doba jízdy měla být 1.5 hodiny. Něco takového by se mi bývalo hodilo už cestou sem.

From the beach, I went directly to a terminal of Tela Expres, which operates direct buses to San Pedro Sula. The bus left at 2 pm, travel time should have been 1.5 hours. I would have appreciated something like this on the way here. In San Pedro, we were before 4 pm. I planned to stay in the same hotel as on the first night. The Tela Expres terminal was however far from the center and I walked along the train station on the way. The head office had still open doors. Why not take an opportunity and say hello? The lady, which answered my question in the morning, had however different information now. The tomorrow's train is not sure, so I should come between 7 and 8 am and ask again. This did not sound good. I asked her to call the colleague, that I arranged everything with. He came, called somewhere with a cell phone - and answered with certainty: the track works take longer and the train will not run on Thursday, but only on Saturday. This was enough for me. I thanked them and apologized that I have no more time. I immediately went to a bus terminal and went to the suburb of Puerto Cortés, on the crossroads where buses to Omoa leave from. Just be away from San Pedro Sula, where I can expect nothing any more. The van was half-empty and we had to wait for more passengers. I watched the time, because dusk was imminent. After coming to Puerto Cortés, a bus to downtown Omoa came soon, with a final stop just next to Roli's Place hotel. We still arrived at a reasonable time. There was an available bed in Roli's Place, I checked in and went for a dinner. The restaurant was full of students of a local sailor school, who were busy copying correct answers on exam questions. One told me about his experience with luxury cruises from America to Europe - the travel takes about 4 days one way, there are about 2,000 passengers and 1,000 crew on the boat, and the price is approx. $4,000 per person). In the hotel, I met other tourists from Canada.
