Day 30: Here She Comes… (And Her Name is Captain Berto! :))
March 9, 2006
We must have made the day of the fishermen of Trujillo by showing up at the
"muelle" (little local wharf) at dawn looking for cargo boats to
Roatan :) First of all, the little wharf turned out to be the one and only
"port" of Trujillo (we hoped there was one more which we didn't
find last night - what about those boats to Jamaica???) Second, we found out
there might be some unscheduled boats leaving for Roatan some day… Maybe
Juan will go there next month, and perhaps he could take a few passengers,
if you guys agreed to sit on sacks of tomatoes and potatoes, and share the
room with several piglets…
We didn't even mention the car…:)
All in all, it looked like a good time to get back to Michelle & Gianluca
in La Ceiba, where our friends had done a much better job - they managed to
find a cargo boat which would take both cars to Roatan for USD 400 round trip!
"Captain Berto" was the name of the miracle, and although she wasn't
going to leave La Ceiba until Monday, we all decided that it was well worth
the wait. After all, wasting time on the Caribbean beaches while waiting for
Monday is not the worst thing that could happen! :)

Little town, little port, little cargo boats...
Mazas miestelis - mazas uostelis, mazi krovininiai laiveliai |
This one is especially for our friend Dima - didn't know you had a business in Honduras :)

You can buy one for a dollar or climb a tree and get it free!
Kokoso riesutai: po doleri gatveje, uz dyka palmeje (jei pasiseks pasiekti) |

30-oji diena: Sviesa tunelio gale
2006 m. kovo 9
Prie romantiskojo lieptelio buvom pirmieji "klientai". Kita ryta
gal butumem netgi pastebeje nuostabu Karibu sauleteki, bet siandien - ne tas
galvoj. Kur laivai I Roatana??? Apsnude zvejai nelabai supranta, ko is ju
norim. - Kokio dar kito uosto? O kuo sitas per prastas?? Prasom neizeidineti!
Cia yra Trujillo uostas - puikiausias uostas pasaulyje, ir taskas!
Siaip ne taip pavyko issiaiskinti, kad viena kita valtis I salas kartais
plaukia, bet jokio fiksuoto grafiko nera. Kazkuris is zveju prisimine, kad
Chuanas lyg tai gavo bulviu uzsakyma is Roatano… tai va, jeigu dar kazkas
uzsisakys bent kelis maisus pomidoru ir pora parseliu, tai Chuanas jau greitai
isplauks. Kadangi Chuanas - labai geras zmogus, tai tikrai pora keleiviu paims,
tik reikes mazdaug 6 valandas pasedeti ant bulviu maisu ir palaikyti ant keliu
parselius… Apie masina nusprendem net nebeuzsiminti… :)
Supratom ir dar viena dalyka - "bote de cargo" (krovininis laivas) vietiniu supratimu nebutinai yra didziulis, tvirtas laivas. Net ir pati maziausia valtele yra vadinama krovininiu laivu, jeigu ji naudojama ne zvejybai ar dar kam nors, o daiktu transportavimui is tasko A I taska B :)
Ka gi, su Trujillo ir ju laivais viskas aisku. Chuanui ir jo parseliams I Roatana teks plaukti be musu, o mums laikas grizti I La Ceiba pas Michelle ir Gianluca, kuriems siryt daug labiau pasiseke - vienas is parplaukusiu laivu, vardu "Captain Berto", sutiko perkelti abi masinas uz $400. Musu "maziukui" Nissanui kelione I Roatana ir atgal kainuotu tik $175! Su tokiais nuostoliais jau galima gyventi. Vienintele problema - Captain Berto isplaukia tik pirmadieni, todel reikes tris dienas palaukti. Nutariam, kad vis tiek verta - galu gale, gaisti laika tinginiaujant ant Karibu juros kranto nera taip ir blogai :)
