Entering Honduras...
Today my wife and I crossed into Honduras, from Guatemala @ Copan.
Took us 5 hours, and we paid 42USD each :-S
The officer managed to keep us busy (or mainly waiting) with stupid questions, even discussions about the color of the bikes and other stupid stuff, and then, at 11:25AM managed to tell us the bank would close at 11:30AM wouldn't open until monday. We could only proceed, if we would pay 42USD each, to him. No receipts, nothing, but he would then arrange the payment on monday. Only then, our info would be processed 'in the system' to have us legally driving in Honduras.
We do have the import doc, and various stamps in our passports etc.
What we do not have, is any proof of payment, to the guy nor to the bank. The receipt for that 'is not important', but we can pick it up on monday. Yeah right, guess he'll keep us waiting again...
What I wonder:
- Is this payment 'normal' , how much does it normally cost?
- Do I need this 'registration in the system' to be able to leave Honduras without issues?
- Do I need the receipt for the payment at the bank when I leave?
