As the former capital, Comayagua merits a visit as a quiet colonial town. The town's unique asset is one of the oldest clocks in the world, hidden in the tower of its cathedral.
His eyes looked very lively and eager. He was very delighted to open the wooden box, and as he opened the doors, there it appeared: the more than 900 years old clockwork. The wheelwork, ropes, weights, pendulums, some moving and some not, and the old man, who introduced himself as Blas Reyes, set off to explain how this collection of wooden and metallic parts could tell the time. He was a passionate speaker, in love with his clock, and obviously this was his life work. Actually, he has been doing this since 1963, sleeping next to the clock every day, fixing it when necessary, and winding it up early morning when he came in and every evening before he left. He took us upstairs to show the enormous bells, some to sound every 15 minutes, some only at the full hours. He begged us to stay until the clock would strike 5, so we could see what happened. Even though I was going to miss the last bus back to Tegucigalpa, I could not resist. One of the wheels turned, there were clicks, another wheel started to spin rapidly, and we saw the cables connecting the clock with the bells upstairs move just before the clock started to sound. I thanked this colourful person and fortunately enough still found a bus on the Siguatepeque to Tegicugalpa highway.
