As part of diving in Roatan, an island north of Honduras with direct flights to the US, we arrived a few days early to do some land tours and a day of land based diving. We flew from Houston and it was a reaosnably short flight:
We didn't do the entire island, but close to it:
Our tour guide picked us up at the airport, and we went to our first location to go ziplining:
Then we got visit and to play with monkeys:
Then was time for the monkeys:
After that we went to a Rum and chocolate store and we were able to visit a nice little village:
and dinner
The 2nd day we started our day tours with an ATV tour. Of course it drove at speeds that were not much fun for me, but the guide nicely agreed to let me drive ahead on the way back Arturo told me later that he regreetted it when he saw how fast I drove. He was kind of worried for both me and his ATV :) While I had fun and pushed a bit, nothing happened though, my basic skills of staying on a road, even full of holes and gravel, kicked in.
Arturo trying to catch up :)
we made it to the beach eventually, nice little stop
on the way back, I went ahead and waited at each intersection
Next stop was another park with sloths, parrots and monkeys:
the monkeys were much less trained and looking for trouble :)
and then we got to hold sloths:
cute :)
After that we had a drive across the island to our next point, the mangrove tunnel, which was beautiful:
We were then dropped off for lunch at a restaurant by the water:
We then finished with an iguana farm, that also had crafty parrots:
we watched it take the lock off and open it
hungry iguanas
Cool to see them running around and being so hungry:
