Roatan Island, Honduras



Jeremy and I had the amazing opportunity to spend a few days in Honduras and we had an amazing time! We went without Owen this trip, but this is a kids paradise.

Here are a few pictures of the beach and Pristine Bay- a resort being built down there that is absolutely amazing. Pristine Bay looks more like ancient ruins of a city than a city being built today... just looks funny without wooden frames!

The water is crystal clear and has a turquoise blue tint to it... you can scuba dive within feet of the beach since the reef runs along the edge of the island. The local breakfast is eggs over medium, rice, beans, avocado with a side of tortillas- 2 please! The beer is Barena and the rum is Zacapa. Try a glass of Zacapa if you ever get a chance... Jeremy says its like honey. I can drink it straight, and I don't drink anything on the rocks other than a margarita- it really is that good.

And beware... you never know when a European couple might just sit down next to you on the beach and change out of their regular clothes into bathing suits... yes, I do mean, right in front of you.






Traffic jam...

This is our amazing tour guide, who is a Honduran local, who drove us all over the island and became a good friend of ours, Jim Bob Burdett. JB has lived in Honduras for the last 8 years and I highly doubt there is a single person on the island that he doesn't know.
