a far cry from what we paid in St. Kitts on our cruise in February &#8211; which was even more when you count the cost of shipping the divemaster a Boise State Broncos shirt.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/worldwanderlusting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Cataratas-Pulhapanzak_JPG.jpg\"><img data-attachment-id=\"1131\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/worldwanderlusting.com\/?attachment_id=1131\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/worldwanderlusting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Cataratas-Pulhapanzak_JPG.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"500,666\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Cataratas Pulhapanzak_JPG\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/worldwanderlusting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Cataratas-Pulhapanzak_JPG-225x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/worldwanderlusting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Cataratas-Pulhapanzak_JPG.jpg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1131\" title=\"Cataratas Pulhapanzak_JPG\" src=\"https:\/\/worldwanderlusting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Cataratas-Pulhapanzak_JPG.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/worldwanderlusting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Cataratas-Pulhapanzak_JPG.jpg 500w, https:\/\/worldwanderlusting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Cataratas-Pulhapanzak_JPG-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a>For at least the next couple of weeks, Honduras will bear the brunt of my wanderlust as I search out hidden gems like the Pulhapanzak Waterfall &#8211;
