Higuerales

We woke to bright sunshine and a clear blue sea moored to the jetty at Roatan's capital, Coxen Hole. The whole island only has 50,000 inhabitants so C. H. is only a village really but does have an airport that I assumed was only for small aircraft till we noticed an Airbus 320 taxiing for take off! As tourism is 90% of their GDP I suppose it is not surprising.
We hired a taxi for a few hours and saw a few highlights, then went to a beach to snorkel. Excellent stuff! So many species of fish and interesting coral.
I was hoping to get a beer back in C. H. but couldn't bring myself to pay €6 for one - it's less than half that on the boat! So we went back on board and read while looking at this tropical paradise (except for the price of beer!).
The day ended with another excellent show and meal and an elephant in the room!Read more
