We were moving today, so Rach & I went snorkelling for a couple of hours in the morning, before we sadly checked out of Posada Las Orquidaes & moved 300m up the road to Casa Calico, where we got 2 separate rooms next to each other, with a small kitchen in ours. Both rooms had a wooden veranda out back with a gorgeous view into this other bay. Once we were settled, I headed off by water-taxi to West Bay to try out the snorkelling there. Unfortunately thoug...

Rach did the honours again for breakfast, to gear us up for the day's activities. We each grabbed a kayak, snorkelling gear & lifejacket & headed the whole 50m down to the beach. The sea was quite calm & we paddled about 100m+ to just outside the bay, before attaching the kayaks together & 3 of us jumping in. The water was warm & crystal clear with a visibility of about 15m. The coral reef beneath us was dense, colourful & plentiful. (Supp...

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...
