A marvellous fry-up by Rach to start the day & we decided to definitely get off our lazy arses today & do something. We headed down to the beach to catch a water taxi to West Bay, but ended up using a normal taxi. When we got there we realised why we'd been recommended not to stay there. The beach was gorgeous with white sand & crystal clear waters, but it had large, expensive hotels & complexes. Way out of a lowly traveller's budget. So we had a ...

This has to have been one of our laziest days so far. We got up & Tanja & I went to the shops for supplies (including a bottle of Bacardi & wine). A bit later Rach & I went to get some stuff for dinner & then Tanja & Sara went out again for a few other bits & pieces. So basically, the whole day was spent sitting on the deck, chatting, nipping out to the shops & utilising the coffee machine! Apart from that we did b***** all & n...

Up early for the 2 hour ferry/catamaran across to Roatan. It wasn't the smoothest crossing, however we did see a dolphin jumping alongside the boat, along with lots of flying fish skimming over the water. The arrival port was halfway along the island, so we had to get a taxi to West End/Half Moon bay, which we again shared with the Swiss girls. We ended up grabbing the first place we looked at which was a lovely wooden 2 bed apartment with a kitchen/diner & v...

Today's going to be a day on buses, so we struggled to find the enthusiasm to get up. When we did though & spoke to the reception, it turned out the bus didn't go until 12:30. This was a pain, as the journey up to La Ceiba was 7.5 hours. However with little we could do, we waited in the hostel & then taxied it over to catch the bus. Sleep & '24' got us through the trip, arriving after it was dark. We met & shared a cab to check out hostels with a ...

We tried to sneakily use the wifi of the local restaurants, (for me to call one of my 'God children' on her birthday (Eve)), but failed miserably! We did find an internet cafe on the way back to our place to checkout, but couldn't use Skype there either. So just printed out all the crap paperwork that we needed to. It seems that even though we're in the digital age (& the other side of the world!), multiple companies in the UK will only accept signed original...
