The bus ride from Copan to Tegucigalpa is a long 7 hours on one of Honduras' main highways, CA- 5. Just one lane in each direction, and lots of road blocks where police check for drivers' licenses and drugs. We stopped in San Pedro Sula to drop off the group at the airport. The parking lot was full of buses painted with church and NGO logos.
Here's a typical rest stop. Bathrooms, restaurant, souvenir shop.
The best part about driving on the highway in Honduras is construction. Since there's only one lane in each direction, you have to take turns driving over a section of road that's being worked on. Traffic backs up for kilometers waiting to drive through a construction zone. Little kids weave in and out of the backed-up lane, selling fresh cut fruit in baggies and hot tortillas.
