Vi er nu dykkere!!! +English

Vi bestod vores dykkerkursus igaar og har nu bevis paa vi maa dykke ned til 18 meters dybde.. Torsdag morgen havde vi en skriftlig proeve. Det tog ca en times tid, saa det er jo ingenting, sammenlignet med de 5-6 timers lange proever vi har derhjemme :-) Om eftermiddagen havde vi saa to dyk, et til 18 meter og et til 12 meter. Det er tydeligt at maerke, hvor hurtigt man vaenner sig til at goere alt automatisk under vandet. Det aller foerste dyk var enormt anstrengende, fordi man skal koncentrere sig utrolig meget om noget saa simpelt som at traekke vejret! De dyk vi lavede igaar var langt mere afslappende og vi kunne rigtig nyde koralrevene og alle de fine fisk. Der er fantastisk mange flotte fisk i alle mulige farver, vi er faktisk ret sikre paa at det maa vaere her Disney har vaeret nede da de lavede filmen "Find Nemo"... Vi har bare ikke fundet ham endnu.

I gaar aftes ville vi faktisk have lavet mad selv, men lige som vi kom ned til supermarkedet, lukkede de! Saa vi maatte finde os et sted at spise. Det er nu heller ikke saa slemt endda, for med de priser der er i supermarkedet, saa bliver prisen for at lave mad selv, naesten den samme som for at spise ude!! (Det er dog kun  her, vi har oplevet det..)

I dag stod vi op kl. 6 for at komme med ud paa de tidlige dyk. Turen gik om til Nordsiden af oeen, som var fuldstaendig anderledes fra den side vi har dykket paa indtil nu. Og vi saa DELFINER!!! Og flyvefisk. Ret sejt. Det var en fed morgen og sjovt at vaere ude at dykke som rigtige dykkere, og ikke fordi vi var ved at laere det :-) Siden vi nu er helt faerdige med dykkerkurset og har faaet taget vores to ekstra dyk, regner vi med at tage herfra imorgen tidlig og stile mod Guatemala. Bliver spaendende at se noget nyt igen, er trods alt laenge at vaere naesten en uge det samme sted, og Guatemala skulle vaere helt fantastisk! Saa der gaar nok et par dage, foer vi igen finder os et sted med internet. Indtil da - Ha' det godt allesammen! Vi taenker tit paa jer!

Mange kaerlige hilsener

ENGLISH VERSION: You may now call us "Open water divers"!

Yesterday we finished our diving course and we now have certificats saying that we are allowed to dive down to 60 feet - Pretty freakin' cool... We did a written test in the morning yesterday. It only took an hour, so that's nothing compared to the 5-6 hours written tests we have at home :-) After the test we went on our last two dives included in the course. It's amazing how fast you adapt to being underwater. The very first dive we did was really exhausting, because there's so many things to concentrate on. Even your breathing is difficult to control, when you actually have to think about it! Our dives yesterday afternoon was really relaxed and again we saw the most amazing things.

Today we went diving really early in the morning. We went to the northside of the island and it was really different from what we'd seen so far on our other dives. Again a beautiful day with great diving. We can totally understand the people, that get stuck on this island diving! We saw Dolphins, Flying fish and Morays - cool!

Tonight we actually really intended to cook our dinner (we have a small - almost descent kitchen), but when we got to the grocery store they were just closing. That is probably the 3rd time that has happend to us here! So we had to go out again. On our way trying to find a place, we met a Dutch guy, that we had met earlier in Granada. He showed us a really nice place to eat. The owner of the restaurant was Dutch too, and had lived in Honduras for 8 years. She used to have a restaurant in Copan Ruinas, the City we are staying tomorrow on our way to Antigua, Guatemala, so she sat down with us and told us all the good places to go in the city, all the not-to-go's, and even made reservations for us at a place that should be really nice and have fair prices. She was so sweet! Tomorrow we leave at 6am with the boat, to get back at the mainland, and then we go by bus to Copan Ruinas, still in Honduras. -On our way to more exciting experiences!

Our love to you all!
