But it wasn't a rock...

Island detective. The words roll off your tongue like silk. There's really no other way to describe Casey. Except paranoid. Or junkie. Or hunter-gatherer with a machete and a plastic bag, looking for mahogany. But I'll stick with island detective.
We met Casey just outside our hotel. He was out on a mission, looking for a passport that had been stolen from some girl two days before. He was yet to find any leads in the case, but he was carrying some interesting pieces in his plastic bag. Mahogany pieces.
It turned out he actually could speak Norwegian. He had a wife in Norway, he said, but didn't look too happy telling us this so we didn't ask any further questions.

Casey showed us his home; a concrete apartment with trash just about everywhere. We saw spoons with weird burn marks on them and a glass pipe, among other things. He also had a table made purely of mahogany; he was gonna rebuild it now using his new found pieces.
We immediately saw his true nature: a great guy with his broken heart in the right place, so we stuck around for a while, watching television.
And that is the story of how we met our only true Bay Island friend, Casey - island detective.

Tre dyk blev det pa Utila. Det var riktigt trevligt faktiskt. Inte ens i narheten lika rikt djurliv och vackra koraller som vi minns fran Asien, men riktigt kul att dyka igen. Vi fick bland annat se nagra skoldpaddor och troligtvis varldens storsta hummer!

Annars gjorde vi bara det vanliga pa on: gled runt och at/drack gott och tog det lugnt.
Lokalbefolkningen pa on pratade inte spanska som vi blivit van vid - de pratade engelska med en fyllig karibisk/jamaikansk dialekt. Det maste vara den harligaste dialekten jag hort.

Efter on blev det annu en transportdag for att ta oss till Copán Ruinas, vart vi nu befinner oss. Har finns ruiner fran Mayaindiarnernas glansdagar. Ruinerna och museet var riktigt intressanta; vi angrade bara att vi inte hade skaffat oss mer forkunskaper kring amnet, det hade nog gjort det annu intressantare.

Harifran ar nasta mal Guatemala - landet som snittade 17 mord per dag 2008!

Tack och adjo.
