HONDURAS
Santa Bárbara Department
Quimistán
The "Taco's & Toucan's" Trip
Café de Palo
Tuesday May 7th, 2019
2½ hours into the trip, the driver decided to pull into Café de Palo on the outskirts of Quimistán so that he could have breakfast - while the rest of us stood around looking for the Meaning of Life.
While the driver was dining, I decided to get some photos of the "good" tyres on our Toyota Coaster minivan, as back in Copán Ruinas I queried the transport companies representative on the vehicles condition.
I was less than impressed when she tells me "You don't understand anything about Honduran tyres and roads and as we are a poor country, we can't just replace stuff for any little reason."
I responded that tyres being as bald as a monkeys arse, with chunks of tread missing and the rags of the carcass showing is anything but minor FFS.
