Honduras' oldest settlement, once the administrative centre of the colony, Trujillo now is mainly a reference to the past, a relaxed place on the north coast of the country.
Trujillo is a small, quiet town. I walked the city under a light drizzle, and started with a visit to the old fortress. Originally, this was a very big stronghold, of which just few walls and buildings remain. The view over the coast and sea is great, even on a cloudy day. Then, I walked up to the old cemetery which unfortunately was closed. I peeped through the gates, and was told that the key of the lock was with someone working in the city hall, obviously closed on that day. One of the men buried at the cemetery is William Walker, an eccentric American who strove to gain control over Central America in the 19th century, mostly by military means. He was actually executed outside Trujillo. After the cemetery, I walked back to the city centre, and walked through the town, along the coastline.
