Family Cruise - Friday

Friday was our last stop in Grand Cayman. We had an island tour booked, so we got to see a lot of the island. We could stand to go back there and maybe do some snorkeling.

Just having fun

Family Cruise - Thursday

Thursday was our most anticipated day. We stopped in Roatan Isle, Honduras. This is the spot that sparked the interest to take this cruise in the first place. And it did not disappoint. We had a private driver the whole day, Lany. He took us everywhere and waited while we did our stuff. We also had a private snorkel tour. It was amazing! We booked the excursion through Victor Bodden tours.

There was a sunken ship in the harbor


A view of Mahogany Bay from the ship. There were a bunch of little shops


First stop - to see and hold the monkey's. This is Dexter






And Tom and Jerry



They were SO cute!










Getting ready to snorkel

It was incredible! We were so close to the reef and coral. You can see
the water is darker in some spots, that's where the reef was really close
to the surface.

Nathan had a little trouble at first, he thought the water was cold,
but was soon off swimming with the guide.

Time to swim and relax on the beach





Roatan is just a long thin island.

Back at the ship we had some pizza and ice cream.
This is the result of Nathan getting Teresa ice cream
