Rainy Roatan

From Talanga I went to the Bay Islands of Honduras for almost a week. To get there I made it to Tegucigalpa, then traveled 6 hours north to city of La Ceiba on the Carribean coast of Honduras. From La Ceiba I took a boat to Roatan which has both good beaches and scuba diving. The trip was somewhat of a bust considering it was costly, raining almost everyday, and I was sick most of my time there.

The highlight of the trip was the scuba diving. The Bay Islands offer some of cheapest diving in the world, and it is beautiful. The rain cut down on the visibility, but it was still gorgeous. I took some pictures with a disposable underwater camera, but not enough to justify developing the roll, so they won't be on the blog for awhile. I expected to dive more than I did, but the constant rain and sickness got in the way of that.

I stayed at West End in Roatan, which is usually a fun place – I had been there a couple of times when I lived in Honduras. This time the place was pretty dead since it was their low season. I was hoping for a different experience on Roatan, but that's the way it goes sometimes. I had to laugh when I woke up on my last morning on the island and the was the sunniest day of my trip. The only photos I took of Roatan were when I was leaving with my back on, Ha. Next time.
