+ We have been convinced by our friends we met in Semuc Champey to go to a festival on an insland in the Caribbean sea, in Honduras. We still had some stops in front of us before going to the Utila Island (like Flores, Tikal, Rio Dulce) and we had to arrive ideally one day before the festival on the island. It was managable, but we had a tight time schedule. Then, in Rio Dulce our schedule got out of control: we liked the place too much and decided to stay a day longer, a day we needed normally for travelling to Honduras... Then, the day we decided to leave, we found out that the way we wanted to take initially would mean to change bus or boat about 6 times until we get there... Luckily, there was an alternative way - not as spectacular as the one we wanted to take - one that would make us arrive on Utila on the 6th in the morning, the day of the festival, if nothing goes wrong. And we arrived in time!!! With Jenny and Michelle, with whom we did the unforgetable journey together from Semuc. :)
+ The special thing about this festival is that it is on a tiny island next to Utila where there is absolutely nothing except the festival.As one is not allowed to take cameras there, we have unfortunately only one picture of the island (from a poster). The island is really small, but all was wonderful, from the sunset there until the sunrise, with our friends from Semuc with music for 24 hours... The hassle to get there was worth it!

+ Utila ilsland is pretty big; the good thing about it is that there is only one town and the rest of the island is all wild and green. The town is small, with many colorful houses with wonderful gardens, many women selling their baleadas (Baleada is a wheat flour tortilla, folded in half and filled with mashed fried beans & cheese & cream. A "light" snack... Mmmh... frijoles todo el dia por favor!) and some docks from where you can swim.
+ Utila`s beaches are really nice, but have sooo many sandflies!
+ Arrived with the Jenny & Michelle, reunited with Ben & Ido, we just enjoyed the evenings and met many other awesome people. Utila is just perfect for partying!
