Cruise Day 4 (Jan 14) Roatan, Honduras

On day 4, we were on the island of Roatan which is of the coast of, and part of Honduras. I had read about Roatan and have been wanting to go there for quite some time. The island was beautiful. It has lush green jungles and the scuba diving is world renown. We booked the scuba shore excursion with two dives. The bus took us through the hills and jungles to the cruise operator, Anthony’s Key Resort. Their website is: (http://www.anthonyskey.com/en/index.html

This is Joseph, John and Mark after the first dive.

Jon Paul and John took over a hundred underwater photos with Jon Paul’s camera. I wanted to post a few of them to give you an idea of what we saw. I know this is still a lot of photos, so you can scroll past them if you get bored. There were so many amazing fish and other creatures; it was hard to not post them. John Upside down.

This is Mark and Joseph coming up after the 2nd dive.


When the boat returned to the dock, it felt good to rinse off in the fresh water shower.


By the dock, there were some pretty flowers. I believe they were bougainvillea. The flowers were even prettier when Mom was next to them.

Back on the ship, we had real showers and changed clothes. These are Mom on the balcony with Roatan in the background.

When we got off the ship there was a group of local people singing and playing local native music in traditional costume. They stayed there all day and continued to play as our ship was departing. This was taken as we were leaving.
