The road to the ruins in Copan: Moon in a blue sky

I was careless and started off a bit late from Copan centre to the ruins. They're only ten minutes away but it's best not to waste all day checking out everything in Copan or you'll reach the ruins at dark and then, no photos.

Out of curiosity, I kept walking after the ruins and saw the sign by the small road for a big resort type hotel. It took me at least 10 minutes to walk up the drive so I made it all worth my while by spending an hour at the bar. The barman was very friendly and the hired musician who did his gig was fun too. A minivan filled with French people arrived and livened up the place a bit, but they didn't sing along. I knew all the words to the musician's songs and tried to encourage him, without going too far in case he'd think I was a bar fixture.

I was surprised when the musician told me he lived in Montreal and was on a sort of contract at the resort. When he packed up his instruments and said he was going back to Copan centre, I asked him if I could get a lift with him. But the car picking him up was full already... I nearly cried to think I'd have to walk back along that deserted road. I called a cab. What came was a contraption on 3 wheels and the driver certainly thinks he owns a race car. It was very inexpensive though.
