Livingston

Kind of on the way to Honduras, Livingston is a fairly popular stop off. Taking a boat from Rio Dulce down to the coast I found myself sitting beside two guys from Dublin, which is quite unusual this trip as it seems the Paddys are staying home this year. Normally I can't move without bumping into some.

We got soaked as the boat was a bit overladen, but the sun was shining and the vista breathtaking as we carved our way downstream in canyons surrounded by the thickest rainforest I have ever seen.

Livingston suddenly appears at the mouth of the river and is a cool little place. Just like Belize it is full of english speaking Garifuna. So it was back to chicken and rice and 24/7 reggae, but this time with cheap Guatemalan beer and some Paddys.

Perfect.
