Day 5
Roatan, Honduras 🇭🇳🏝️🐠
May 6 in Honduras ⋅ 🌬 29 °C
Roatan ist eine Insel in der Karibik und ist etwa 65 km vor der Nordküste Honduras. Sie ist berühmt für seine außergewöhnliche Meeresvielfalt und hat das zweitgrößte Barriereriff der Welt, was die Insel zu einem idealen Ort zum Schnorcheln und Tauchen macht. 🤿🐠🐡
Wir wollen aber erstmal die kleine Stadt erkunden und dann zum Strand.

Vom Anleger aus müssen wir erstmal durch die schreiende Vermittler Masse, die uns Ausflugsziele und Taxis zum Strand andrehen wollen. Wir gehen aber zielstrebig weiter in Richtung Stadt oder ist / war es nur ein Dorf?! 🤷‍♀️
Schneller wie gedacht kommen wir nicht mehr weiter und siehe da, ein Taxi naht 🚕.

Nach Verhandlungskünsten von Jürgen haben wir jetzt einen privaten Taxifahrer, der uns rund um die Insel fährt, uns viel Wissenswertes und interessante Dinge erklärt und uns einiges aus seinem eigenem Leben erzählt. So hat er selbst vier Kinder und alle Kinder können hier zur Schule gehen und tragen Schuluniform. Tiere leben hier vor allen Legoane und Spinnen. Ein eigener kleiner Flughafen ist in Bau; Strom wird durch Solar Anlagen und Windräder erzeugt. Wir sind sehr erstaunt und überrascht ☺️

Vor allen Dingen nachdem wir die Hütten und den Schmutz am Anfang unserer Tour gesehen haben. 🥲 Die Kriminalität ist hier sehr gering; die Polizei 👮‍♀️🚨ist gut aufgestellt, da die Inselbewohner von den Kreuzfahrt Schiffen leben ( in der Hochsaison/Wintermonaten) kommen an den zwei Häfen insgesamt 14-16 Schiffe in der Woche an.Read more

Day 23
Scuba Diving
March 14, 2024 in Honduras ⋅ 🌬 27 °C
Today was a real trip highlight! Courtesy of Gaynor's diving school (Coconut Tree Divers) we had our own 2-to-1 introduction to diving day!

First up we were taken through the basics in shallow water at the beach. It didn't take us long to pick up the required skills to be ready for a dive.

After a break we then headed a little further out on the boat. Although we don't have any pictures of our actual dive, I've attached a picture of the area it was in.

The area was full of coral and fish, but I think funniest of all was seeing each other on the ocean floor in diving gear like something out of Mission Impossible, a long way from Mr Syed's year 8 maths class!

We were able to go down to 40ft deep and our underwater escapade lasted 52 minutes without rising above the surface once!

We had a great time and it was a big box ticked in trying something we've both been wanting to do for a while. Thanks to Gaynor and her expert guide for such a wonderful day!Read more
Traveler Amazing. If Mr She'd could see you now! 🧐 Thanks so much for taking such good care our our boys Gayn. 💙

Day 22
Staying at Jackie's
March 13, 2024 in Honduras ⋅ 🌬 28 °C
For the next two nights we're staying at Jackie's house (Gaynor's neighbour) whilst she is away. Her place is basic (although less basic than were used to) and absolutely lovely!

Danny immediately befriended the many dogs of Jackie and Gaynor's and I was happy for him to absorb their attention.

We seized the opportunity to do some washing, sit on a couch, and watch Karl Pilkington and Impractical Jokers clips on YouTube. Sometimes it's the simple things!Read more
Traveler What a lovely place to stay. ❤️.

Day 22
Camp Bay Drinks
March 13, 2024 in Honduras ⋅ 🌬 28 °C
At around lunchtime we stopped off at an ocean bar at Camp Bay. Not only were the views out to sea brilliant but there were also dozens of hummingbirds buzzing around!

After this we set back off on the road and before long stopped off at the top of a hill, with a viewpoint baring 5 flags (Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica), flags that we're now just about able to tell the difference between!Read more
Traveler You always did know your flags !

Day 22
Boat Tour
March 13, 2024 in Honduras ⋅ 🌬 28 °C
Our first proper stop of the day was for a long-boat tour! The three of us hopped into a boat with our captain who guided us through the Oak Ridge area.

It was an absolutely stunning adventure through the area where we observed the locals going about their daily business, including children driving their own boat to school!

There were also long carved out Mangrove Tree paths to enable boats to get from place to place. These were both very picturesque but also provided some shade.Read more

Roatan Island Tour
March 13, 2024 in Honduras ⋅ 🌬 27 °C
This morning Gaynor picked us up shortly before 9am for an island tour!

We had a quick stop off at the busy Roatan sign, busy because there were 5 cruise ships in today! After this we continued to meander through the hills and villages.Read more
Traveler A tour with a local , it doesn’t get better than that. 🏝️🛳️🏖️😎👍

Dinner in Roatan
March 12, 2024 in Honduras ⋅ 🌬 28 °C
After zip lining we headed back to our hostel, via a bar to watch extra time of Arsenal v Porto.

We then headed out again to meet Gaynor and her friend at the nearby Pazzo Italian restaurant. The food and atmosphere was great and we event spent a good while chatting to the owner.Read more
Traveler Sounds like you're having a fine time. You'll be shattered! 🤣😴

Day 20
West Bay
March 11, 2024 in Honduras ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
We spent the afternoon close to the tip of the island at West Bay which is a great snorkelling spot! It also has the densest population of Americans I've ever known, including having been to America.

We took it in turns to snorkel using equipment borrowed from our hostel then found a sunbed to rest up for a few hours.

We then took the water taxi back to West End before heading out for dinner and a few drinks. To our overwhelming disappointment the chippy we've been eyeing up still isn't open, but we did end up finding a bar with $2 beers and $3 tequilas. We also spent over an hour sharing our table with an older Canadian couple, each sharing our travel experiences.Read more

Sunset in Roatan
March 10, 2024 in Honduras ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
This evening we headed back to Half Moon Bay to Sundowners Beach Bar for happy hour sunset cocktails! Although there was a palm tree in the way we still had a prime viewing spot over the bay for sunset.

After a few hours here we then moved on to a local place for pizza and another drink before calling it a day.Read more
Traveler I hope that wasn't just yours Greg, it's a monster, wow! 👍😀

Roatan
May 24, 2023 in Honduras ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Jaja das Roatan het üs ou sehr guet gfaue! Mir si jedä Tag mehreri Stung im Wasser gsi entweder am Touche odr de ono geng am Schnorchlä😅
Die Ungerwasserwäut isch eifach ä Wäut für sich und het üs eifach faszinierd😊
Mir hei bi üsem Hotel mega cooli Lüt troffe (Österrich, Brasilie und Ecuador) und si meischtens z 5fte höch ungerwegs gsi! De hei mir am einte Tag ä Roller gmietet und si uf der Insel vo Ort zu Ort umegfahre. U natürli si mir scho wieder inä Polizeikontrolle cho (Sam isch wieder gfahre..de isch das scho fasch klar gsi)😎 Abr das mau hei si ke Gäud wöue😅Read more

Traveler When I go back in a few weeks or so maybe I should give Roatan a second look. Your photos make it look very enticing.
