Caribbean or Honduran?

That was the question Erica asked our hotel owner. She replied Honduran, even though she spoke with a Caribbean accent!

I sure felt like I was in the Caribbean!

We stayed at "Seagrape Plantation" in our 1/2 of a hut. The purple one...5a... with a super big hammock out front! Air conditioned and no TV. It was heaven!

Three nights and two full days of lazying around.

The group didn't hang out much during the day, as everyone was off doing their own thing. Diving, swimming with dolphins, hanging out on the beach...........you know, the stuff you do when you are living a rough life!

Fantastic!

The Bay Islands of Honduras offer a very different world from that of mainland Honduras.

The Islands history, which includes many disputes between the Spaniards and the British during colonial times, with the British actually controlling the islands most of time, have given the islands a unique heritage.

There are several islands within the department, with three larger ones being the most popular with tourists: Utila, Roatan and Guanaja.

English is so widely spoken in the Islands, that some people don't even speak Spanish, despite the fact that this is the official language of Honduras!

Roatan is a long island, measuring almost 40 miles in length and with a total landmass of 49 Square miles. The island has a mountainous backbone and is totally surrounded by coral reefs, offering superb diving as well as excellent fishing.
