Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

After a day at sea we arrived in the capital city of the Bay Islands of Honduras.

at this port we had time for the geocaching
before our excursion

our December 3rd destination

OFD chose most of our excursions (with our input). Since none of the three of us are big water/beach or adventure fans, our excursions included wildlife when ever possible. We were all looking forward to this destination as it was a sanctuary for no-longer-wanted-pet-capuchin monkeys and for macaws. We were not disappointed.

colorful plants


LOTS of lizards


the macaws, green and scarlet, who would be working

just too cute!


a couple of capabaras at the park
(I expected them to be larger than they were!
In reality maybe the size of a badger?)


the trainer put some sunflower seeds in Curt's pocket


momma and baby


these guys were well-trained and well behaved



After the tour and some more shopping of local hand-crafted items, we stopped at the Drinky Monkey. This is a view of the shopping area at the port. (We went beyond this area for the geocache in the morning. Very safe and fun to do a bit of exploring of the town.)



We ate and drank at each of our stops, if we had the time and opportunity. This lunch/snack included chicken nachos (devoured), chicken strips and fries and three adult beverages. Always good food and yummy, strong drinks. We ended our day in Roatan with a geocaching event because I wasn't certain we'd be able to get the geocache in the city market place, as the geocache guardian keeps her eye on it by taking it home each night. 


a very small geocaching event



Good-bye Honduras
